CHINESE SELL GOLD AGAIN, SILVER FINALLY CRACKS, AUSSIE DOLLAR AND COPPER AT SIX YEAR LOW

Last night Chinese sold gold aggressively.

Relative to its beta, silver has been holding remarkably well but Chinese finally cracked it lower with their selling.

The preliminary China Caixin PMI fell to 48.2 vs. consensus of 49.7.  This was a big surprise to the market.  Australian economy relies on exports to China.  China is a big user of copper.  Australian dollar dropped as low as $0.7292, a six year low.  Copper also fell as low as $2.35, also a six year low.

The U. S. stock market is celebrating Amazon (AMZN) becoming bigger than Wal-Mart (WMT) in terms of market capitalization after AMZN reported a surprise profit.

Oil hit $48.25 yesterday afternoon.  Since then it is experiencing mini short squeezes.

Interest rates continue to fall.

Our very, very short-term early stock market indicator is neutral but can quickly swing to either side.

Gold futures are at $1081, silver futures are at $14.43, and oil futures are $48.75.

S&P 500 resistance levels are 2111, 2132, and 2150; support levels are 2063, 2038, and 2017.

DJIA futures are down 27 points.

Today is the busiest day of the earnings season.  For a change, earnings reported after the close yesterday and so far this morning are better than expected.

Initial Unemployment Claims came at 255K vs. 279K consensus, employment picture continues to get better.  This is a leading indicator with heavy weight in our models.
