LS Trader spread trading weekly update

This week’s LS Trader financial spread trading update is now available and can be read by clicking here.

Last week was a relatively light volume week for the stock markets as expected due to the holiday in the US. This week will likely see a return by traders to their trading desks and should lead to a considerable increase in volume. The week ahead is likely to give us a better idea of short term action for the stock markets than we got from last week in spite of the impressive rally.

LS Trader Financial Spread Betting Update For June 28 2010

This week’s LS Trader financial spread betting update is now available and can be read by clicking here.

For a change, the markets have had a quiet start to the week and there have been no major announcements out over the weekend and nothing too major happening in the Asian markets, which are several hours ahead of ours. This suggests that we will possibly see a continuation of the trends from last week during the early part of the week, especially once the US markets open this afternoon.

Gold Reverses From New All Time High

Continuing our series of recent posts on Gold and how to spread bet gold, we saw a new all time high intra-day yesterday at $1266.50 (August contract). However, the market was unable to hold on to those highs and sold off for the rest of the day, forming a bearish engulfing pattern. As the name suggests, this is a bearish pattern and a reversal signal. However, it may not yet be the end of the uptrend.

Financial Spread Betting Update: Gold Set For $1335?

Continuing our recent posts on gold and how to spread bet gold, we look at what's been happening in the August Gold contract. After a few failed attempts at resistance around $1250, Gold has finally broken through to new all time highs and has been able to close above prior all time highs for the first time since new highs were posted back on the 12th May. This carried more significance as the close above resistance was Friday’s close, and Friday’s close is the most important close of the week. Ideally we look for another close on Monday above this level for further bullish confirmation.
