All Star Charts Gold Rush

Gold Bugs Lose Support

October 2, 2023

From the Desk of Ian Culley @IanCulley

Precious metals no longer deserve the benefit of the doubt.

They no longer represent an opportunity cost, either.

No, gold and crew carry downside risk – nothing else!

What changed since last week? 

Gold futures undercut a critical level of interest…

That’s the former commodity supercycle peak marked by the 2011 high.

Bottom-Fishing for Wheat

September 29, 2023

From the Desk of Ian Culley @IanCulley

I need to set the record straight.

Earlier in spring, I wrote a note highlighting wheat’s tendency to lead crude oil at key inflection points.  

While this statement is mostly true, it needs clarification.

Chicago wheat does have a tendency to lead crude oil at significant market tops. But crude leads at critical troughs.

Check out the crude oil overlaid with Chicago wheat futures:

Notice crude bottomed in Q1 of  2009, 2016, and earlier this year. Chicago wheat followed roughly six to nine months later, marking critical turning points in late Q3 of 2009 and 2016.

Will wheat do the same in 2023?

International Hall of Famers (09-29-2023)

September 29, 2023

From the desk of Steve Strazza @Sstrazza

Our International Hall of Famers list is composed of the 100 largest US-listed international stocks, or ADRs.

We've also sprinkled in some of the largest ADRs from countries that did not make the market cap cut. 

These stocks range from some well-known mega-cap multinationals such as Toyota Motor and Royal Dutch Shell to some large-cap global disruptors such as Sea Ltd and Shopify.

It's got all the big names and more–but only those that are based outside the US. You can find all the largest US stocks on our original Hall of Famers list.

The beauty of these scans is really in their simplicity.

We take the largest names each week and then apply technical filters in a way that the strongest stocks with the most momentum rise to the top.

Based on the market environment, we can also flip the scan on its head and filter for weakness.

Let's dive in and take a look at some of the most important stocks from around the world.

Here's this week's list:

[Options Premium] Have Bonds Bottomed?

September 29, 2023

Yesterday's trading action in $TLT, the 20-year treasury bond ETF, gives me confidence that it might have been a near-term low.

I'm making the bet that it'll hold for at least a few weeks. And the elevated options premiums here give us ample ammunition to wait it out.
