Commitment of Traders Report COT CFTC - Silver - Commodity Exchange Inc - 20 December 2011 Silver has been in an uptrend for quite sometime now. However we can see that the number of commercials net short is decreasing since the middle of this year and the prices have been falling ever since. They are leaning towards being net long. The 50% line is something we need to look out for. If that happens silver prices will fall further and it looks like the downward momentum is gaining steam.

Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas! Enjoy the holidays! For me I will be working hehe...

Back in June 2011, we looked at the Singapore Exchange (SGX) chart. See link here . The commercials were short since April 2011 and it was recommended not to go long in that period if your risk tolerance is low. Let us see if that was a good recommendation. Singapore Exchange SGX Share Price - Commitment of Traders COT Proxy The commercials are still maintaining their net short position. The SGX share price is currently at 6.09. The failed ASX-SGX merger is one of the main headlines that SGX created and what a year it was for SGX in 2011.

News just out that the US markets had a surge of 3% on Tuesday due to: 1) US data showing a surge in new housing start 2) Strong encouraging news on Germany's economy 3) Reports of a Greek deal with private debt holders Now is this a bear trap? And how does the other economy outside of the US and Eurozone doing? As of this writing (data from Bloomberg): TSX : +1.14% BOLSA : +0.13% BOVESPA : -0.42% TA 25 : +1.74% TOP 40 : +1.08% NIKKEI : +0.29% KOSPI : +1.15% ASX 200 : +0.47% STI : +0.91%

How bad is the situation in Europe? Well, it looks bad enough that they are asking the world for help. Just days before it looks like there is hope for the EU and now this. Read the Channel NewsAsia link. One day it is all rosy, next day it is all gloom and doom. News does confuse you doesn't it? Will all these help you in your trading decision? I gave up on all these news releases and just follow what the commercials do. Of course people tell me that I am a sheep following the herd...

Commitment of Traders Report COT CFTC - US Dollar Index - 13 December 2011 How would you use the COT US Dollar Index to trade EUR/USD? Above is the EUR/USD chart along with the COT chart for US Dollar Index (ICE Futures). The commercials are net short of the dollar since reporting date 11 September 2011. The EUR/USD has since gone downhill from there. Although there were some sort of a bull trap for the EUR/USD as you can see on 23 October 2011, if you have stayed with the commercials you would have avoided going long. Now the short position is still in play.

Commitment of Traders Report COT CFTC - Gold - Commodity Exchange Inc - 13 December 2011 The commercial traders have reduced their net short position in the last few weeks. Look at the gold chart below for XAU/USD. If the trend continues we can expect the price to go down further. Is it just a minor correction or the end of the bull market for gold? Well, we will just follow the commercials for now. Gold XAUUSD Chart December 2011

COT Report - Euro FX The Euro is in a confused state right now. Look at where the Euro is heading and what the commercials are doing. The short has been taking place since the reported date of 11th September 2011!
