Monday 28 June Indecision

A sideways choppy day with most markets consolidating in low volume.

S&P is forming either a triangle before a big move to the upside from the bottom of the channel or a bear flag which will break to the downside and see us retest the lows.  I am still leaning towards higher but open to both.

EURUSD looks to have broken down out of its channel.  It had big falls today vs GBP & CHF.  (But dollar buying vs SEK helped support EUR on rumours of a 0.25bps hike later this week & EURSEK is more liquid that USDSEK)

AUD, CAD and NZD traded sideways and AUD did not collapse with the big fall in Gold.
The June 2010 COMEX gold futures contract expired today. The rollover to the next contract likely contributed to this morning's plunge and means Gold could snap back sharply.


The S&P breakout will likely give the direction for risk for the next few days so time to wait and see ...
