Busy week for macro including lots of FOMC speakers, all of whom will probably sound hawkish because they want the markets to think they might hike again even though they are unlikely to hike again 🙄

Equity futures slightly in the red…

Indexes coming off a down day on Friday and a down week, sparked by the hawkish FOMC on Wednesday…

Here’s how the sectors did on Friday…

Oil still hovering around $90, but at least it’s not spiking to $100 which means CPI should not come in too hot next month…

Yields up again this morning, 10Y yield is flirting with 4.5%, already sitting at 15+ year highs…

25.5% probability of a rate hike in November…

COMMENTARY:

Markets still look ugly with no clear signs of a bottom — from a trading perspective there’s really no reason to be risking capital in this environment with yields at 4.5%, oil above $90 and seasonality not in our favor. Even if the markets started to show us some green shoots today there’s still a lack of quality setups from the TMLs which is where we find the big gains.

Remember, when you’re trading the first rule is preservation of capital so once the markets look healthier you have the capital to hit the gas pedal. Right now I’m 16% invested with 3 positions, in a good market I might be 100-200% invested with 20-30 positions. I’d rather wait for a good market. The good news is that October is a better month whenever August and September are bad months.
