Tyler - where is the followup piece on VWAP referenced on Sunday? I was checking the blackberry constantly yesterday, did I miss it?
Oct. Producer Price Index: +0.3% vs. +0.6% expected, -0.6% last month. Core PPI: -0.6% vs. +0.1% expected, -0.1% last month - So crude goods explosing m/m whcih can mean only one of three things: (1) more firing to preserve margins or (2) margin compression or (3) inflation and further tax on middle class
PPI print comes in below expectation and yet: fresh/dry vegtables +24% m/m, eggs +9% m/m, melons and fruits +7% m/m, shellfish +5% m/m, dairy +3% m/m, gas up 2% m/m -- but good thing those light trucks are down 5% m/m.
Crude goods: crude foddstuffs +5.2% m/m, wheat/corn up 7/9% , milk +8% m/m. Non food: cotton +9% m/m, nat gas +16% m/m, petro +6% m/m, iron ore flat m/m (although trading back above 100/mt out of Aussy), scrap prices down (not good indicator either).
Wow, great news today, just like yesterday!
BTW, at some point this morning the Euro/USD was down by an amazing 1.5%. I though it was the beginning of something. But the markets seem to have learned how to keep floating...
Don't worry babe, if you fall I will save myself.
(Ford Fairlane, per the really funny Spanish translation).
Man, I kinda need to shout about this crazy market. The big stock of the day in Spain is Sacyr, a brick'n'mortar company which just presented a loss of 600M€. Then UBS rerated it from "sell" to "neutral". Gosh!
Gimme the blue pill!!!
