    Fri. a.m. U.S. markets fall. Base Metals down, Gold down. Energy flat.


    Dow Jones -0.47%. SP500 -0.6%. Nasdaq -0.64%. Small Caps -1.26%. Banks -0.3%.

    SP500

    SP500 is starting to show initial pull-back signs. The chart has closed below the 5-Day EMA, SMI has finished below its signal line and the 5-Day EMA of Force Index is below the 13-Day EMA and below its zero line. Those are early "sell" signals.

    Strong support lies at the 10-Day MA Ribbon and then major horizontal support. Look for a bounce in those areas.

    Breadth.

    Breadth as measured by the Cumulative A/D Line for the NYSE shows a clear divergence from major indices. So the recent Trump rally hasn't been supported by good breadth. That could mean we are looking at the start of serious pull-back.

    A similar negative divergence occurs on the Bullish Percent reading for the SP500, another measure of breadth, this one specifically referring to the SP500:

    Commodities.

    Commodities Index -0.09%. Energy +0.06%. Base Metals -0.51%. Agriculture +0.86%. Gold -0.26%.

    Despite the weak news out of America, ASX Futures finished up +0.63%, which means the ASX will start in positive territory this morning.

    Take care.
