By Alex Lawler LONDON (Reuters) - Oil dropped on Wednesday after hitting a multi-year high above $83 a barrel, pressured by an American Petroleum Institute (API) report showing rising crude inventories in the United States and technical indicators suggesting prices have rallied too fast. The latest surge in the price of crude was underpinned by the refusal of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and allies to boost output faster and comes against a backdrop of concern about tight energy supply globally. On Monday, OPEC, Russia and other allies, known as OPEC+, chose to stay with a plan to increase output gradually and not boost it further as the United States and other consumer nations have been urging. Brent crude rose as high as $83.47, the highest since October 2018, and at 1335 GMT was down 98 cents, or 1.2%, at $81.58. U.S. crude climbed to $79.78, the highest since November 2014, before retreating to trade 71 cents lower at $78.22. "An energy crisis is unfolding with winter in the northern hemisphere still to begin, and sets the stage for even higher oil prices," said Stephen Brennock of oil broker PVM. The price of Brent has surged more than 50% this year, adding to inflationary pressure that could slow recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic. Natural gas has surged to a record peak in Europe and coal prices from major exporters have also hit all-time highs. Jeffrey Halley, analyst at brokerage OANDA, said both crude contracts looked overbought based on a widely followed technical indicator, the relative strength index. "That may signal some daily pullbacks this week but does not change the underlying bullish case for oil," he said. Some downward pressure came from the API's figures showing signs of slowing fuel demand. The industry group said U.S. crude inventories rose by 951,000 barrels in the week to Oct. 1, website Oilprice.com reported, and gasoline and distillate fuel inventories also climbed. Attention will focus later on official inventory numbers due at 1430 GMT from the Energy Information Administration. [EIA/S]

The U.S. 10-Year Treasury yield ended a three-day losing streak on Monday as growth stocks plunged and concerns about a potential U.S. government debt default offered another reason for caution.

By Noah Browning LONDON (Reuters) -Oil prices rose over $2 on Wednesday after industry data showed a larger-than-expected drawdown in U.S. crude inventories and on expectations demand will rise as vaccination roll-outs widen. Brent oil rose $2.25, or 3.1%, to $75.85 a barrel by 1355 GMT, while U.S. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude climbed $2.31, or 3.3%, to $72.77 a barrel. Brent hit its highest levels since late July and WTI since early August. U.S. crude oil, gasoline and distillate stocks fell last week, two market sources said, citing American Petroleum Institute figures, after Hurricane Ida shut numerous refineries and offshore drilling production. [API/S] Crude stocks fell by 5.4 million barrels for the week ending Sept. 10, compared to a forecast 3.5 million barrel drop. The U.S. Energy Information Administration's oil inventory report is due at 10:30 a.m. EDT (1430 GMT) on Wednesday. "The impact of Hurricane Ida was a lot greater than many anticipated and production in the Gulf of Mexico region might struggle to return until Tropical Storm Nicholas is done punishing the region with torrential rain," said Edward Moya, senior analyst at OANDA. Tropical Storm Nicholas moved slowly through the Gulf Coast on Tuesday, leaving hundreds of thousands of homes and businesses without power, although Texas refineries ran normally. Damage from the storm comes two weeks after Hurricane Ida knocked a significant amount of Gulf Coast refining capacity offline. "This year’s hurricane season has a much greater and longer-lasting impact on the global oil balance than in previous years," said Tamas Varga, oil analyst at London brokerage PVM Oil Associates. Oil prices also found support from the International Energy Agency (IEA), which said on Tuesday vaccine roll-outs would power a rebound, after a three-month slide in global oil demand due to the spread of the Delta coronavirus variant and renewed pandemic restrictions. But oil price gains were capped by a fall in China's crude throughput in August with daily refinery runs hitting the lowest since May 2020 and overall factory output faltering.

