 The Tiger financial news network update. Good morning folks. This is Steve Rhodes coming to your live from the shores of sunny Delray Beach, Florida. This is your 9 a.m. update. Oh, let me get the charts out here. Sorry about that. This is your 9 a.m. update. And currently we have U.S. equity futures trading to the downside. You've got the Dow futures off about 100 and 209 points. Nasdaq futures down 178. S&P futures off 40. Russell's down 15. You've got gold off 3 bucks. Silver's up 13 pennies. Platinum's down about 2 bucks. Copper's up a nickel. You've got natural gas up 3 pennies. 30-year Treasury is printing out at 109.10. That's off. Two full points out there. The bond crash continues its way lower out there. And you've got the U.S. dollar index. It's up right now. Let's go take a look at what all this means or what to be paying attention to watch today. The first level is going to be the E.S. minis. We take a look at our 9-panel market update chart. $4253.50. That's the key level. That is a buy the D-point pattern. If price closed below that, inside the E.S. minis, we are headed lower. Spot Boltonix is still above its 50-day exponential moving average. It's always dangerous for the bulls out there because it gives sellers the edge. The NQ, now the E.S. and NQ are the only two daily equity future contracts that have bottom patterns. The NQ has got a TD9 count bottom. That key level of support is $14586. If price closed below $14586, we're going to see an A to B equal CD to the downside pattern form inside of the NQ. What will give things conniptions? That would be the U.S. dollar index. It's got a rose minted indicator top. Price has pulled back so far. It's found support at the top of that daily profile. The key for the markets to really rally, for metals to really rally, should be a U.S. dollar index that closes below $10610. If it doesn't close below that, well, then we have a neutral signal because price will have held support with a top. In the case of gold, you want to see it close today above $1830.90. That's a TD9 count bottom. Price closed below that, gold headed lower. Silver has a wave seven and a TD9 count bottom. Its level of watch is $2085. If you close below that, you're headed lower. Lights we crude should target its daily breakout level, and that's at $7894. Natural gas should target its daily breakdown level, and that's up at $343. In the 30-year treasury, we're at lows out here. It got China just dumping treasuries left and right out there. Folks, stay tuned. Tommy O'Brien is up next. Have a fantastic Friday, and I'll see you Monday, 11 a.m. sharp. Take care, folks.
