THE JOSS REPORT NOVEMBER 5, 2006 |
TECH TALK BY Scott R. Joss (Non member C.T.A)*
CASH CRB (CRY$Y)
In the Joss Report dated 10/15/06, I began to briefly discuss the cash $CRB because of a potentially bullish ‘head and shoulders’ bottom.
I explained that the $CRB is a composite index of various commodities.
On 10/15, I alerted traders that a potentially bullish ‘head and shoulders’ bottom might form and that the cash $CRB had developed a yet to be determined trade signal.
On 10/16/06, the cash $CRB posted a buy signal at 305.87
Why is this important?
If the cash $CRB posted a buy signal above 305.86 and posted multiple closes above 309.58, this might constitute a bottom for some products and a price advance for others.
Traders were and are advised to be on their toes between Election Day and the first quarter of 2007.
Remember: what influences market direction is supply/demand - AND policy changes.
The first objective for the cash $CRB will be 321.65.
JANUARY SOYBEANS (SF7)
In the Joss Report dated October 15th, I moved January Soybeans to ‘Tech Talk’ due to the explosive breakout from 577.00 and subsequent upside price advance.
This product is not for the faint of heart because of the higher or lower openings each day - which can be dramatic.
On 10/25/06, January Soybeans posted an unconfirmed yearly buy signal at 643.00.
As long as January Soybeans continue to post monthly closes at or above 643.00, funds will hold on to their long positions.
Last week, traders were introduced to a current development between Soybeans versus Corn ratio price spreads.
Longtime traders know that the typical and time-tested relationship between Soybeans versus Corn price ratio spread was between 2.3 to 2.5.
Let’s review an example from last week: If March Soybeans were priced at say 600.00, then March Corn would be priced between 240.00 and 260.75.
March Soybeans at 600.00 divided by 2.5 = 240 March Corn.
This year, and not since 1994-1996 has the ratio price spread between Soybeans versus Corn narrowed below 2.3.
Currently, the ratio price spread has narrowed to between 1.88 to 1.92 versus the previous week of 1.91 and 1.94.
The narrowing of the Soybean versus Corn price ratio spread suggests the market is trying to influence the farmer to plant more Corn instead of Soybeans.
Last week I gave some reasons why this is occurring;
1) Higher demand for Corn due to Ethanol production by ADM and Cargill.
2) A reported lower Crop Production in Corn from 11.144 billion bu. to 10.905 billion bu.
3) A lower U.S. 2006–2007 Carryover from 1.220 billion Bu. to 996 million bu.
4) A lower Global Carryover for 2006–2007 from 92.31 MMT in September to a recently reported 89.54 MMT.
Next week, traders will get a glimpse of a more current monthly USDA Crop Production.
This all adds up to the old adage of higher demand/lower supply equals higher prices.
The higher price of Corn may influence farmers to plant more Corn and refrain from the typical rotation of Corn crops to Soybean crops.
Let’s continue to keep an eye on the ratio spread between March Soybeans and March Corn - as this could get very interesting if the spread narrows to 1.64 and Soybeans reach 720.00.
If this were to occur, then Corn would reach 439.00. In addition, if a drought occurred this coming summer, I can’t imagine where prices might go.
The ‘Commitment of Traders’ report - published each Friday by the CFTC - indicated the net change in open interest for futures last week decreased by -8,972, posting a total open interest of 375,802 contracts.
Traders are advised not to exceed the rule of thumb - 10% of equity to risk ratio.
The proposed trade risk next week will be $3,400.
If you do not fit this risk profile, traders are advised to consult with their account executive for an option trading strategy.

