Cumulative ES Volume Now 25% Below Average

Tyler Durden's picture




 

No fundamentals driving the market, just robots correlating tick for tick with the EURJPY. Exhibit A: cumulative ES volume is now 696k contracts below the 2.654 mm average through this point in the day, or 25% lower. Look for volume to pick up as a recently decoupled DJIA catches up with the S&P.

And here is where someone lost patience with this directionless market and took a sizable dump.

Please pick me, please please pick my debt. I have a very nice mortgage on a 3 year old single family home that I plan of defaulting on within 3 months. Please China, buy my debt.

Pretty please with ice cream on top? With sprinkles and a cherry?

I wouldn't read too much into this. The article says Lebanon "rarely opens fire unless the planes fly within range of its guns." So if the planes were  within range, anti-aircraft fire would have been the expected response. If not, it was a meaningless gesture. Probably they just felt like shooting at something even with no chance of hitting it.

Hmmm- maybe not - maybe the PPT is offline - why? Because there is now a good excuse for why the mkt sold off - why the oil spill of course. So may as well take the opportunity to bleed equities some. No one will blame wall street of the Fed - no - its because of the oil spill!

From what I can determine,  these constant currency interventions are really losing there gusto. Last few times they gunned the Euro, it was what, 12 hours or som before the effects wore off and the decline resumed.

It's to the point where interventions are good for a three hour nut job, before the decline resumes. Did they not know that eventually they may have little to no effect at all?

 

I love it when central bankers shoot themselves in the foot, or in this case, blow their foot right off.

I don't know about Yahoo, but Google Finance commentary is usually pretty low quality. Maybe they go bored and found some other way to be asses.

I talk mostly yahoo, like a month ago you had news posts every second, now posts sometimes stay on top that are 1 or 2 hours old.

Or they are going or they don't know what's happening and are frozen like a deer looking into the headlights of a truck.

negative news are not allowed, but the question is can the robots and terminators continue the market game forlikeever? that would be soo kewl

the real stimulus would then be printing gazillions of money and dropping it from helicopters across the country and pass a law that every citizen has a right to like a full case of cash once a month, that would get the economy going (at least till the chinese flip out)

Josh Lipton over at Minyanville says Tech Execs are bailing out...

Corporate Insiders Sell Out of Tech

The corporate insiders working at our country’s big Tech powerhouses noodled on their own stakes in the companies they run and made a decision in May: time to sell.

Alan Newman, publisher of the Crosscurrents newsletter, recently checked in on the top issues comprising the PowerShares QQQ (QQQQ), an ETF that tracks the Nasdaq 100. Holdings in the exchange-traded fund include Apple (AAPL), Microsoft (MSFT), Google (GOOG), Oracle (ORCL), and Intel (INTC).

The last time Newman checked was back in January 2009, he says, and the NASDAQ was already well on the way toward the bottom, down 41% from the 2007 highs

Okay, so what’s it like now?

Worse.

What a bogus market...sell hard at the close, scare the weak hands right before the MONSTER JOBS report on Friday. Too frigging predictable. By the way, all you doom & gloomers who don't see fundamentals improving should go read the latest ISM report. Pay attention to New Orders, Production and Backlog of Orders. Even Employment is growing. The small dip in Inventories is because manufacturers can't keep up with demand so they're taking stuff off shelves. Wait till Friday morning...MONSTER JOBS report...500,000+ in payrolls. We are going to turn the corner here in a huge way.

Leo - I hate to tell you this - but you really should just stick with advocating Chinese solar stocks. The fundamentals still stink, despite the ISM report, and you of all people should know that this supposed improved economy happened thanks to Barry and 2 trillion of our tax dollars.

You conveniently forget to mention a huge chunk of that job growth occurred because the Federal government hired temp workers (read: Census) on our dime.

Why can't they keep up with demand?

a) Because they can't hire fast enough

b) Because they can't afford materials

c) Because they can't get CREDIT for b & c

d) all of the above
