The SPX retreated back to the bear trend line, I would expect Wednesday to rally somewhat. If we end with conviction down through the bear trend line, the market is looking bearish and the bull is finally dying. See chart below.
The BIG news that was of course, not mentioned almost anywhere, is China is considering reneging on commodity derivative contracts! Large US corporations like Goldman Sachs sold derivative contracts to China, and I am sure was counting on the payoff......which now may not come. This is yet another reason why all derivative markets must be formalized into an internationally agreed construct. This may rock the commodities markets as this unfolds, and yet another reason why I am not advising purchasing commodities currently.
