I think feeling is that because of more disposable income due to
gas prices people will eat out even more. Plus can be considered
somewhat defensive as well as most don't have currency problems.
Everyone should be able to find something on here they like. Notice
the nice % gain that most had today.

Came in way below estimates. Causing big spike in futures. Guess
everyone thinking more pressure on ECB and UK to prime the pumps.
DX going vertical again too
Posted by racerick on 13th of Jan 2015 at 02:27 am
Down to 44.65 Brent down another 1.85 to 45.60. Less than
a dollar spread. Maybe we'll get our capitulation day soon.
Making a good start on it tonite. Sheesh, just dropped to 44.50.
We're down another 5% tonite.

Been a pretty active nite. Gold had nice move up, hitting 1231
area, until around 1:45 when the dollar started rallying up nearly
.50 and pushing gold back down to the 1220 area.
Oil has been weak all night, undercutting Fridays low slightly,
hitting 47.06 with not even a hint of a decent bounce yet. Natgas
has likewise been down all nite.
Indexes were down to flat until about 1:45 also, and have
steadily moved up with SPX futures up about 12 points and the DOW
futures up around 100 currently.
In Forex, with the strong rebound from Friday in the USD, pretty
much everything else has sold off against, including Euro, Yen and
Aussie.
Oil did just as we expected. Brent undercut the 50 whole # by
about .20 and bounced and our oil undercut S1 by about .10 and
bottomed at 46.83 around 3:20. Since then it has bounced about 1.80
ish all the way back up to the CP in about 2 hours. Brent has
bounced about 1.50ish.
Markets in general seem to be liking. Euro zone numbers came out
and were deflationary which will put a lot of pressure on ECB to
crank up the presses. So looks like buyers coming out of the
woodwork pre-market. SPX futures up 13 and DOW futures up 100.
Brent oil continues to slowly fall. Trading at 50.41 at the
moment. Am thinking with 50 being a nice whole number that might be
the area we bounce from short term. (allowing for some possible
stop running, of course) That would coincide with around 46.75 - 47
on WTI, based on recent spreads.
LOL, It's almost 4 months to the day that Gartman said Brent
would never break $100. Was trading just over 101 a the time. None
of us would have thought there'd be a 50% haircut in 4 months.
Oil making new lows once again. Just hit 47.24 We've got
to be all over that long term trend line.
Question is - Since every trader in the world watching this
trendline, do we undercut it to flush out stops? Steve and/or Matt,
What are your thoughts?
