“Their stock market today, and our stock market today, hit an all time high, that means we’re doing something right” – Trump, with PM Takaichi of Japan

Japan, monthly

The Nikkei is higher for a seventh consecutive month, having broken a new hist’ high, currently net higher by a rather massive +14.2% at 51307.  I wonder how many are starting to ask ‘how long until 100K ?’

USA – Dow, monthly

The mighty Dow is higher for a sixth consecutive month, breaking a new hist’ high, currently net higher by +2.7% at 47632.

Psy’ 50K is clearly viable before year end.  As is the case for the Nikkei, I wonder how many are starting to ask ‘how long until 100K ?’

Gold is currently net lower for a second week, -$161 (3.9%) at $3950.
Psy’ $4K has decisively failed to hold.
Natural target… 3500/400s.
–

Silver is currently net lower for a second week, -$1.54 (3.2%) at $47.05.
Natural target is psy’40/39 zone.
If correct… implications for the related miners.

With President Milei doing well in the midterms, and with some kind of bailout from the USA ($40bn?), the Argentinian market screamed upwards… the MerVal settling +21.6% to 2.527M

Some perspective…

With four trading days left of the month, the MerVal is currently +42.3%.
The October candle is bullish engulfing, with price sustainably back above the monthly 10MA. Monthly momentum has started to tick back upward, and due to turn positive by Dec’1st.

Why would anyone not expect a new hist’ high >3.0M before year end?

Context: stockcharts updated their interface. Its arguably a net positive, but one thing was a major issue.

Issue: old interface, right click, select ‘save image as’.

A box would appear, you’d name the chart, and save.

New interface… right click, select ‘download chart image’.

… the chart would automatically save image to desktop.

I understand some don’t care, but for someone who wants to quickly name a chart, and then export elsewhere (without leaving the browser window), it was extremely annoying.

SOLUTION…

In browser settings…

Ensure ‘save files’ to *wherever you want
TICK for ‘always ask you where to save files’.

Now… user gets to choose name of chart, before its saved.

*Yes, this is for ‘Waterfox browser’, but all other browsers should have a similar setting.

I understand some might see this as a minor thing, but for some (yours truly included), we’re talking about THOUSANDS of extra mouse clicks per month.

As someone with borderline RSI, I aim to minimise typing/clicking.
