Trading commodity futures and options involves substantial risk of loss and is not suitable for all investors. You should carefully consider whether trading is suitable for you in light of your circumstances, knowledge and financial resources.

FINANCIALS: 5/16/12 CAPACITY UTILIZATION. HOUSING STARTS & PERMITS. INDUSTRIAL PRODUCTION. Higher closes yesterday for the treasury bonds, unchanged for the eurodollars while lower for treasury note futures covering the entire spectrum. The t-notes and t-bonds continue to look very bullish overall but the notes made a DOUBLE TOP before settling lower while the bonds made another new CONTRACT HIGH AND CLOSE. The financials rally, in my opinion, should be attributed to how little faith Europe and the rest of the world have for the Grecian government along with Portugal’s and Spain’s financial struggles among others. Human nature always seems to get in the way when we need to do the right thing. The eurodollars settled unchanged and you should be watching 9948 and 9945 along with beeing range-bound starting in late January with the 9945 area critical to hold. Meanwhile, I’m standing aside until I see a close below 9945 or above 9960 for the June contract.
