Gold Is Trying To Break Out Of This Trading Pattern Said Tyler Richey

/in , /by

Gold is trying to break out of the weak, sideways trading pattern, said Tyler Richey

Gold has climbed back above a key trend line. Are more gains on the way?

Futures contracts tied to gold on Friday moved above their 21-day moving average, a short-term trend line traders use to judge whether momentum is improving, according to Tyler Richey, technical analyst and co-editor at Sevens Report. Gold futures also tested their 50-day moving average for a second straight session, with that trend often seen as a more important gauge of the market’s medium-term direction, Richey noted in written commentary shared with MarketWatch.

From a technical perspective, gold is trying to break out of the weak, sideways trading pattern that has been in place since early April, Sevens Report’s Richey said. The metal’s chart patterns aren’t yet sending any clearly bullish signals, and the near-term trend still leans weaker, he noted.

Gold would need to break more convincingly above the $4,800- to $4,900-an-ounce range to show that the bulls are really back in control, Richey added – while, on the downside, a close below $4,400 would be a warning sign.

“Today geopolitics will continue to influence markets although at this point an agreed to ceasefire is mostly priced in, so an official announcement shouldn’t spark a material rally,” writes Sevens Report Research’s Tom Essaye.

Sevens Report Tom Essaye Discusses the Michigan Consumer Sentiment

/in , /by

Review & Preview: Well Done Wednesday

Sevens Report Tom Essaye notes, the University of Michigan Consumer Sentiment hit an all-time low this month—lower than it was during crises like 9/11, the Great Recession, and the pandemic. That could reflect in part extreme inflation fatigue after years of higher prices, but that depressed reading “doesn’t seem to mesh with the financial reality of low-4% unemployment and generally healthy economic metrics.”

Sevens Report says investors dismiss headlines unless oil risk spikes

/in , /by

Tom Essaye says markets still expect a ceasefire despite conflicting signals.

The Market Is Ignoring Negative Iran Headlines. 3 Things That Could Change That.

Markets largely ignored conflicting U.S.-Iran headlines, a reaction Sevens Report Research attributes to fragmented messaging out of Iran.

Tom Essaye notes, “That explains the seemingly opposite headlines emanating from the country as one group, who the White House seems to be communicating with most directly, makes assurances and negotiates a ceasefire while another group takes a hardline approach.”

“Whether this is by fault or by design is unclear, but it is at least partially responsible for the whiplash that we have seen in the headlines coming from Iran.”

Despite the volatility in headlines, Essaye says markets remain anchored to a broader de-escalation outlook.

“The daily headlines aren’t meaningless, but until the market believes one of them breaks the trend towards a sustainable ceasefire, the market will continue to look past it.”

He warns that a material escalation—such as attacks on Gulf infrastructure, U.S. military assets, or prolonged closure of the Strait of Hormuz—would likely trigger a sharp selloff.

“Bottom line, the market fear has always been that the conflict would expand to substantially disrupt oil flows and send the price of oil above $150 towards $200 a barrel,” Essaye writes. “However, that remains unlikely, and as long as it stays unlikely, the market will give the ceasefire process the benefit of the doubt.”

I’ve Never Seen a Fed More Divided – Tom Essaye Says on Yahoo Finance

Sevens Report Research founder Tom Essaye chats with Yahoo Finance Executive Editor

What average investors should know about Fed nominee Kevin Warsh

Federal Reserve Chair nominee Kevin Warsh is set to face his confirmation hearing on Tuesday

Sevens Report Research founder Tom Essaye chats with Yahoo Finance Executive Editor Brian Sozzi about what investors need to know about Warsh and his potential impact on the markets.

“I think that the net takeaway for a regular investor from Warsh is that he is going to he isn’t going to rock the boat. Look, there are concerns that he’s maybe not as big of a fan of QE and that maybe he’s a bit more dovish structurally than Powell was. But at the end of the day, it’s a committee. And yes, Warsh matters, but in my career at least, and guys, correct me if I’m wrong, but I’ve never seen a Fed more divided. I’ve never seen a Fed committee that is more sort of torn on what they need to do.”

Tom Essaye Warns Rally Lacks Confirmation From Key Markets

/in , /by

Tom Essaye says stocks may be moving too fast without support from bonds and oil.

U.S. stocks may be moving past the Iran conflict — but these markets aren’t sending the ‘all clear’ just yet

That could be a sign that investors should think twice before chasing the rally in stocks, said Tom Essaye, publisher of Sevens Report Research, in commentary shared with MarketWatch.

“While we are happy stocks have rebounded, this furious 10-day rally has not been confirmed by other asset classes, most notably Treasury yields and oil prices, and we do think that nonconfirmation should give some stock investors cause for pause,” Essaye said.

“If the oil markets were as confident about a lasting detente between the U.S. and Iran, oil prices would be solidly lower,” Essaye said in written commentary. He also pointed out that the 2-year Treasury yield is still well above its prewar level, signaling that bond traders aren’t as confident that the Fed will cut interest rates later in the year.

“Now, to be clear, this nonconfirmation does not automatically mean that stocks are ‘wrong’ and oil/Treasurys are ‘right.’ Treasury yields could fall sharply in the coming days to confirm the move in stocks and oil could plunge on any announcement of a more permanent ceasefire,” Essaye added.

“However, it does show us that not all traders and strategists are viewing the impacts of the war as being so ‘transitory’ as the move in stocks implies.”
