Risk-ES Spread Closes, Reopens Ahead Of FOMC
After the ES-RISK (Rates, both absolute and butterflys, FX and Commodities) divergence yesterday brought the spread to a 10 point-wide equivalent, the subsequent lack of positive response to the Greek developments in futures once again closed the spread like clockwork. Well, the 3 day regressed chart (for apples to apples) shows that stocks are once again overeager in advance of the Fed meeting, which leads to yet another convergence opportunity between the two trade legs.

Groundhog day.
Can someone please explain to me what this means in lay-man's terms?
Get some!
Short this Rally Hard!! This biatch is going down.. lol
seems like no one on CNBC can think of anything the bernank can say that would make them sell stocks...hmmmm....another great contrary signal?
Just waiting for them to trot out the "decoupling" BS then we'll have come full circle.
Dont expect an immediate sell off tho, we may limp along till EOM, to both sucker in the bagholders and let the MFs post some decent numbers.
If CBNS was reallying providing their viewers some honest education/service...they would track this spread in realtime and post it at the top with their other market indicators.
Can someone here take the time to explain what this spread indicates, and the inverse to it...??
Tia...

What exactly is the .esbasket U index. and how can I arbitrage this!
The ESBASKET is Tyler's predefined set of risk assets (rates and rates butterfly, FX and gold and oil) which, typically, move right in line with the broad futures of the S&P index which is the ES(U1 for the exact exp date).
As mentioned in the post, stocks got 'overeager' w/r/t to the risk basket and so the arb available was to long the risk basket and short stocks (the ES). Clearly a trade that, as posted many times here before, deems quite profitable.
I haven't the slightest idea what this post is about! I trade ES and other futures all day long, but this is something I know zilch about.

Is this nearest-month Emini S&P futures contract price versus current market price of the S&P 500?

Oh cool, thanks. Multi variable regression ... dependent is the index forecast. I do this for a living just not for stocks :)
AUD, JPY, 2-10 yield spread what did I miss TY?
2s10s30s, CL and GC, EURUSD
Well, if you want to see loony toon, then just check IYR (real estate ETF). That's going to have to come back to earth.
Correct me if I am wrong but did I not just hear the FOMC say "no more money until the Russell gets back to at least its 2010 lows". Sooner or later the "plunge protection team" has to run out of money, and then... Someday someone will uncover the account that money has been coming from and we will see just how outrageously manipulated this market was.
Hell, there's probably hundreds of accounts to obfuscate this action.
Think Enron times infinity.
Hopefully there is a sniper in the room when Bernankenstein speaks at his conference!
Gotta love this trade! Thanks again ZH.
