Oct-Nov Rotations: Core Mkt = Wheat, Featured Mkt = Crude.
Signals: WZ = Sell 11/22 (TSP= waiting), CLZ= Buy 10/28 (TSP= 46.86).
Model notes: The wheat model gave a sell. The models have been calling the grain market well this cycle. The latest trade on the crude market is looking better after going underwater for a couple of weeks, but the latest action has the trade going positive. This is very encouraging and continues to show the value of nonlinear analysis. We are back on track to feature (for the first time) some nonlinear portfolio construction samples. Exciting stuff!
Note: ALL Mummy calculations use the TSP (Theoretical Signal Price)! The TSP metric is calculated by using the ‘close’ price of the trading day FOLLOWING the signal day (giving you plenty of time to take the signal).
Note: The following comments are based on using technical analysis to ‘flesh out’ our nonlinear trading signals.
Nonlinear Trading Themes:
Wheat Trading Signals (Core). Wheat popped after the models went neutral, but now the models are returning to a bearish view. $390 seems like a likely target, if not lower.
Crude (Featured). We have struggled during this signal as the crude market continued to find tough slogging during the depressing run up to the US presidential election. But post-Trump, the economic outlook has a more optimistic tint to it. With today’s close, we move into plus side of the ledger on this trade.
