Fed Monetizes $5.2 Billion In 2016-2017 USTs

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Today's POMO is over, as the Fed monetizes $5.19 billion in 11 bond CUSIPs. The Submitted to Accepted ratio plunges once again, this time to 4.6x,
as the Fed is desperate to absorb ever more of what the PDs put to it. The money has already flowed through risk assets, and now the traditional POMO fade begins (although we have yet to hear if the SPY buy ins are proceeding as State Street has demanded, or if that wild card will still be pulled later today). The next thing to look for on the central bank intervention front is imminent BOJ intervention, now that the USDJPY is back to the critical 83 threshold level.

Straight up today, zero retrace, yesterday straight down little to know retrace.  If your not in position at cash close your crap out of luck. If you wait for all economic data to be released before taking a position there is little to know gain to be had. Bottom line here is all economic data is being leaked and Goldman is front running this. There simply is no other logical explanation.

NO, these are not stupid men. We would be colossally stupid to ever entertain the notion that we're dealing with incompetence or idiocy. That entire concept is the ultimate in planted psyops, to believe that this is all simply misguided folly.

After all, to believe this is all deliberate and by design would boil the blood. But to believe it was stupidity will actually offer hope that other smarter individuals might come along and fix this mess. Thus we have no real reason to revolt and make the change ourselves because Underdog is just around the corner.

Don't play their game of wait until it's too late.

Good point, but where do we draw the line in the realistic expectation that these are not fallible men with quasi-omnipotent abilities?

Cognitive Dissonance's picture

I submit that it isn't a question of drawing the line for that line was crossed many years, even decades ago. We're simply in denial about it and the proof is on display on ZH and many other blogs on a dialy basis where the Ponzi is exposed for all to see.

The real line that must be crossed is within. When will we accept that the line has already been crossed and when will we find the courage to do something about it?

Very good point C.D. Given the amount of time and resources our leaders have had at their disposal, these plays and more in advance have already been anticipated.

No reason to believe the end game is complete failure. Wild cards can and have always been manipulated.

Desensitization application begins with the media.

"We're not going to monetize the debt," Mr. Bernanke declared flatly, stressing that Congress needs to start making plans to bring down the deficit to avoid such a dangerous dilemma for the Fed.

 

Was he under oath when he 'declared' this to congress?  Can we prosecute this lying bastard.

Folks at the ECB must be soiling their pants. At 1%, their rate is 4x the Fed's and infinitely larger than the BOJ's 0%.

The MSM was all over BOJ's "cut in rates" - from .1 to .0%?! I think the bigger news was that they would be buying stocks in their little fund. 

$5 billion's a relatively large POMO...

You can't fight the Fed for now. Equities going up, dollar down and therefore gold/commodities up up up.  The only thing that can stop this is OIL over $100 per barrel.   If the Fed loses control of the oil market, that could truly derail their party

Why do the corporations even bother to give quarterly reports anymore? It's not like any of this information really has any impact on the markets. The only thing that matters anylonger is what comes out of Ben Bernanke's mouth. Yeah him, the same guy that said we didn't have a housing bubble in 06 and the same guy that has studied the great depression so much he is determined to cause one. Kinda reminds me of a book I read as a child, The Pied Piper...

Somebody do the math.  POMO will not be stopped and gold will increase more or less at the rate it has been going.  When will it stop? Tell me what stops this? A reviving economy? Employment report on Friday that is Leo's dreamed off 300,000+ print?  How can that happen?

I think of late the wheels come loose on the roller coaster quite quietly and it may not be noticed at first - put another way, I think I heard a soft cracking noise coming from that vast shelf of snow hanging up on that mountain. Look at the lack of reaction to Ireland.  Hit the snooze button.
