Dear Members,
Friday, 15 Jan 2010 is solar eclipse. Path of eclipse will be from Asia to middle and east Africa. Major negative impact or news will come out from these counties. China and India is paying a key role in today’s economy and financial market and eclipse path is passing through both of these countries is really a concern point. I warn commodity and stock market investors to remain watchful as any negative news from China can bring Tsunami in financial markets.
We are expecting huge up move in 30 years bond, and rebound in grains from tomorrow.
15 Jan eclipse says: Stock markets are at very important juncture, and they should fall sharply from here. We will watch stock market trend very carefully next three trading session. We believe that fall can start so please trade with stop-loss and puts because both these minimize risk and loses.
Currencies will start moving down from tomorrow, so we will hold dollar position tightly.
As we mentioned in this week newsletter that metals would remain positive on Wednesday and Thursday, better you take sell position either middle of day or tomorrow on opening. No positive news for all metals from Friday evening, avoid precious and base metals, also one should get out from metal stocks by tomorrow.
Oil will trade side but Natural gas will move down sharply from here.