Thursday, September 9, 2021 Following a day of weakness, U.S. stock futures are again looking modestly lower, pulling back along with declines in both Europe and Asia as the spread of the delta strain of Covid-19 continues to weigh on the U.S. economy. This morning, two airlines noted impact to revenues due to a decline in travel. Tech stocks in China fell after regulators again increased pressure on gaming companies for focusing solely on profit. In Asian markets, The Nikkei Index declines -173 points to hold just above 30K, the Shanghai Index rose 17 points to 3,693 and the Hang Seng Index dropped over -600 points (2.3%) to settle at 25,716. In Europe, the German DAX is down about -40points to 15,570, while the FTSE 100 tumbles over -80 points (1.2%) to hold around the 7,000 level. Yesterday, Europe’s Stoxx 600 was down 1.0%, marks worst day in nearly 3 weeks as the German Dax down 1.4%, marks worst day since mid-July. Later this morning, we get the European Central Bank (ECB) rate decision at 7:45 AM and press conference at 8:30 AM where investors will look for clues about inflation and or asset tapering. The S&P 500 Index was lower for a third straight session Wednesday amid increasing concerns about economic growth and the ongoing spread of Covid. The Federal Reserve’s Beige Book report showed that economic growth downshifted slightly to a moderate pace from early July through August, largely due to a pullback in dining out, travel and tourism because of consumers’ safety fears. The dollar pared earlier gains, while Treasuries recovered Tuesday’s losses.

By Noah Browning LONDON (Reuters) -Oil prices rose on Wednesday before an OPEC+ meeting at which the producer club is expected to stick to a plan to add 400,000 barrels per day (bpd) each month to the end of December. The Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) and allies including Russia, collectively known as OPEC+, are set to meet at 1500 GMT. OPEC+ has raised its forecast for oil demand next year, sources within the group told Reuters, in a move that might help to build a case for raising output. Brent crude for November delivery gained 21 cents, or 0.3%, to $71.84 a barrel by 1225 GMT. U.S. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude for October was up 22 cents, or 0.3%, at $68.72. U.S. President Joe Biden's administration has urged OPEC+ to boost output to tackle rising gasoline prices that it views as a threat to the global economic recovery. "One foregone conclusion is that they will not add additional barrels as per Washington's recent request. Nor will they press the pause button on easing supply curbs," said Stephen Brennock of oil broker PVM. "There is no reason to think (OPEC+) will rock the boat when it comes to its production strategy." Prices were also supported by a U.S. industry report showing that crude inventories fell more than expected last week, though much U.S. refinery capacity remains offline in the wake of Hurricane Ida. U.S. crude stocks fell by 4 million barrels for the week to Aug. 27, according to two market sources, citing American Petroleum Institute (API) figures on Tuesday. Ahead of the weekly Energy Information Administration report due at 10:30 a.m. EDT (1430 GMT) on Wednesday, a Reuters poll of analysts estimated crude stocks would drop by 3.1 million barrels. [EIA/S] However, U.S. crude prices are expected to remain under pressure as offshore oil and gas production in the Gulf of Mexico gradually recovers, though refinery operations are likely to take longer to return to normal, analysts say.

The S&P 500 and the Nasdaq Composite added to their record-setting pace of gains on Monday, driven by a rally in information technology stocks, but the Dow Jones Industrial Average lagged behind its equity benchmark peers. The S&P 500 closed up 0.4% at around 4,529, establishing an intraday record high at 4,537.36, while the Nasdaq Composite Index ended 0.9% higher at roughly 15,266, following its own intraday record on Monday at 15,288.08. Growth stocks have led the market Friday and today, after Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell recently stressed that the central bank should not overreact to a recent jump in inflation. While the central bank is expected to begin reducing its bond purchases later this year, Fed officials have emphasized that the timing of such a move won’t impact any later decision to raise interest rates from near zero. China’s post-COVID recovery appears to have stalled in August, with an official economic activity reading coming in barely above the 50-point mark that separates growth from contraction. Still overseas markets moved higher. In Asian markets, The Nikkei Index jumped 300 points to 28,8089, the Shanghai Index rose 15 points to 3,543 and the Hang Seng Index climbs 339 points (1.33%) to 25,878.

