FTSE, DAX, DOW Trading Ideas and discussions

11150 ish stopped that minor downtrend
now what
2080 was the breakout on spx..that seemed to hold on pullback
 
DAX skirting PP imo @ 11139.

Marked your magnetic line in green.

BB narrowing. Setting up for a bounce up I reckon. 11300 looking like hot pooh to me. If I was a fly I'd buzz over there pronto. (y)

Will wait for US open and numbers.

Wet here, we've had a brief summer shower. Cool after the dry heat yesterday. Idling along.

nfp numbers...does that mean a rate rise sooner ??
no wage growth ??

Weak numbers.

Much later rather than sooner imo.

Slow numbers and not much wage growth.

Quality of jobs also questionable.


I concur with Mr Faber, they'll come up with some feeble excuse not to raise it.
 
Never knew I was speaking - thanks for letting me know. FYI, I'll be rewarding the markets as I always do. May say something to the effect of more QE

I think 11200 is having a breather and about to test support down to PP.

I still hold the view 11300 - R1 needs to be tested.

Opportunity to go long coming up. Fingers on the trigger (y)
 
Comment:
While this was not a fundamentally 'weak' jobs report, it has enough points of weakness for markets to push back a little on "lift-off" expectations, allow the belly of the UST curve to outperform while keeping the 10yr yield in its 2.25/2.50% trading range, and to reverse some of the recent bounce in the USD. Headline Payrolls were broadly in line with forecasts, and still slightly above the 208K 6-month average. Interestingly, even peculiarly, the net 60K 2 month downward revision to April & May was heavily predicated by govt Jobs (revised down net 31K).

The fall in the Unemployment Rate to a new cyclical low of 5.3% of was the "wrong sort" of fall, in other words due to a 432K fall in the labour force, which also saw the Underemployment Rate fall to 10.5% from 10.8%, and rather more ominously seeing the Labor Force Participation Rate fall to 62.6% - the lowest level since 1977.

As for Average Earnings, a flat reading m/m and a downward revision to 0.2% from 0.l3% for May, saw the y/y rate decelerate quite sharply to 2.0%, though there is the oft cited problem of an extra working day for June. Be that as it may, there is no evidence of any wage pressures.
