GOLD and Silver Futures OUTLOOK for the week of Oct. 28, 2024Coming into this week we can see both Gold and Silver are trading away from bullish imbalances, also forming SMT's off those imbalances. We also see that both commodities have CISD's coming off the same lows. In my opinion Gold is showing relative strength, given the fact that it has a failure swing at the lows, while the contrary for Silver. My focus will be towards gold being the stronger pair to long in this scenario. Looking forward to a productive week. Bless.

Weekly Recap & Market Forecast $SPX (Aug 4th—> Aug 9th)Hello Investors! 🌟 This week saw volatility surge to levels not seen in over a year, with UST yields sliding to their lowest in months. Renewed concerns about wider conflict in the Middle East, coupled with fears of a rapidly decelerating US economy potentially leading to a recession, resulted in a forced recalibration in the markets. Let's delve into the key events that shaped this volatile week. 📈 **Market Overview:** Volatility spiked dramatically as geopolitical tensions and economic concerns dominated headlines. Renewed fears about a broader conflict in the Middle East and the possibility of a more severe recession in the US led to significant market movements. The FOMC held rates steady, disappointing those hoping for a rate cut. Chairman Powell's focus on employment risks suggested that the committee is nearing a time to reduce restrictiveness, but his message didn't align with the rapidly declining labor indicators. The week ended with a weak July employment report, following a disappointing ISM manufacturing report that spooked markets on Thursday, resulting in risk-off flows and a more dovish outlook towards the Jackson Hole Symposium. **Stock Market Performance:** - 📉 S&P 500: Down by 2% - 📉 Dow Jones: Down by 2.1% - 📉 NASDAQ: Down by 3.4% **Economic Indicators:** US Treasury yields dropped amid a slew of softer economic readings, with the yield curve steepening significantly: - **2-10 Year Spread:** Rose above -10 bps as futures markets and investment houses now foresee a 50 basis point Fed rate cut in September and potentially more than 100 bps in cuts by the end of 2024. - **JOLTS Job Openings:** Showed the ratio of job openings to unemployed workers has fallen back to pre-pandemic levels. - **ADP Employment Data:** Missed estimates, with annual pay growth slowing to its lowest level in years. - **Weekly Initial Jobless Claims:** Hit a 1-year high at 249K. - **ISM Manufacturing:** Missed estimates across the board, with the employment component registering its weakest reading since June 2020. - **July Employment Report:** Payrolls, hours worked, and wages all missed estimates, with unemployment rising to 4.3%, triggering the Sahm recession indicator for the first time since the pandemic. **Commodity Prices:** - **Crude Prices:** Rose early in the week due to escalating tensions between Israel and Iran but sold off later on rising recession fears. - **Gold Prices:** Climbed ~10% through Thursday due to a weaker US dollar but fell sharply after the Friday employment report. - **Bitcoin:** Also sold off sharply after the employment report. **Corporate News:** - **AI and Consumer Spending:** The themes of AI investment and weakening consumer spending dominated earnings reports. - **Nvidia:** Criticized by Elliott Management, suggesting AI is overhyped and in a bubble. - **Arm Holdings and Intel:** Reinforced concerns with Arm guiding lower and Intel announcing a fresh turnaround plan after poor results. - **Apple and Meta:** Reported better quarterly results, affirming significant capex growth for AI in the coming year. - **Consumer Sector:** - **McDonald’s:** Missed earnings and reported negative same-store sales, highlighting competition for value meals and deal-seeking consumers. - **Amazon:** Echoed similar sentiments about deal-seeking consumers, with capex increases tied to AI spending. - **Procter & Gamble:** Reported mixed results, noting market challenges expected to persist until the second half of next year, particularly in China.

