The NASDAQ set a new high yesterday and the S&P and the DJIA are set to open to new highs this morning but be careful the market has shown its hand twice this year and is easily spooked by news events.

- Dow 30 – Currently at 21,012
- Nasdaq – Currently at 5,754
- S&P VIX – Curently 11.93

Commodities:
- Silver – 17.215 – currently neutral, might be a good long-term investment if you are wllling to wait.
- Gold – 1255 – still hittings its head against resistance at $1,265, like silver if you can be patient it should pay off in the long-term.
- Natural Gas – 3.344 – hitting its head on $3.335 resistance again with a nice rise this morning.
- Crude Oil currently $50.66– rose to above $52 and then when the good news at OPEC came out investors took their profits and ran!

Tackle 25
Most traders look for trade setups using the same stocks over and over. The list below has been screened for cash-flow optimization across a broad collection of sectors. Below is how they performed yesterday.
Dynamic Yield Curve
The dynamic yield curve chart shows the relationship between interest rates and stocks over time. When I see the market hit new highs I make it a point to check the relationship 0f short term interest rates to long term interest rates. It is currently normal (see below) however, if the yield curve is inverted it could be a sign that in the near future stocks are due for a correction (we have been in a bull market since 2009, and we are historically overdue for a correction).
Trading Thoughts
Bitcoin is too hot to touch at the moment, wait for a dip, comodities are out of favor right now but make good long-term investments. Stocks are set to open to record highs this morning.
Market Bias – I am feeling bullish +1 to +2 this morning. The NASDAQ set a new high yesterday and the S&P and the DJIA are set to open to new highs this morning but be careful the market has shown its hand twice this year and is easily spooked by news events.
More Bearish Neutral More Bullish
-3 -2 -1 0 +1 +2 +3

Thanks for mentioning the Dynamic Yield Curve. I like to check that periodically as well.
I’m going to plan on putting that on the morning market report once a week especially as since this bull market continues to go into overtime
