This is an abridged version of our Daily Report.

Energy stocks enjoying new highs

More than 40% of stocks in the S&P 500 Energy sector have reached a 52-week high.

That’s the most in more than a year and has preceded declines in the sector in recent years.

ETF traders bet on a spike in volatility

Shares outstanding in ETFs that bet on a rise in volatility have soared in recent weeks, doubling since April.

These tend to be “smart money” traders, anticipating big moves in the VIX with uncanny accuracy.

The latest Commitments of Traders report was released, covering positions through Tuesday

According to the 3-Year Min/Max Screen, “smart money” hedgers are holding the most net long contracts in hogs in several years, since 2012, actually.

No Utilities in short-term uptrends

All 28 members of the S&P 500 Utilities sector are trading below their 10-day moving averages.

Risk Disclosure: Futures and forex trading contains substantial risk and is not for every investor. An investor could potentially lose all or more than the initial investment. Risk capital is money that can be lost without jeopardizing ones’ financial security or life style. Only risk capital should be used for trading and only those with sufficient risk capital should consider trading. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results.

Hypothetical Performance Disclosure: Hypothetical performance results have many inherent limitations, some of which are described below. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown; in fact, there are frequently sharp differences between hypothetical performance results and the actual results subsequently achieved by any particular trading program. One of the limitations of hypothetical performance results is that they are generally prepared with the benefit of hindsight. In addition, hypothetical trading does not involve financial risk, and no hypothetical trading record can completely account for the impact of financial risk of actual trading. for example, the ability to withstand losses or to adhere to a particular trading program in spite of trading losses are material points which can also adversely affect actual trading results. There are numerous other factors related to the markets in general or to the implementation of any specific trading program which cannot be fully accounted for in the preparation of hypothetical performance results and all which can adversely affect trading results.
