Bullish mood without doubt


Hi,

US stock markets are in very positive bias. They are attacking important psychological levels.

NASDAQ did it first and touched 2000 points. SP500 finished only few points below 1000 pts.

I think they will try to touch these levels once again. Sentiment is bullish and investors are in buying mode during this earnings season. There are not any serious selloffs and all important sectors are in good shape on their charts.

I noticed that a lot of analytics mentioned connection between stock markets and economy. They are telling that stock markets are leading indicator and that means that economy is already positioned for recovery.

Maybe. But I am cautious. I do not accept such argument when thinking about economy. World is in totally different situation then 1 or 2 years ago. There is not strong demand prepared to buy out economies from the troubles.

US consumer is not is good situation. It has debt which should be paid. He will not save world economies by new buying.

And Asia? Asian consumers are not accustomed to big spending. They prefer to save most of their money. So they will not save world trade right now. They have to learn about their wealth first.

So I do not expect that demand will be strong. Unemployment will be high and saving will rise, especially in developed countries.

And it will show in earnings and sales of companies around the world. A lot of bulls could be surprised by results of 3rd quarter.

Happy trading,

 International ETF
 

International ETFs represent good opportunity for trading and investment in current globalised economy. There are some economies going up and some going down every time.

Crude oil price is rising again? Does it mean that global demand is picking up? I am not sure. US consumer is under pressure of his own debt and any rise in price of crude oil will lower his spending ability. And Asian economies (especially China) are doing their best to secure low price for crude by already signed long term contracts.

I see any rise into resistance level above 72 USD as opportunity how to open mid-term sell short trade with crude in my fund.
