Technical Analysis

Metals and commodities plays have rallied nicely but show signs of a tactical exhaustive top and somewhat crowded positioning. A shakeout is in store as the USD finds a foot but is already in rally mode to a larger degree in Asia and bottoming in EM.WTI and platinum have broken key wedge supports and copper will pullback to macro trendline support.A risk off cycle combined with a USD bounce would inflect metals.

A number of charts are beginning to show some concerns that draw attention to the annual mantra: ‘Sell in May and Go Away’We look at different measures and patterns on each of the three major US indices – Dow Jones, S&amp;P 500, and Nasdaq 100.In all cases there are important indications that a decent correction down is likely this month (and possibly beyond). This period should eventually result in buying opportunities, however first we are likely to see some pain.

Upside momentum has improved but is now facing resistance at 1,860/72.Touted bull flag did clear 1,780 and did adhere to the expected rally sequence.

United States

Gold is a chemical element with the symbol Au (from Latin: aurum) and the atomic number 79. In its purest form, it is a bright, slightly reddish yellow, dense, soft, malleable and ductile metal. Chemically, gold is a transition metal and a group 11 element. It is one of the least reactive chemical elements, and is solid under standard conditions. The metal therefore occurs often in free elemental (native) form, as nuggets or grains, in rocks, in veins and in alluvial deposits. It occurs in a solid solution series with the native element silver (as electrum) and also naturally alloyed with copper and palladium. Less commonly, it occurs in minerals as gold compounds, often with tellurium (gold tellurides).
