Observations U.S. equity indices bounced back at approximately 1:00 PM EST on a media report quoting a U.S. trade official that additional tariffs on Chinese goods are “on hold”. Look for additional follow through by the Shanghai Composite Index in overnight trading. A move by the Shanghai Composite Index above 2,676 will complete a short term base building pattern including a move above its 50 day moving average. Base metal prices/stocks and related ETFs responded strongest to the news. StockTwits released yesterday @EquityClock Technical action by S&P 500 stocks to 10:00: Bearish. No intermediate breakouts.

Tech Talk thanked Greg for his timely comments and offered the following insight: Hi Greg. Interesting charts on gold and gold stocks in your latest comment.! When I looked at the charts, they looked vaguely familiar with charts on another commodity: copper. Spot price moved above $2.75 today, moving above its 50 day moving average. Base building pattern in recent weeks is similar to gold. Seasonal influences are just turning positive. Copper stocks and related ETFs also are showing early positive technical signs. The trigger is U.S. negotiations with China. If successful, copper will soar. Cheers!
