At the time this is being published, the S&P Globex Futures are trading 2.70 points lower and the Bond Market Futures are trading down 1 tick.

Tonight, the grains look weak to me. July Corn [CN9>CN9] and July Soybeans [SN9>SN9] both formed outside days and closed poorly after hitting new 10 day highs and July Wheat [WN9>WN9] is a three bar pullback from lows. Look for shorting opportunities in these contracts.

Once again, June Crude Oil [CLM9>CLM9] broke out to new highs. June Heating Oil [HOM9>HOM9] looks poised to break out to the upside as does Unleaded Gas [HUM9>HUM9] which has formed a high level “mini” cup and handle.

On the Momentum 5 List, the June Canadian Dollar [CDM9>CDM9], mentioned last night and up 27 points today, looks like it has the potential to take out its recent highs. Continue to look for a buying opportunity here.

Best of luck with your trading on Friday!
