At the time this is being published, the S&P Globex Futures are trading 2.00 points lower and the Bond Market Futures are trading up 11 ticks.

Once again, June Crude [CLM9>CLM9] continued to hit major highs today. This action lifted June Heating Oil [HOM9>HOM9] and June Unleaded Gas [HUM9>HUM9] to an interesting level. They are both right at major highs. Look for a buying opportunity on a breakout above these highs.

Today, June Bonds [USM9>USM9], on the Pullbacks Off Highs List, hit new 10 day lows but reversed and closed well. This suggests that the bigger picture double bottom is still in tact. Look for a buying opportunity here.

May Pork Bellies [PBK9>PBK9] stalled out at resistance and closed poorly. This makes them an interesting Turtle Soup Plus One sell candidate.

July Sugar [SBN9>SBN9], on the Pullbacks Off Lows List, is consolidating at lower levels. Look for a shorting opportunity here but remember, at under 5 cents, that there are not that many cents left in the contract!

Best of luck with your trading on Tuesday!
