NDX Rollover, today’s ratio levels, table and comment for July & Aug-Chalk another up for the big players

HRA Rollover NDX 19th July 2017

Surprisingly no further change in the NZ today although the ratios continue to tumble above the current zone.

At the end of the day on the rollover the market is 100 points above its zone, but also very much like the SPX recently it hasn’t been that worried as long as it is in Y1.

For us we would expect the NZ to move to 5775-5825 by Friday but even then it is still 55 points above it.

However we did mention the step-up yesterday was still at 5875 so it was interesting to see the high and close so near, and today even this level has moved to 5900 the ratios are falling so fast.

Range:            5775  to  5925 

Activity:          Poor

Type:              Bullish

The August NZ has not so much moved today but rather expanded and now covers 75 points.

This is an ever present situation when the development of the ratio are so retarded and with just a few days left to go now until this becomes the alpha expiry the R ratios are so far away at either end they might as well not be there at all.

Perhaps it is worth noting that the close of the NDX at the end of the June expiry was 5681.48 therefore so far in the July expiry this index has added 198.62 points or 3.5%, which on an annual basis is 42%.

At the end of the December 2016 expiry the NDX closed at 4808.04 so it is already up 22.30% and the point is a lack of ratio works both ways, although at present it seems to imply a limitless upside.

Range:            5800  to  6100                    

Activity:          Moderate

Type:              On balance only just bullish
