Hello Traders,
Thanks to those of you who joined us today. I should reiterate that the Monday Market Update is just that. A big picture overview of the markets, with a few ‘charts of interest’ thrown in. There are no trade recommendations, this is not a signal service – just what I am looking at and interested in.
Today we looked at; FX STAM, Chevron Corporation ($CVX), Exxon Mobil Corporation ($XOM), State Street Energy Sector ETF ($XLE), iShares US Aerospace & Defense ETF( $ITA), Palantir Technologies ($PLTR), SAAB Aerospace ($SAAB_B), and Jeffries Financial Group ($JEF).
You can follow my charts on TradingView at FXTraderPaul: https://bit.ly/FXTPVIEW
We also covered the usual suspects: $DJIA, $NDX, $SPY, $RTY, $DAX, $FTSE, $N225, $WTI, $XAUUSD, $XAGUSD, $BTCUSD, $USD, $DXY, $JPY, $AUD, $CHF, $NZD and $GBP.
Have a great trading week. We return next week at 1230.
Trade well,
Paul
