ECONOMIC CALENDAR

Nothing of note on the economic calendar for tomorrow's trading day.

MOMENTUM WATCHLIST

$TWG

Lower float on this one in particular - a nice $11.50 clean breakout could send this one flying early in tomorrow's trading day.

$CETX

Another low-float that is setting up nicely for a potential 4 AM / pre-market pop. If we can clear $4.20+ on volume - shouldn't have too hard of a time sending this thing shooting higher.

SWING WATCHLIST

$FIX

Just an amazing uptrend all year. Trading around the $1,000 key psychological level. Really good fundamentals, gonna be watching this one on the lower time frames for a potential entry.

$NBIX

Testing very significant resistance here on the daily. Waiting to see if some volume can come in and support a push over those previous highs / zones of resistance. Great fundamentals on this one as well that I'll be watching very closely tomorrow.

MARKET INFORMATION

Fed Rate Cut Looking Likely

The market is basically pricing in an 87% chance of a quarter-point rate cut at the Fed meeting this week (December 9-10). That's up from 85% on Friday after some Fed officials sounded pretty dovish. This should be good for stocks, but the dollar's been weakening to 5-week lows and we might see some hesitation heading into the actual announcement. Real focus will be on Powell's comments and what they're projecting for 2026.

Asia Shaky, Europe Holding Up

Asian markets opened pretty cautious overnight - Japan's dealing with potential rate hikes pushing their bond yields to the highest since 2007, and China's stimulus plans haven't really impressed anyone. That weakness could bleed into US energy and mining stocks. Europe actually held up okay last week though, so the damage might be contained if the Fed stays dovish.

Bonds and Commodities Getting Defensive

Treasury yields are sitting around 4.27% after spiking Friday, oil's down a bit on demand concerns, and gold's hanging around $4,200 as everyone bets on rate cuts. Probably going to see some choppiness in rate-sensitive sectors like real estate and banks tomorrow. The VIX could tick up a bit if yields stay firm - might see a rotation out of momentum plays into safer names with this week's Fed meeting coming up.

Anyways...

That's all for now, folks!
