With events in the Middle East taking a negative turn, the BEGOS Markets today featured various “gap” openings, notably Oil which settled Friday at 85.57 opened up at 88.15, Gold from 4849 down to open at 4812 and the Spoo from 7164 down to open at 7103. At present, the Bond, Gold, Silver and Spoo are below today’s Neutral Zones, whilst Oil is above same, and session volatility is mostly moderate. The Gold Update points to price having nearly reverted back up to its BEGOS Market Value, whereas the S&P 500 having set a record high on Friday remains vastly overvalued by earnings (fundamental) as well as extremely “textbook overbought” (technical). Nothing is due today for the Econ Baro with a very light load in the week’s balance of just six incoming metrics. However, Q1 Earnings Seasons really starts to ramp up as its third week gets underway.
