Tuesday Market Update -- Yellen Vs. USD, Treasuries & Gold

News:
Yellen 10am EDT.

Syriza submits reforms. Vows to crack down on the very citizens it promised to protect from the man. Eurogroup (the man) loves it.

ES Futures:
Flat waiting for Yellen.

S&P Outlook:
Continues its weak march higher, although if it fulfills the expected rising wedge, patience will be rewarded. Two near-term Fib targets above are 2114.42 and 2133.38.

FX:
Quiet. USD firm.

Bonds:
Heavy volume overnight in 5s and 10s as prices are again pressured.

Energy:
Crude holds below its rising wedge trend line, NG pulls back. Neither present compelling odds at this moment. This could change quickly, however.

Metals:
Gold continues to flirt with sub-1200 levels.

USD, treasuries, and gold hinting, regardless of what Yellen says, that higher rates are on the horizon.
