10am update – opening gains

US equities open a little higher. VIX 18s.  Gold printed $2060, with Silver $26s, helped by the weaker dollar.

Summary

I remain more focused on the daily SPX and VIX cycles… both are due a ‘snap’. Further, I’d keep in mind all of yesterday’s black and bearish engulfing daily candles. Indexes should turn red today.


notable stock: DAL

Earnings were arguably mixed, and whilst Delta’s outlook was positive, I’m largely dismissive of it. American Airlines outlook sure wasn’t great yesterday.  The valuation – FPE 30, is ludicrous, and should be 10 or lower in a recession.

notable Dow component: MSFT

A very key stock to watch… even if you never trade it.

notable gold ETF: GLD

A new cycle high. Any price action >$2100 would make for a new hist’ high, and offer a run to 2400/2500, as now seems probable this summer.

notable miner: GOLD

Barrick higher with gold printing $2060
We’ve another black candle from around what is rather powerful resistance.