Tuesday, August 24, 2021 Futures Up/Down % Last Dow 59.00 0.17% 35,340 S&P 500 8.25 0.19% 4,484 Nasdaq 45.50 0.30% 15,350 U.S. futures are looking higher, adding to the record setting performances by the S&P 500 and Nasdaq yesterday on further vaccine approval optimism yesterday, while China stocks rebound for the first time in 2-weeks. Last week’s stock market pullback (if you can call 1% a pullback) is all but a memory as stocks surged on Monday, with the S&P 500 hitting an intraday record high along with the Nasdaq notching another new record close. Helping positive sentiment was the U.S. FDA granting full approval to the COVID-19 vaccine developed by Pfizer Inc and its partner BioNTech SE. Investors were also looking ahead to the Federal Reserve’s Jackson Hole symposium, which gets underway later this week. Energy led the way among S&P 500 sectors, rising 3.8% as crude prices rose about 5%, snapping its 7-day losing streak from last week, while defensive sectors such as utilities lagged. In Asian markets, The Nikkei Index jumped 237 points to 27,732, the Shanghai Index gains 37 points to 3,514 and the Hang Seng Index jumps 618 points to 25,727. In Europe, the German DAX rises over 50 points above 15,900, while the FTSE 100 is down a few points holding around the 7,100 level. The big event for markets this week will take place in Jackson Hole at the economic symposium of the Federal Reserve. While some officials have stated plans to scale back stimulus, threats from the Delta variant have raised questions about whether they will hold off on signaling a taper timeline on $120B/month in bond buying.

Wednesday, August 18, 2021 Futures Up/Down % Last Dow -64.00 0.18% 35,195 S&P 500 -2.25 0.06% 4,441 Nasdaq 18.50 0.12% 15,015 U.S. futures are looking mixed ahead of the Fed Minutes, with the Dow and S&P slipping, while the tech heavy Nasdaq Corp looks to rebound after underperformance on Tuesday, as major averages fell by the most in four-weeks. Fed Minutes from the prior FOMC meeting (after 2:00 PM today) may show discussions about tapering monthly bond purchases, or just how divided FOMC officials are on the debate. Yesterday, Fed Chair Jerome Powell said the pandemic is “still casting a shadow on economic activity.” Overnight, Minneapolis Federal Reserve President Neel Kashkari said Tuesday that incoming economic data will drive the central bank’s decision on when to taper its asset purchases, noting that it’s “reasonable” to foresee such a move taking place late this year or early next year. Yesterday, the Nasdaq fell -0.9%, Dow -0.8% and S&P 500 -0.7% ended down on a day that started with pressure from Chinese equities and saw mega caps slide and home improvement names sell off after Home Depot Q2 comp sales mix. Today, rival Lowe’s (LOW) reports a beat across the board while retail giant Target (TGT) beats on the top and bottom line with slightly better comps, though shares slip. The S&P closed above Monday’s intraday low of 4,437 and today’s intraday low successfully tested a support level of 4,423, the prior high. The move comes one day after the S&P 500 had posted a 100% rise off its March 2020 closing low. It has now been 328 calendar days since the benchmark index last ended a decline of more than 5% from a record high. The current 328 calendar-day run since then end of a decline of more than 5% from a record high, is the longest such streak since early 2018. In Asian markets, The Nikkei Index rebounded, rising 161 points to 27,585, the Shanghai Index gained 38 points to 3,485, and the Hang Seng Index climbed 121 points to 25,867. In Europe, the German DAX is down -15 points to 15,900, while the FTSE 100 slides over -20 points to 7,155.

