Forecast to open at 5550 in 5 hours.
Being dragged up by the SP and FTSE.
Divs start coming out next week, cant see the brokers giving them away at cheaper prices.
So long today at higher prices than yesterday and in the land of platypus..

DOD- US etf price from yesterday
DWTI - Some 5hit from canada price from yesterday
SWM - media in australia
This is how I survived May and June. Just stare at the previous prices all weekend....pretty sure you'll take a cold shower to ease excitement.
With that I conclude the ASX has a strong upside....ultimately everything will fall but it's going to go up before it falls

If you don't know what trades you will place 30 minutes prior to open....best you figure out a way to figure it out or trade in less frequencies. You don't want to work to gain back money you lost, worst feeling ever

Can't wait till the commodity price war begins. Once these 5hitty gold certificates get exposed (with the help of the U.S. government which will make it happen)....gold prices will sky rocket due to the complete blockade of the shanghai metals exchange. The chinese being complete idiots will continue to buy and the russians will drive oil to levels that will bankrupt them, canada, middle east and any other idiot country that depends on this 5hit commodity.

The S&P 500 a new all-time high, AUD remains a buy
The Australian equity market will open on the front foot today, with leads from US stocks constructive. Oil has been at the heart of the move, helping high yield credit spreads to narrow relative to US treasuries and put real backbone behind the feel good factor.
The leads are upbeat today with the S&P 500, Nasdaq 100 and Dow Jones index all closing at record highs. A fate not seen since 1999.
The S&P energy sub-sector 1+3%, consumer discretionary +1%, with 77% of S&P 500 companies higher on the session.
Oil once again the big mover, with US crude up 4% from the ASX 200 close on comments from the Saudi oil minister promoting a belief of constructive talks at the September OPEC meeting.
The USD gained 0.2%, with GBP and JPY the underperformer. AUD/USD traded in a range of $0.7724 to $0.7692.
GBP/AUD is currently A$1.6827, although the session low was A$1.6754! It seems like a good time to take advantage of the London heatwave (it will be 26 degrees tomorrow in London – a ‘heatwave’).
SPI futures pushed 0.6% higher at 5498. We are calling the ASX 200 at 5550, with BHP and CBA likely to open 1.1% higher respectively given moves in their ADR.
Energy stocks likely to see good upside on open, while financials are, as always, key for the broader market. The playbook on the banks is to buy a break of the August double top of 6182 and short a break of the August low of 5994.
Iron ore -2.1% and copper 0.5%.
All eyes on China July data dump at 12:00 aest, with industrial production (consensus 6.2%), retail sales (+10.5%) and fixed asset investment (+8.9%).
ASX 200 corporate earnings focus solely on JHX.
The interesting phenomenon is that while we have seen higher oil and a modest sell-off in fixed income we have actually seen US inflation expectations falling. That will not please the Federal Reserve, who focus very closely on market-based measures of inflation (through the bond market). It’s interesting to see that the move higher in equities, amid comments from San Francisco Fed president that it’s still appropriate to hike rates this year resulted in the probability of a hike at the December meeting increasing to exactly 50:50. It is clear the September meeting is ‘live’ in the sense they could lay a foundation for a move in December.
There is also a view that the market is pricing in a clear win by Hillary Clinton and a Democratic Congress. While Trump’s comments about President Obama and appealing to gun owners have been front page news the real issue is that his economic policies have many question marks. Cutting the corporate tax rate to 15% and lowering the top personal tax bracket to 25% is great for those who believe in ‘trickle down’ economics (ie. make the rich richer and hope it filters down to the lower earners), but it will require lost revenue to be made up in other areas. Clinton’s policy of going after the rich is probably the bigger vote winner.
Locally, we will need to see a close below 5495 to print a third consecutive week of losses – a fate we see at a 5% probability. The ASX financial sector is key behind the broader index move though and while I am neutral on the sector if we look at the daily chart of the ASX financial sector one can turn more bullish on the sector (as a short-term trade) when we see a move through the August highs of 6182. Iron ore has pulled back 2.1%, and there are signs that the good times could be behind FMG, at least in the short-term. A move above $4.71 would negate this view, while a break below the January 2016 uptrend would be a red flag. Any moves through $4.00 would certainly encourage higher short interest – one for the radar.
The AUD is still attractive in this low volatility environment, specifically against the EUR, GBP and to lesser extent JPY. AUD/USD is a slow grind higher at present and the overnight range was non-existing. All eyes on today will be on the China data dump, although FX traders are not as sensitive to China data as it once was. That could change soon, but for now as long as volatility is low, then traders will gravitate to long AUD positions.
