releases, so I guess you draw from the ole sayings,

the market knows all and the trend is your friend.

thats the best I can do for now, otherwise, sit back
and enjoy the ride.

Oil and US Treasuries consolidating
Waiting for today's US Trade Balance.




--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Energies
March Brent Crude Oil has found a temporary bottom at $60.60. As long as we have no further developpements in Iran, price should ease towards the $59.50 level. The warmer weather predicted next week in the US is less supportive. March Heating oil is marginally up and technically we could have a temporary rally. March Natural Gas has to break the $7.73 level to see any short term improvement


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Metals
Nice rebound on Gold (GCJ6) yesterday to retest the $572 level but we had some heavy profit taking during the Asian session sending the metal back to the $560 level. Look for direction to come from crude Oil and Iran developments. We could see a usual short covering before the week end. Intraday: We suggest to Buy at $560.50; target $567 stop $559.30.




--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Treasuries



Sideway trading continue in the US market after a well bided auction yesterday yielding at 4.53%, the lowest ever for a 30 year Auction. Market will wait for the December trade balance, -$65.0B expected, for any price move. Market Tnote close today in the US will be interesting to watch to have any clue on the TYH6 price move next week. Bunds had a nice reversal day yesterday in good volumes. This morning Bunds tested the 50/60 level where short could be implemented. On a break of 60/64 next resistance is 121.06/10. Some speculation on long term Sovereigns and Corporate issuances is weighting on the market, but we do think that the downtrend will resume shortly.
