This is Capital Essence’s “Market Outlook” (the technical analysis of financial markets) for Wednesday May 21, 2008. Stocks stumble out of gate Tuesday with the Dow losing nearly 200 points. As a matter of fact, today trading action is very consistent to the bearish “turnaround Tuesday” scenario that we’ve offered right here in the previous Market Outlook. Contributed to the overall weaknesses were another record high energy prices, bearish news on financial stocks and a higher than expected core inflation reading. U.S. light crude oil rose $2.26 to settle at a record $128.98 after hitting a new intra-day trading record of $129.10 a barrel earlier in the session. Chart 1.1 – Light sweet crude oil index (daily). In fact, today’s trading ...

For more information about subscribing to CEM News, please click here. Good Morning. This is Capital Essence’s “Market Outlook” (the technical analysis of financial markets) for Tuesday May 20, 2008. We’ve noted right here in the previous Market Outlook that: “ it seems to us that the eight-week recovery rally is now getting heavy. However, unless there is a headline that everyone recognizes as extremely bearish, there is a pretty good chance that this bear-market rally will continue to go on for awhile longer .” Stocks opened on a positive note Monday with the S&P 500 hit a five-month high amid a stronger-than-expected economic indicators report. The market, however, struggled in the afternoon on record commodity prices. With regard to commodities, U.S. light crude oil for June delivery rose 76 cents to settle at a record ...

Stocks finished around the unchanged mark Friday. Though do not let the flat tape fool you, Friday trading action was pretty bullish considering that the S&P 500 ending Friday session at a more than 4-month high – the board market index up in four out of five trading sessions last week in a face of a record high energy prices. U.S. light crude oil rallied $2.19 to close at $126.04 a barrel, after hitting an all-time intraday high of $127.30 earlier. Chart 1.1 – Light sweet crude oil index (daily). Technically speaking, today’s bullish breakout above the one-week consolidation pattern had confirmed the validity of the “test of an ...
