Trading is risky. You can lose all the money you put into a trade or investment. Be skeptical before you make any and every trade. Be skeptical of all writing, news and anything claiming to be information.

No macro headlines

I need to update my news sources. I can’t identify why the market continues to rise today and rose yesterday. So no immediate macro and geopolitical news moving markets. But I do see company news making headlines – positive surprises or bullish reinforcement is what I surmise from here.

Over the weekend, however, I did hear more and more about a potential ceasefire in the Middle East. The reaction seems muted: so maybe institutional exposure is sufficiently low on a net basis? Perhaps lesser QT and stock buy back potential is providing some support. South-east Europe is also looking to court China.

Eurozone bluechips are towards the top of their trading range, with relative strength in the mid-50s trending higher. Chart wise, this looks more like a corrective wave.

The payment is for the small amount of time I spend to write my notes here. It is also - critically - an explicit acknowledgement by you that you have read and understand the 4 points below.

  1. I am not providing you with investment advice. Do your research and make your own decisions.
  2. I am not encouraging you to, nor asking you to trade.
  3. You will see at most two sentences that tell you what I am targeting, and why I have chosen this target range.
  4. You will likely be disappointed with what you read when you pay and consider your money wasted.