erstmal ist alles viel einfacher. das ganze design ... nix ist versteckt .... nix kommt doppelt und dreifach vor wie bei binance...alles recht simpel und auf futures optimiert. dann die geilste funktion was ansonsten nur bybit hat: man kann seine orders im chart per drag and drop verschieben. dann wenn ich eine position eröffne muss ich nicht erst wie bei binance oder bybit in contract size umrechnen. auch wenn ich inverse getradet habe bei binance...da wollte er dann die anz. der coins was zum rechnen ja noch bescheuerter ist auch wenn das positionen eröffnen dadurch einfacher ist da ich immer meine position in trading view berechne...also ich gebe dort ein wie viel prozent von meinen acc kapital ich verwenden will. oder zB einen fixen betrag von 100$. bei ftx ist das egal. ich kann sowohl die QTY eingeben die mir dann bei tradingview angezeigt wird oder auch den dollar betrag. wenn die position dann läuft sehe ich auch in dollar meinen gewinn , bei binance kommts halt drauf an was man handelt...entweder wird dir dein pnl in coins oder in dollar angezeigt. einer der größten nachteile an binance ist aber das die seite ohne externe tradingsoftware nahezu nutzlos ist... in jeder hype phase schmiert es ab. kann da noch nix zu ftx sagen weil ich es noch nicht so lange benutze aber denke das wird einiges stabiler laufen weil dort noch nicht so viel los ist und generell das auftreten seriöser ist. bei binance schmiert ja oft mal der orderflow ab in wichtigen situtationen oder das ganze trading panel rein zufällig dann wenn man unbedingt ne order aufgeben muss. ^^ die API voin binance hingegen soll ja stabil sein aus diesem grund und vorallem aus dem grund das man bei binance keine conditional order hat benuitzen viele externe software.... und das ist auch der größte nachteil an binance... es gibt nur standard market und limit order aber keine bedingungen... das gabs sonst immer nur bei bybit... heißt bei binance kannste nur direkt market order machen oder eine ganz normale limit order welche natürlich im fall von long unterhalb des kurses platziert werden muss oder im fall von short überhalb des kurses.... achja und es gibt bei ftx keinen hebel den man einstellt.... man gibt die positionsgröße an und der hebel stellt sich automatisch jenachdem wie viel guthaben auf dem acc ist. man kann aber ganz einfach weitere subaccount verwalten wo man dann betrag x drauf lädt falls man bock hat auf liquidation zu gehen . ich für mein teil brauch das nicht. bei mir ist jede order die ich aufgebe direkt von anfang an mit stopp loss und take profit voreingestellt.... aber selbst wenn du bei ftx mal liquidiert wist...die haben wohl ne einzigartige liquidation engine....damit soll es dann auch mal vorkommen das man nicht liquidiert wird... bzw nicht zu früh wie das bei anderen der fall ist oder wo man noch so ne art versicherung bezahlen muss so wie bei bybit zB.... der größte vorteil aber ist das FTX wohl schon komplett reguliert ist. aufjedenfall hat die bafin die auf dem schirm... bei allen anderen börsen vorallem bei bybit gibts keine aufsicht... die traden zusammen mit ihrer influencer armee im prinzip die ganze zeit gegen dich... haben so gut wie jeden tag mehr wie 50% fake volumen und lassen dich nicht richtig ins orderbook schauen.... bei binance wird das nicht so schlimm sein allerdings wird dort trotzdem manipuliert.... bei FTX gibts vlt auch welche die den kurs manipulieren aber die firma selber kann schonmal kein insider trading etc machen weil dann haben sie verschissen bei der bafin > @Naramis said: Ich trade jedenfalls erst mal weiter bei Binance, solange es da keine Probleme gibt, und sehe für mich aktuell keinen guten Grund, das stattdessen bei FTX zu tun.

Tuesday, August 17, 2021 Futures Up/Down % Last Dow -221.00 0.62% 35,313 S&P 500 -21.25 0.49% 4,452 Nasdaq -59.50 0.39% 15,075 U.S. equity-index futures are looking lower this morning, while global stocks have fallen for a second day amid several market concerns. U.S. major averages hit record highs (S&P 500 and Dow record high closes for a 5th straight session) on Monday as investors moved into defensive sectors (Healthcare, Staples, Utilities) and stocks recovered from losses earlier in the session, shaking off glum economic data out of China and the U.S., but start the day on shaky ground yet again. Several factors playing into the morning decline including: 1) concerns that more lockdowns could be needed to contain the coronavirus pandemic; 2) Treasury yields fall ahead of an address by Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell on the health of the world’s largest economy; 3) Dow component Home Depot (HD) reports a top and bottom-line beat, but weaker-than-expected comp sales drag shares lower; 4) Federal Reserve Bank President Eric Rosengren said Monday he could be prepared to begin rolling back economic stimulus this fall. But he said he wouldn’t boost interest rates until the employment picture improves; 5) China markets tumble following another regulatory crackdown after China published detailed rules to tackle unfair competition and companies’ handling of critical data; the draft regulations ban unfair competition and restrict the use of user data. Investors were also digesting news from Afghanistan, where thousands of civilians desperate to flee the country thronged Kabul airport after the Taliban seized the capital. Asian stocks retreat for fourth day as the Hang Seng and Shanghai Composite lose ground after China issues draft rules targeting unfair online competition. The Kosdaq sinks 2.3% as Korean selloff resumes following Monday’s holiday. The Nikkei Index fell -98 points to 27,424, the Shanghai Index tumbled -70 points (or 2%) to 3,446 and the Hang Seng Index declined -435 points (1.66%) to 25,745. In Europe, the German DAX is down around -40 points to 15,885, while the FTSE 100 is up a few points to 7,165. Wal-Mart earnings expected later this morning as well.