MARCH COTTON (CTH7)
This week I’m adding March Cotton to ‘Tech Talk’ due to a pending trade signal for next week.
March Cotton has been in a nine-week price decline that began from highs of 60.35 (8/07/06) to current lows of 51.25 (10/18/06).
Recently, March Cotton has traded from lows of 51.25 to highs of 54.00 (10/27/06).
In the previous article, I wrote about the ratio price spread between Soybeans and Corn.
Traders should note there is also a ratio price spread between Soybeans and Cotton.
The higher price of Soybeans may influence farmers to plant more Soybeans and refrain from the typical planting of Cotton in their area.
Traders must now keep an eye on the ratio spread between March Soybeans and March Cotton that is currently at 12.6.
If Soybeans reach 720.00, it would make sense for March Cotton to possibly be at 57.14 or higher.
March Cotton has two unfilled price gaps above the current market price. The most recent unfilled price gap is between 56.90 and 57.20.
This product is not for the faint of heart because of the higher or lower openings each day - which can be dramatic…. and the vicious personality of this product.
The ‘Commitment of Traders’ report - published each Friday by the CFTC - indicated the net change in open interest for futures last week increased by 1,583, posting a total open interest of 185,353 contracts.
Traders are advised not to exceed the rule of thumb - 10% of equity to risk ratio.
The proposed trade risk will be $805.
If you do not fit this risk profile, traders are advised to consult with their account executive for an option trading strategy.

DECEMBER SILVER (SIZ6)
In the Joss Report dated October 15th, I added December Silver to ‘Tech Talk’ due to a trade signal on the weekly and currently on the monthly chart.
On 10/16/06, December Silver posted a buy signal on the weekly chart.
On 11/01/06, December Silver posted a buy signal on the monthly chart.
The daily chart has developed a bullish ‘W’ formation.
If this bullish formation were to continue, December Silver must continue to post weekly closes above the middle of the ‘W’ of 11.840.
This product is not for the faint of heart because of the higher or lower openings each day - which can be dramatic due to extreme volatility.
The ‘Commitment of Traders’ report - published each Friday by the CFTC - indicated the net change in open interest for futures last week increased by 1,137, posting a total open interest of 110,237 contracts.

DECEMBER GOLD (GCZ6)
In the October 15th Joss Report, I moved December Gold to ‘Chart Watch’ due to a pending trade signal on the weekly chart.
I advised traders to be on their toes in case direction and momentum turned positive.
This week I’m moving December Gold to ‘Tech Talk’ due to a bullish ‘head and shoulders’ bottom.
The left shoulder developed between lows of 576.60 and highs of 612.40.
The head established itself between lows of 563.50 and highs of 595.00.
The right shoulder is developing between lows of 573.00 and highs of 604.00.
The downward sloping ‘neckline’ breakout last week was at 600.00.
Multiple closes above 615.40 have confirmed a bottom is in place.
The upside price objective from the ‘head and shoulders’ is 648.90.
December Gold has two unfilled price gaps above the current market price. The first unfilled price gap is between 637.50 and 641.00. The second unfilled price gap above the current market price is between 699.00 and 700.00.

CHART WATCH by Scott R. Joss (Non member C.T.A)*
Readers and clients call during the week and ask: What are you watching?
Watching can mean that the markets are developing a trade signal or a chart pattern that has not yet fully developed - or may never develop.
During the course of the week or month it is not uncommon to find an `intra-day, intra-week or intra-month' recommendation that was previously not revealed when this newsletter was written.
Products that currently fit into this 'watch' category are listed below and should be 'watched.'
MARCH COFFEE (KCH7)
This week I’m adding March Coffee to ‘Chart Watch’ due to two potentially bullish ‘W’ formations on the daily chart and a ‘W’ formation on the weekly chart. I have not seen this since the 2005 Sugar chart.
March Coffee has posted a bullish spread ‘double bottom’ at 105.00 (9/18/06) and 105.15 (10/16/06).
The middle of the first bullish ‘W’ is at 112.50 and our projection would be 120.00.
The middle of the second bullish ‘W’ is at 117.30 and our projection would be 132.70.
This product is not for the faint of heart because of the high volatility - which can be dramatic.
This product is not for beginners.
The ‘Commitment of Traders’ report - published each Friday by the CFTC - indicated the net change in open interest for futures last week increased by 4,128, posting a total open interest of 116,804 contracts.
Traders are advised not to exceed the rule of thumb - 10% of equity to risk ratio.
The proposed trade risk will be $3,300.
