[Image] May 22th, 2022 | Issue 131   Hello Traders, China’s banks lowered their key lending rate on loans of five years or more to 4.45% from 4.60%, the biggest cut since 2019. The reduction came as a surprise as the banks are wary of capital flight to the U.S. and the strong dollar is their rates are too low. The move comes to stem a deepening slump in the Chinese housing market and a slew of soft economic data for April. The news out of China is but a nominal measure, but a headline that traders can latch on to when $1.9 trillion in options and derivatives expire Friday, setting up for more volatility that has the market on pace for its seventh straight week of posting losses. The hits just keep coming as inflationary prices pressure takes a deeper toll on businesses.  Last week revealed some risks to forward earnings growth when a couple of big retailers reported their quarterly results. Shares of Walmart Inc. (WMT) and Target Corp. (TGT) tanked after both companies cited excessive shipping costs and higher wholesale prices for goods that squeezed profit margins. This is what the market feared would be an eventuality if inflation persisted, and unfortunately, it has.  There are also fresh signs of lower business investment in IT products and services, a key driver of the U.S. economy and market sentiment. Some recent surveys of IT spending are showing a more cautious approach to upgrades. This concern was evidenced by the slowdown in orders reported by Cisco Systems Inc. (CSCO), where the stock shed nearly 20% following the release of its quarterly results.  Commodity prices remain elevated and will likely remain so until there is some positive data regarding oil inventories and crop forecasts that satisfy the market’s fear of ongoing shortages brought on by the war in Ukraine that is entering its third month. As these concerns and the slow growth prospects in China overwhelm buyers, bond yields are retreating in the process, a positive development. To sum up, a lot of bad news has been priced into stocks where the market is due for a short-term oversold rally.  To this point, I can’t emphasize how vital it is for blog readers and members of the Yellow Tunnel community to keep referring to our Live Trading Room so as to maintain a close tie of how our AI platform is navigating us in and out of select trades.

(FCX) is a leading U.S. based mining company and one of the world’s top producers of copper with significant mining properties in North American, Indonesia and South America. The company has a $51 billion market cap and is forecast to earn $4.00 per share in 2022 on an 18% rise in revenues to $27 billion.  The stock has endured a sharp correction, trading at $37 and down $52 seen back in late March. As of this past Monday, shares of FCX are displaying bullish price action, reversing off the recent low and on the verge of an upside breakout at $38 that would invite strong follow-on buying. This is a kind of bullish setup we seek to trade in a sector where capitation of selling pressure looks complete...

[Click Here and I'll show you how it works...](     CURRENT TRADING LANDSCAPE [Alternate text]( The major averages are groping for a tradeable bottom and quite possibly it is in the making, albeit not without some serious technical damage to overcome. In another sign that bearish sentiment is taking hold, the transportation index broke to a new 52-week low Thursday that opens the way for some follow-on downside, but how much probably is a function of oil prices.  Transportation stocks tend to be leading indicators of future GDP growth prospects as the flow of goods is easily measured along with freight rates. The break of the recent lows is a negative development, but could easily be reversed with a drop in crude prices and improving supply chain conditions.  Not everything is bearish as sentiment would suggest. This past week saw strong quarterly results from notable companies Analog Devices Inc. (ADI), Palo Alto Networks Inc. (PANW) and Home Depot Inc. (HD). The price action has been to initially rally stocks on good news only to see those gains fade within a day or two. This kind of selling into any bouts of strength has to exhaust itself before traders will reverse course and resume buying the dips on strong volume. Downside volume and the A/D line have been clearly bearish and are a strong tell as to when the selling pressure will subside.   The $SPY closed lower 0.6%, at $389, retesting the long-term support level. The value/reflationary ($VTV) closed lower 0.8%, at $136, below the 200 DMA. The technology sector ($QQQ) closed lower 0.5%, at $289, retesting the 50-percent retracement from the pandemic 2020 low to 2022 high...

The same holds true for the U.S. economy where auto production is stifled by a shortage of semiconductors and what is still a robust housing coupled with heavy government spending on infrastructure bodes well for copper prices.  Copper prices have retreated well off the March high and currently trade at $4.17/lb. where a key technical reversal looks to be underway.  A good trading vehicle for copper and other base metals is the SPDR Metals & Mining ETF (XME). This ETF gives traders broad exposure to the metals sector that including copper, aluminum, gold, silver, coal, steel and other minerals. The composition of XME is all the holding are U.S. based and are close to being evenly weighted and is rebalanced on a quarterly basis.  XME has an AUM of about $2.7 billion and owns 32 stocks. The top ten holdings account for about 49% of total assets, making this a fairly concentrated ETF...
