Could have cited many more plays as they were abundant. Beautiful trading day, with 1:2s and 1:4s all over. Bear market, as usual, works best for us, and October is traditionally our strongest month.
Ahead of the Close Market Snapshot
Mon, 13 Oct 2014 15:46 PM EST
US Indices:
- Dow Jones -1.0%
- S&P500 -0.7%
- Nasdaq -1.1%
- Utilities, Financials, and select Basic Materials sectors are outperforming at the expense of Healthcare and Services. PGN is outperforming in Utilities, while Financials are on deck in the Q3 reporting season with C and JPM reporting Tues AM. CLF is sharply higher on China trade data, while NEM is tracking modestly higher gold prices with a 2% rise. Airlines DAL and UAL are down 6% and 8% respectively as Ebola worries predictably weigh on the travel sector.
Fixed-Income: US bond markets closed for holiday
Energy:
- WTI Nov crude oil $85.58; Front-month contract is off the morning lows after the bears made another run at the $84/brl mark. Diminishing pessimism over China growth in the wake of better than expected imports component of September trade data has sparked some short covering.

- Spot Silver $17.40/oz; Rebound in silver is slightly less pronounced, with last week's high of $17.70 remaining untested.
- Dec Copper $3.05/lb; Copper is up a modest 0.3%, adding to overnight gains that followed impressive China imports. Traders are watching last week's high / Sept low around $3.06.

01[11:34] {@Threei} the panoramic one
01[11:34] {@Threei} The volatility continues this morning in heavy trading volume. More positive and less flattering news has clashed over the Asia and Europeans sessions, with markets jibing in the wake of the strong China September export data, soft German wholesale prices and the first person-to-person Ebola transmission in the US.
[11:35] {ese} yes....you photo shopped the lead singer in if i remember

01[12:51] {@Threei} most of it is just rotation
01[12:52] {@Threei} some of it is pretending tension is off
01[12:57] {@Threei} overall, Putin has so far what he wanted - frozen conflict, instability in Ukraine and nearing winter with his hand on gas spigot
01[12:58] {@Threei} he can afford some pause now, to try and take off the sting of sanctions
