Nvidia shares jump after resuming H20 sales in China, announcing new processor
Last week’s review of the macro market indicators suggested, as the calendar turned to November that the equity markets were looking higher. Elsewhere looked for Gold to continue lower while Crude Oil consolidated, watching for a reversal. The US Dollar Index looked to continue higher to new multi-year highs while US Treasuries were biased lower in consolidation. The Shanghai Composite and Emerging Markets were biased to the upside with China looking very strong. Volatility looked to remain subdued after the pullback keeping the bias higher for the equity index ETF’s SPDR S&P 500 (ARCA:SPY), iShares Russell 2000 Index (ARCA:IWM) and PowerShares QQQ (NASDAQ:QQQ). Their charts showed great strength on the weekly timeframe with some potential exhaustion signals in the short run.
The week played out with Gold pushing lower before a bounce Friday while Crude Oil started lower but held and bounced back to finish the week steady again. The US Dollar took another leg higher while Treasuries may be coming in for a landing. The Shanghai Composite consolidated sideways this week while Emerging Markets pulled back mildly. Volatility continued to drift lower back to its pre-spike range. Against this backdrop the Equity Index ETF’s moved in place over the week with the exception of the SPY which drifted higher. What does this mean for the coming week? Lets look at some charts.
