The BKX U.S. Bank Index is still on fire and looking hotly bullish for a third week in a row. And more bullish news for the Nikkei, too. Oh yes, and the 30-year Treasury data is starting to line up quite bullishly (meaning the yield to decline), though not ready to move yet. But another disappointing week for gold bugs: My setup has been in cash for a while, and now the data's gotten even less bullish. See you early next week with more, including a portfolio update. That should be fun! Hope you have a great weekend.
Ever wonder what the smart money is doing in the markets? You don’t need to pay big bucks to find out. Just read the Commodity Futures Trading Commission’s free weekly Commitments of Traders report. The CFTC’s COT data is a Holy Grail of market info, listing trillions of dollars in positions in 200+ markets – gold, crude oil, natural gas, silver, forex, equity indexes and lots more. My trading system, which I posted about here for seven years, gave weekly trading signals based on the COT data.

Mixed News Next Week: Banks Still Have Fire, S&P 500 Out of Gas
New results and signals are now up on my latest signals table. The S&P 500 is going back to cash on Monday's open, and natural gas, after a nice little run, is sadly going to cash on the following Monday's open, Aug. 3. Crude is still on track for a bullish run, now to last three weeks at least, starting Aug. 10.

$115 billion in Treasury auctions next week although only the 20 year TIPS are on the longer end of the curve.
I imagine the TIPS should catch a good bid as who in their right mind doesn't think the US is going to experience inflation in the next 20 years w/all the money the US govt is printing?
Still, that's a huge amount.

I have found this site helpful in determining the bull/bear ratios (a reference to the option volume).
