Futures were up overnight, and then poof, we’re now back to flat.
Remember, the market couldn’t get going on Friday…
This is the weekly post that aggregates all the charts we put together throughout the week and organizes them all into one, easy to flip through deck.

I need to set the record straight.
Earlier in spring, I wrote a note highlighting wheat’s tendency to lead crude oil at key inflection points.
While this statement is mostly true, it needs clarification.
Chicago wheat does have a tendency to lead crude oil at significant market tops. But crude leads at critical troughs.

The market gapped up this morning, and then the indices dropped into their respective gaps.
We’ll know more next week about whether this rally will continue…

Our International Hall of Famers list is composed of the 100 largest US-listed international stocks, or ADRs.
We’ve also sprinkled in some of the largest ADRs from countries that did not make the market cap cut.
These stocks range from some well-known mega-cap multinationals such as Toyota Motor and Royal Dutch Shell to some large-cap global disruptors such as Sea Ltd and Shopify.
It’s got all the big names and more–but only those that are based outside the US. You can find all the largest US stocks on our original Hall of Famers list.
The beauty of these scans is really in their simplicity.
We take the largest names each week and then apply technical filters in a way that the strongest stocks with the most momentum rise to the top.
Based on the market environment, we can also flip the scan on its head and filter for weakness.
Let’s dive in and take a look at some of the most important stocks from around the world.
Yesterday’s trading action in $TLT, the 20-year treasury bond ETF, gives me confidence that it might have been a near-term low.
I’m making the bet that it’ll hold for at least a few weeks. And the elevated options premiums here give us ample ammunition to wait it out. [Read more…]

Out goes September and in comes October.
We’ve seen that October can be bumpy for the first few weeks and then level out as we approach Halloween.

Welcome to The Junior International Hall of Famers.
With the goal of finding more bullish setups, we have decided to expand one of our favorite scans and broaden our regular coverage of the largest US-listed international stocks, or ADRs.
This scan is composed of the next 100 largest stocks by market cap, those that come after the top 100 and are thus covered by the International Hall of Famers universe.
Many of these names will someday graduate and join our original International Hall Of Famers list. The idea here is to catch these big trends as early on as possible.
Let’s dive right in and check out what these future big boys are up to.