Wednesday, August 11, 2021 Futures Up/Down % Last Dow 32.00 0.09% 35,187 S&P 500 -2.25 0.06% 4,427 Nasdaq -32.00 0.21% 15,012 U.S. stocks are looking mixed ahead of key economic data today, coming a day after the Dow Jones Industrial Average and the benchmark S&P 500 each rose to record highs, buoyed by gains in economically sensitive value stocks such as materials, industrials, and building products after the Senate passed a $1 trillion infrastructure plan today with 19 Republicans joining all 50 Democrats voting to approve the bill that includes $550B in new funding, and it will now move to the House. Early this morning the Senate Democrats passed the $3.5 trillion budget framework, opening a path for President Joe Biden’s economic agenda. However, tech weakness dragged down the Nasdaq Composite led by large cap names on Tuesday, with more weakness early. Crude posted its biggest intraday gain in more than two weeks, while the U.S. dollar climbed to a three-week high and Treasury yields hit their highest levels since mid-July (1.34%). Meanwhile, Cleveland Fed President Loretta Mester said supply disruptions are raising prices, but it’s unclear whether they will lead to continuous gains in inflation. Those headlines come ahead of today’s consumer price index (CPI) which is expected to show a 4.3% year-over-year core print, 5.3% year-over-year “core” overall. Treasury yields continue to edge higher ahead of today’s CPI reading, with the 10-year up about 3 bps to 1.37%, meanwhile the U.S. dollar overs around 3-week highs. In Asian markets, The Nikkei Index jumped 182 points (0.65%) to settle at 28,070, the Shanghai Index was up slightly at 3,532 and the Hang Seng Index gained 54 points to 26,660. In Europe, the German DAX is up slightly at 15,785, while the FTSE 100 rises around 35 points to 7,200.

Tuesday, August 10, 2021 Futures Up/Down % Last Dow -19.00 0.05% 34,979 S&P 500 -0.25 0.02% 4,425 Nasdaq 17.50 0.12% 15,142 Stock markets are looking quiet again, as major averages have been holding near record highs but struggling for direction to start the week. Stronger economic data last Friday on the form of non-farm payrolls and declining unemployment helped boost sentiment about the economy, overshadowing any uncertainty over what impact the fast-spreading delta virus variant will have on the economy and comments from Federal Reserve officials about scaling back support. In Asian markets, The Nikkei Index gained 68 points to settle at 27,888, the Shanghai Index jumped 35 points to 3,529, and the Hang Seng Index gained 322 points (1.23%) to close at 26,605. In Europe, the German DAX is up around 25 points to 15,770, while the FTSE 100 is down a few points at 7,125. Today a fairly busy day of economic data, but all eyes fixed on the inflation reports coming up tomorrow (CPI) and on Thursday (PP), to see if the four-month spike in prices is indeed transitory as the Fed has pledged or if it is something more troubling for consumers down the line.

a tradingview non credo... però con api si collega a molte piattaforme esterne. Io uso tradingview, sella, ticker explorer collegata con api a sella

Salve Stefano, anche io uso Sella da pochissimo, la pecca più grande per me sono igrafici. Che tu sappia, sarebbe possibile con un Api collegarli a Trading View? Grazie > @StefanoC said: per l'operatività che fai tu va benissimo. mi pare anche Enrico usi Iwbank. Io uso Sella per esigenze di dettaglio: ha book infinito (ma non serve poi molto), però ha il flusso dati più potente in Italia: tipizza gli scambi acquisto/vendita al centesimo di secondo, mentre IW e Webank si fermano al secondo.

kann mir wer eine app cryptoportfolii empfehlen, die per api auf binancw, bybit und coinbase pro zugreifen kann?
