 The Tiger, Financial News Network, News Update. Good morning, folks, this is Steve Rhodes, coming to you live from the shores of very sunny Delray Beach, Florida. This is your 9 a.m. update, and currently you have all the U.S. equity futures trading to the upside. The Dow is up 153 points, $36.609 is the print, the Nasdaq's up 39, 40 points, trading out at $16.05 and a quarter. The Espany up 17 points, $4803 is its print, the Russell's up 10, that's trading out at $22.79. Over in Asia last night, a little bit of a mixed bag, you had the Nikkei up 510 points, nearly 2%, and the Hangsang was up, well it was basically flat, it was up 15 points out there in Europe. You've got the DAX up over 1%, 166 points, the FTSE up 1.5%, 108. Gold finding to bid, trade out at $9.00, $1809 right now, it's up $9.00, silver, it's up $19.00 pennies, trade out at $22.99. Let's go take a look at our 9-panel market update chart. We begin by looking at the ESMini, the ESMini right now, taking on the resistance of its bearish engulfing candle that confirmed a butterfly sell that was on the trading day of December 30th, $47.9975. If we see a close above that, that pattern gets negated and suggests we move to higher ground. Spot politics is below its 50-day expenditure moving average, which is $19.54. This suggests that the spot politics may be targeting a slower Bolinger Band level of $15.45. As long as the spot politics remains below its 50-day expenditure moving average, the S&P 500 should move sideways to higher. The NQ is trading inside its November 22nd swing point. Whether it's with volume or not doesn't matter. As long as price remains in that, that suggests that price could go test the top, and that's at $16.70, $16.769 and a quarter. The US Dollar Index, finding its legs, it is trading above the top of a daily profile that formed yesterday. If in fact price can close above $96.31 today, that suggests to move back to its most recent high, that high forming on the trading day of December 15th, $96.89. Gold here, finding support at the top of its daily profile. So the move lower may be over. Don't have really a level of support to suggest to you on silver. Maybe it's the oscillator and change line. I don't have view of that screen right now, so I can't say. In the case of LightsWe Crew, there's an A to B equal CD at the upside. It's completed the one-to-one level. It just hasn't generated a bearish reversal candle, but resistance out here is $77.44. Natural gas, still trading right now, the February contract, and that needs a close above $3.98 to suggest that it has found its mojo. Folks, stay tuned. Tommy O'Brien is up next, and I'll be back with you tomorrow at 1 o'clock sharp. Have a terrific Tuesday. Happy New Year to everybody that's out there, and I'll look forward to seeing you again soon. Take care.
