Dow: Volatile Time Frame

Commodity prices for products such as petroleum, grains, lumber, etc. are affecting stock markets just as they did during the first quarter of 2008. The Dow is moving into a volatile time frame that is similar to what occurred between February 1, 2008 and March 10, 2008. Engrbytrade™ Dow calculations now show a move up to 34,600 between April 15, 2022 and April 25, 2022. After moving through this time frame, a significant decline is expected for the remainder of the year.

Crude Oil: Watch Aramco

Aramco has a history of implementing very large transactions prior to major market moves. In March 2008 Aramco sold their stake in Ashmore. Two months later the stock market peaked and started to fall for the remainder of 2008. On December 11, 2019, Aramco shares started trading with its initial public offering. Two months later the stock market peaked and collapsed in February and March of 2020. On February 13, 2022 Saudi Arabia transferred Aramco shares worth $80 billion to the state’s sovereign wealth fund. Following this trend would mean that a stock market peak in mid-April 2022 would be expected prior to a significant decline in 2022.

Dow: Stock Buybacks

Goldman Sach’s buyback comment appears to contradict what traders would expected with the current situation in Europe. Apparently Goldman is aware that the proposed SWIFT suspension is meaningless. This means engrbytrade™ Dow calculations are correct to show a move up to 35,606 as corporations continue to buy back their stock.

U.S. Dollar: Currency Moves

U.S. Dollar intermarket futures trading data calculations indicate currency traders are expected to move from the Australian Dollar and Canadian Dollar into the U.S. Dollar in a way that is similar to what occurred between December 4, 2018 and December 24, 2018. Since the Dow and S&P500 are expected to move lower this month, steady selling of very large blocks of stock will drive interest rates lower.

Dow/S&P500: $3 Trillion Loss

On January 24, 2022, it was reported that global stock selloff losses were near $3 trillion. It should be noted that part of this stock (inventory) moved from institutional customers, such as pension funds and large trading firms, to the accounts of NYSE Designated Market Makers (DMM) and Supplemental Liquidity Providing Firms (SLP-Prop / SLMM). In the coming weeks part of the inventory accumulated by the DMM and SLP firms will be sold to corporations who are initiating corporate buyback programs. This buyback process will run until March 14, 2022. As corporate buyback programs progress, DMMs and SLP firms will raise prices of their inventory and institutions, large trading firms, retail investors, etc., will start buying. When DMMs and SLP inventories are depleted they have the option to sell short. During the next decline DMMs and SLP firms will cover their short positions while buying stock (inventory) from institutions and large trading firms at a lower price. This process of inventory control was explained in Richard Ney’s books published between 1970 and 1975. The following document provides some insight to the process as well. On page 10 it states that Market Makers must track their inventory to ensure they are not taking undue risk or encroaching on capital limits.