Weekly Recap & Market Forecast $SPX (July 28th —>Aug 2nd)**DIYWallST Weekly Recap & Market Forecast** --- Hello Investors! 🌟 This week was marked by significant economic and political developments, driving volatility in global stock markets. Let’s dive into the key events that shaped the financial landscape. 📈 **Market Overview:** The week began with a surprise rate cut by China’s PBOC, but this was quickly overshadowed by President Biden’s announcement that he was dropping out of the race. The Democratic Party swiftly rallied around Kamala Harris, with endorsements pouring in from state governors and, ultimately, the Obamas. By the end of the week, Harris appeared to have secured the nomination. The political developments contributed to a 'Trump-trade' sentiment, with small-cap value stocks continuing to outperform mega-cap technology shares. The cool June CPI and subsequent soft data points have also fueled expectations of Fed rate cuts later this year, underpinning this market rotation. The US yield curve steepened notably, with the 2-10 year spread popping above -15 bps, while the VIX rose sharply through Thursday. A letter from former NY Fed President Dudley may have increased investors’ expectations for a Fed rate cut. The Bank of Canada cut rates for the second straight meeting, while global PMI readings indicated some softening, particularly outside the services sector. Pulte’s home orders fell short of analyst expectations, and June existing home sales missed targets despite rising supply levels. Richmond Fed data was weak, and several major industrial and chemical companies cut their outlooks. June PCE data indicated “further progress” for the Fed, echoing concerns about discretionary spending and a softening consumer pushing back against price hikes. **Stock Market Performance:** - 📉 S&P 500: Down by 0.8% - 📈 Dow Jones: Up by 0.8% - 📉 NASDAQ: Down by 2.1% - 📈 Russell 2000: Up by 3.3% **Economic Indicators:** - **US Yield Curve:** Steepened significantly with the 2-10 year spread popping above -15 bps. - **June Existing Home Sales:** Missed expectations despite rising supply levels. - **Richmond Fed Data:** Indicated economic weakness. - **June PCE Data:** Showed progress in cooling inflation. - **Bitcoin Prices:** Climbed ~5% ahead of Former President Trump’s appearance at a crypto conference. - **Dollar and Yen:** The dollar remained steady, while the Yen rose amid speculation of a potential BOJ rate hike. **Corporate News:** - **Google and Tesla:** Earnings reports did little to curtail volatility. Tesla missed estimates and Google’s YouTube ad revenues fell short, leading to a decline in AI enthusiasm as Google's AI monetization efforts didn't meet investor expectations. - **Ford Motor:** Shares tumbled after a significant earnings miss, with the company continuing to lose money on each EV it produces. - **3M:** Shares surged after posting a big earnings beat, despite noting softness in consumer discretionary demand and mixed industrial end markets. **Looking Ahead:** Next week will feature several key events: - **Fed Rate Decision** - **Powell Press Conference** - **U.S. Jobs Report** - **Earnings Reports:** Microsoft ( NASDAQ:MSFT ), Apple ( NASDAQ:AAPL ), Meta ( NASDAQ:META ), Amazon ( NASDAQ:AMZN ), Intel ( NASDAQ:INTC ), ExxonMobil ( NYSE:XOM ), Chevron ( NYSE:CVX ), Boeing ( NYSE:BA ), and McDonald's ( NYSE:MCD ). As we look forward, these developments will be crucial in shaping market sentiment and guiding investment decisions. If you have any questions or need further insights, feel free to reach out. Here’s to another week of informed investing and strategic decision-making! 🌟 ### **Market Forecast (Updated 07/28/2024)** **SPX** - TSLA reported poorly on their earnings + weak guidance from GOOGL drove the market down. Money continued to Rotate into Small Caps from tech sector last week. With FOMC this week, we could potentially see a bottom in the market by Friday as we are pretty oversold at this point. Next resistance $5505 and $5653 Next support $5423 and 5285 Weekly Sentiment = Oversold **Chart Analysis:** () **Dollar Index:** DXY-Currently, the market is looking at 2-3 rate cuts by the end of the year, But we should get a clear picture from FOMC chair this week on exactly what they are thinking. JPY is also starting to gain strength, Both of these things could weaken the DXY. Next resistance $104.78 Support $104 Sentiment = Crossover to downside **Put to call Ratio: 1.15—> 1.28 Next FOMC date: July 31, 2024** **Fear & Greed Index: 49—>45** ! (prod-files-secure.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com) **BTC:** Crypto market has been pretty strong and testing resistance, Trump spoke very highly of crypto as well but he also flip-flops a lot. The key thing to watch here is the Dollar index, if that continues to drop, we could see btc test new highs. However, we have a huge trendline at 68k and if we can break over it, it could start a bigger bull run as well. Google our "DIYWALLST 2024 Crypto Forecast" for our favorite alt coins.

US Markets May Rally 60% to 100% On Strong Technical DataI posted a similar video yesterday, but it was taken down because I screwed up the content. So, I'll try to post this video without messing up the content. The US markets (particularly the NAS100 - as shown in this video) will likely continue to move in a strong bullish price trend - even against the multiple divergences and other technical peak/exhaustion patterns over the next 3 to 4+ years. Far too many people simply don't understand the dynamics at play right now, with the superheated US economy and the predatory Fed processes creating this parabolic Bullish price move. Be prepared. Many people will be picking tops for the next 3~4+ years, and you are going to hear a lot of FEAR in their voices. You must attempt to understand the true market dynamics at play and stay away from group-think. Hope you enjoy this video.
