More important than predicting the market is understanding its
behavior. Notice the close correlation between the S&P emini contract
and the interest rate on the 10-year note. The link between the two is
oil, which threatens an economic slowdown. When the S&P made a
relative high after 12:30 pm, T-note yields were having none of it. In
markets such as we've been seeing, it helps if you can act like a trader, but
think like a central banker.
