Click to enlarge
Stock Index Corner: S&P 500
The weekly of S&P has formed a higher low and turned bullish and now possibly moving towards 1424 as the next target.
S&P500:
Big Picture: (monthly): Bullish
Medium term (weekly): Bullish
Short term (daily): Bullish
Fundamental:
The S&P 500 forward P/E (based on forward-looking earnings) is currently at 15.94 which is
moderately above the recent 11-year low of 14.27 posted in mid-June but still keeps the stock market in a fairly reasonable valuation light.
Major World Indexes
Weekly MACD Histogram (Medium term): FTSE, NikkeiASX - Down
Commodity Corner: Corn
Technical:
Corn is the most bullish grain commodity and has risen more than 50% in the last 2 months. The daily is showing some tehnical weakness and may decline to 345 for Dec futures.
Fundamental:
The USDA report on Nov 9 failed to give the market any fresh bullish impetus and the market
is now being weighed down by harvest pressure and long liquidation pressure by large specs. Since this year’s corn crop is nearly in the bin (90% harvested) and weather has ceased to be a factor, the question is whether there will be enough corn from this year’s crop to meet strong usage demand. So far, export demand has been holding up despite high prices, which means that prices will need to remain high enough to draw out 53% of the corn in inventories. Thus, even if corn prices fall on some long liquidation pressure, the decline is not likely to go very far due to the tight supply situation for this year and next year.
