Good Morning Today is December 12

Recap of International Trading:

Japan was  +2.15%

Hong Kong Hang Seng Index +1.61%

China Shanghai Comp. +31 bps

UK FTSE up +1.35%

Dax +98 bps

FED Rate Hike Watch:

According to the CME, there is now a 75% chance of a rate hike in December, that is down from 76% yesterday, and 80% on December 5.

Currently, the market is pricing in a 38% chance there is no rate hike in 2019 and a 36% chance of just one rate hike.

In an interview with Reuters, President Trump believes it would be a mistake if the Fed raised rates next week.

Will It Be More of The Same?

S&P 500 is looking as if it is ready to gap higher this morning. These gaps higher in the morning have been a risky bet recently. As we have noted the ALGO’s have a way of closing those gaps throughout the day. The GAP up on December 3 was filled by days end. The GAP lower on December was filled by days end, The GAP higher on December 10 was filled by days. I would not be surprised to see today’s gap higher filled by midday.

2,670 remains resistance, which was the level the S&P 500 failed at yesterday. That will be resistance today, and the S&P 500 needs to clear that level today for any chance to mount a new trend higher before year’s end.

MInd the GAP!

Apple (AAPL)

Apple is considering shifting production out of China if tariffs go to 25%. Apple is very much the stock that needs to show some signs of leadership. Apple WAS the most valuable company, and it needs to lead like it once did. $164 continues to be technical support and should it rise above $170 it may result in a move back to $180.

Amazon (AMZN)

Amazon continues to be range-bound between $1620 and $1760.

Netflix (NFLX)

Netflix continues to hold its long-term uptrend, and the stock needs to advance over $272 if it is to make a move to $285.

Facebook (FB)

Facebook is another stock that needs to lead, and its performance has dramatically improved recently. The stock may be breaking out,  finally, and maybe on its way to $148

Broadcom (AVGO)

The chips are another group that needs to lead the market higher. Broadcom recently reported strong results and an increase above $252 could see the stock on to $273.

Tesla (TSLA)

Tesla continues to inch closer to $388. It should be a big winner from the auto tariff reductions in China.

Good luck today!
