The wreckage was significant this week mainly stemming from Mondays insane washout. Markets did show some promise and ability to bounce upwards though recovering a good portion of the early losses on the week to where markets in essence finished basically flat on the week overall. The intense volatility provided a ton of opportunity for us however as we were able to capitalize on violent moves both upwards and downwards. The markets are incredibly volatile and are hanging on to every word about trade, rate cuts, and now the Chinese Yuan value. Every evening at about 9:15 est the PBOC will come out and “fix” the Yuan to a value against the US dollar. This is significant because this week the PBOC has slowly but surely devalued their currency. This helps with Chinese exports and to offset the additional tariffs from the U.S. recently. It’s a massive whirlpool out there where the only thing that has been consistent is instability.

Markets started to really feel the chill of winter approaching. The Fed cut rates by 25 BPS which wasn’t a surprise, and they then turned a bit hawkish just as I had anticipated. The markets cracked almost a full 2%, but then completely retraced and made up the gains the next day, until Trump came out and initiated an additional 10% tariffs on $300 billion worth of chinese goods. Markets completely gave up and cracked below the levels that they initially bounced from. I anticipate some sharp come backs at the U.S. from China in regard to trade.

Be sure to watch my video lesson WINTER IS COMING if you haven’t yet, it shines light as to why the China trade war and these events are really not even the core problem at hand.

HUGE WEEK for markets! Interest rate decision will be Wednesday at 2pm est. China and US trade talks on Monday. Massive potential for volatility. STAY TUNED FOR MY VIDEO LESSON COMING SHORTLY.

Chop would be the word I would use to best describe the action we saw alst week. This market is so susceptible to any political, or economic news. The market made new all-time highs this past week, entirely off the news that interest rates are set to be cut. Initially the anticiaption was that rates would be cut .25%, but now we are already starting to factor in the potential for a .5% rate cute, which in my opinion is truly absurd. The rate cute is set to happen next week, so we have a while to wait for that. Everything is chopping hard here at all-time highs, but this past week was a bearish “outside week” for indexes and it does have me a bit concerned and even bearish especially with some conflict going on with Iran currently. I anticipate overall a red week from markets just simply based on those two factors but there will be so much more that develops day to day. Like I said our markets are literally turning on a dime right now on any ounce of news they can get their hands on.
