Trump will need to treat these matters more seriously rather than making flippant remarks and typing obscure tweets.

The July Publication of the Daily Chronology of Global Markets and WorldEconomics 2017-07 is available through Amazon. The historic market action continues with more all-time and multi-year record stock market highs printing in the major indexes and for individual stocks around the world. The world is awash in central banker liquidity so all asset classes continue higher.

July Cover Highlights;
ALL-TIME RECORD STOCK MARKET HIGHS CONTINUE
DOW 22093, NYA 12013, SPX 2484, COMPQ 6461, NDX 5996, RUT 1452, TRAN 9764
OBAMACARE REPEAL AND REPLACE BILL FAILS IN SENATE
US DOLLAR INDEX DROPS EURO POPS
GOVERNMENT LEAKS
WHITEHOUSE DRAMA
HUMANS EMBRACE CHIP IMPLANTS THE MARK OF THE BEAST

The July chronology highlights the non-stop all-time record breaking stock market highs. India’s BSE Sensex is above 32K. The Dow Industrials print above 22K in early August another milestone. The Dow Transports, however, are sinking like a stone. As July ends and August begins, the Dow Industrials (INDU or DJI) and the NYSE Composite (NYA) are printing record highs while the other indexes watch. Either the Dow and NYA are leading the broad market higher going forward, or, these two indexes will roll over to the downside. The Russell 2000 (RUT) is below its 50-day MA which will be tested in the days ahead.

The US dollar index and euro make big moves; these currency baskets move inverse to each other since they are weighted with each other’s currency. The dollar is sinking so the euro is bouncing. The euro tagged 1.19. Both the euro and dollar are testing their 200-week MA’s, resistance for the euro and support for the dollar, and that battle continues for the days ahead.

The daily Whitehouse drama continues with personnel changes occurring after only six months. The Russia and other investigations continue. Leaks from the government are damaging President Trump and the country. There are five times as many leaks occurring as compared to prior presidents.

There are democrats and liberals that pursue a progressive agenda for the country that are seeking to undermine and damage the president as well as establishment demopublican and republocrat politicians that do not want their beltway parties to end that have a vested interest in seeing the president fail. These groups are referred to as the ‘deep state’ that continue leaking sensitive government information hoping to embarrass and damage President Trump. America has become ill.

The chronology explains the price moves in global stock, bond and currency markets after key geopolitical events, central bank monetary policy meetings and economic data releases such as the monthly jobs report. If you are trying to make sense of the markets this is the resource for you. No other publication exists where the stock, bond and currency moves are detailed and explained as world events and economic news take place in real-time.

You can re-live the real-time price moves and excitement in markets for any past events including the May 2015 stock market top (2015-02 through 2015-10), Brexit (2016-06 and 2016-07), the US election (2016-10 and 2016-11), the drama behind the French election (2017-04 and 2017-05), economic data releases, monthly jobs reports, Fed meetings and much more. The wild overnight crash in the S&P futures, and quick recovery, after President Trump’s election last November is chronicled in real-time, as it happened minute-by-minute, in the 2016-11 publication.

As always, all monthly publications of the Daily Chronology of GlobalMarkets and World Economics are available from the links in the margins of the K E Stone blog sites or simply searching on Amazon or Google. The monthly publications contain updated information not posted on the Keystone the Scribe web site as well as clarifications, corrections, edits and refinements to the ongoing daily blog text.

The July 2017-08 chronology is tentatively set for publishing by Amazon on Saturday, 9/2/17.

Charts, technical analysis, trading commentary and blog posts on the KE Stone websites (Keystone the Scribe, The Keystone Speculator and Keybot the Quant) are supported by the advertising revenue, donations and book sales. The sites do not receive advertising credit unless you disable your ad-blocking software so your cooperation is appreciated. Proceeds aid charities.
