Overnight View of the ES action
Overnight View of the ES action
Since only 300 or so watch Future Trader 71's free morning broadcast I am passing on his observations about the overnight market when it seems meaningful to me.
ES volume was typical at 110,000 contracts. Asian selloff with base building once Europe opened.
Comment by me- don't know if ES 2620 was anyones target for the low but it has a nice head and shoulders sort of shape to it.
Don't forget m,y charts show Mountain Standard time so add 2 hours for Eastern.

https://www.bloomberg.com//news/article ... -reshuffle

With companies including Google parent Alphabet Inc., Facebook Inc., Comcast Corp. and Walt Disney Co. poised to join communications, ETFs focusing on consumer discretionary and tech industries may be forced to sell about one-fifth of their holdings to mimic the changes. Some funds such as SPDR S&P Internet ETF may have to overhaul their methodology because the sub-index it tracks will no longer exist, according to Lin.

Could have an effect on volume today. They are evacuating Bel Aire this morning as the fires move into the west side of LA. Lots of money management firms in nearby Century City and Santa Monica.

If these fires burn up Bel Aire and the nearby very pricy areas this could possibly be the coup de gras for some property insurance firms? :o

More on tech:

KIE:XLF is at a 20day low area.. but the ratio is actually up on the day.

Point of fact: property insurance firms don't experience a sudden "coup de gras". They cap at a certain level, and pass the rest on to re-insurers. These "re-insurance" companies are huge pools of last-ditch reserve capital. If any one of these entities fails it takes down the whole system with it.

But until that happens the front line companies have much shock-absorption.

And much of this is probably already priced in for the ratio to already be in a 20day low region... but if one is serious about deep-diving into the sub-sector, it would be best to carefully track several key re-insurers, looking for technical chart warnings.

Daniel, thanks for that. All I know about is Uncle Warren has made a bundle with General RE . All I am thinking is hurricane losses are huge, NorCal fire losses also large , now if they lose a bunch of movie star houses in the hills above LA this could be the worst year in a decade or more for somebody. Not trying to play it until we see what happens. BUT as all these claims get paid out somebody somewhere has to be liquidating "safe" securities to cover those checks.Or as others say higher time frame investors selling.

I don't see why copper is in with the materials group. It belongs with the bonds or gold as the Chinese market has turned it into a financial asset.

whenever the bears decide to cover (when higher lows take over the landscape), they have a history of monster squeezing
