Market Internals
Vix closed at 13.95. Skew is down at 122.03. Market sentiment is slightly neutral to bullish. Market breadth continues to slope up.
The week ahead
The weakening US Dollar is good for the US economy and that is a piece of good news. The Japanese Yen which has strengthened against the dollar is no good for the Japanese economy and hence the Nikkei has lost ground lately. It is also a reason for the continued strength in the US market. There is a Squeeze in the USD/JPY and hence we could see a big movement in the market if the Squeeze fires.
The market looks to be well hedged and the prognosis is that any pullback will be small. More likely, it will move sideways to upward.
To YOUR wealth!
