Economic Calendar & Watch Lists 5/19/2016

 

Morning Notes

US Futures are slightly lower this morning while European stocks also trade lower by nearly -1% after yesterday’s sharp move lower in result of the FOMC minutes which suggested a rate hike in June. As probability increases of a June rate hike, the dollar strengthened which undercut crude and gold prices into late day trading. Asian stocks closed mostly lower.

 

Technicals

The SPY sold off in yesterday’s session on increased volume and closed back below the recent support pivot at $205.25. Support will lie at the low of yesterday’s range at $203.63, followed by $203.09, and $202.40. Resistance will first lie at the resistance pivot at $205.25, followed by the 50 day SMA at $205.73, and then the high of yesterday’s range at $206.30.

$NSM – Long entry is over 12.50, stop 12.00. Room to 13.05 and then 13.50 near the 200 EMA.

$DPM– Short entry is under 32.50, stop 33.25. Room here is to 30 in a short time. I don’t normally trade oil names, but the chart is setup for a short under the 20EMA.
