Futures Test Friday Highs As Avalanche Of PMIs Begins With China Beat
Good is 'good' it seems once again - though we do remember just a few short weeks ago when the world and his pet rabbit were hanging on every word from the Chinese leaders and their next epic embarkation on the stimulus highway. Not necessary now though; as HSBC's China Manufacturing PMI confirms Friday's NBS version that China is 'expanding' once again (though marginally). The highest print for the HSBC number in 14 months - makes perfect sense given the way the world is behaving with world trade collapsing and the mercantilist nation's key customer (that would be the USA) seeing spending slowing. Nevertheless, it's enough to run to late Friday highs in S&P 500 futures and flush out those nascent stops. We just hope this 'expansionary' print is not a false hope as it was in October 2011... An evening full of PMIs has begun (see below)...
And S&P 500 futures knocked off that late-day spike high...
as EURUSD jerks back up to 6-week highs at 1.3047...
PMI Tracker - 0000ET So Far 9 losers and 19 winners... with 15 now contracting versus 19 contracting last month (we will update as the evening progresses)
UPDATE: ES leaking back off highs...

Here are several factors that may have pressured down of $gold and silver prices during the month http://stks.co/gGDe
I am freaking sick and freaking tired of anybody paying attention to any data coming from Chinese gov or coming from a bank who's business model is based on drug dealing and money laundering.
perfect comment
if you exclude the word Chinese

a picture is now worth only two words......... bend over
“We just hope this 'expansionary' print is not a false hope as it was in October 2011”
Oh mercy sakes, no.. This time is different.
Exactly, and taking information from the likes of HSBC is even worse than listening to our own "Squid" for investing advice.
But not forgetting of course...the Chinese....

I'm listening to it right now.
Thx a lot
Me to/ if it's good enough for EKM, then it's good enough for me!
Funny thing is I'm watching that [Leonardo DiCaprio] flick called, " Catch Me if You Can"...
That is a fantastic movie.
seems that John McAfee may have given the slip to the Belizean constabulary

guess PRC propaganda is back being better than ours.
This is what happened this time last year when the PMI prints (late 2011 early 2012) created the 2012 meltup. Oct/Nov correction was stopped in it's tracks after the HFT inspired Obama victory sell off.
A inflation/re-inflation trade that has been constant for over a year is in effect, the DXY has had 4 attempts out of 5 days to break 80. It just broke it.
Rally on, possibly through to 2013...unless chaos throws a grenade. Otherwise...
Exactly.
If fits to my own definition of the market:
A PERPETUAL EFFORT TO LURE SUCKERS.
That's what this is, the Nth effort to lure suckers
Check out the Shanghai index...lol I rest my case.
I hope a guillotine is placed out side the White House and the Fed...in anticipation of a million plus Americans very, very f*cking angry, while they get boned Wall Street gets paid.
The average american has long since forgotten about the stock market.
Madoff did pretty good for what, 20 years or so with his ponzi? He did not have a money printer. What's to say this can't go on for a hell of a lot longer than any of us ever imagined. Or it could all end tomorrow. How fked up is that.
It can go as long as Barack Fidel Obama orders the Fed to provide free flow of cash to the primary dealers to buy stocks until............no stocks are left for trading.
However, as I am currently reading Margin of Safety from Seth Klarman, Seth calls this situation as: Roach Motel which I had to look it up, it's "insect trap".
In plain words: Primary Dealers are forced to Get in, but have NO WAYS to get out. Primary Dealers are the ultimate suckers.
My wording is: FORCED BUYING, but I havent' seen any better description than the one from Seth Klarman, and remember, it was writen in 1991.
Of course, but, they need only to look at this market and compare it with the factory of the world (China) to know that they are getting super gamed by the Fed/Obama and Wall Street. You can't have the producer of consumer products (China) with a market that f*cked up and a market that doesn't produce anything (America) rise; in fact US stocks are (in valuation sense) are extremely overpriced.
If you are poor and the stock market rises, that's Wiemar right there. Most people will get that.
Many investors don't have a very clear idea as to how much of that great Chinese production either owned by or contracted to US corporates. There is much more profit for Apple in FoxCon's producion than FC profit. That is true for many of the valuable products made in China. This supports margin in the US. It's the input price squeeze that is most risky for US equities. Oh, crap I just started looking at the SNORG tees add again. Better get some sleep....
Hard to imagine the logic here. But let me take a shot. If the fiscal cliff is going to be gone over that would mean more Bernanke printing. That can be the only reason the dollar continues to slide. Now imagine the long term consequence of this action. How can the market can go higher from here is beyond me because the US is looking at another credit downgrade if printing more money is the answer to the fiscal cliff.
agree but 3/4 of the "markets" gains in last 3 yrs was made by the night thefts like tonight...
The credit downgrade hasn't happened yet, and likely isn't priced into the market, but eventually it will be. Until then, play the game.
The "market" can go infinitely higher from here in terms of fiat, but in terms of gold or other commodities, that's not happening in the foreseeable future.
Not if and when the US credit ratings gets hit again.
That's assuming that credit ratings prevent currency debasement.
Great comment/ heaven forbid the moment of enlightenment!
HSBC hahahahahahah
China is a corrupt/debt ridden, behemoth dump and we have so much faith in their PMI, just check out that super rally:

FTW
This train to NOWHERE, is on full retarded , El Capitan is dead at his helm, " ridiculousness"...
What a bunch of bullshit.
What a bunch of cotton candy.
Fuck the markets, fuck China, fuck the FED.
when bonner and obama open their mouth next the market will retest friday low. when they close their mouth the market will go higher, and on and on. The market is a joke.
it will go on as long as people are complicit with interest rates. at some point witn the market grinding higher people will demand higher rates. with the debt ballooning at the same time there will be an endpoint. 20 trillion? 30 trillion? It's coming. Timmy knows it too. but he is still begging and pleading to lift that ceiling.
"The Matrix is a system, Neo. That system is our enemy. But when you're inside, you look around, what do you see? Businessmen, teachers, lawyers, carpenters. The very minds of the people we are trying to save. But until we do, these people are still a part of that system and that makes them our enemy. You have to understand, most of these people are not ready to be unplugged. And many of them are so inured, so hopelessly dependent on the system, that they will fight to protect it."
I rest my case.
Hail the suckers.
And yet the one country that should be up on this news is hovering near 52 week lows. Looks like not even China believes their own number.
Chinese. Keynesian always wong.
Interesting, it was just occurring to me as I was scrolling down the list that all this macro-economic and micro-economic knowledge that is constantly being transferred from country to country with such efficiency as the internet allows may result in a more robust and coordinated recovery than ever before (should there be one). Perhaps this is a universal sense of awareness coming to life on a level which up to this point has been only been maturely manifested in things like facebook and internet forums, etc. Yes, the neurons are connecting, in my opinion. The ability to tap the will of the worldly mind via the internet will lead to globally acceptable resolutions, by the merit of their derivation. This might not be skynet, it is more like "people-net", but it is the future and I welcome it.
China's got to be the biggest myth out there.
The China Myth.
Yeah. More poison dogfood.
zfinx, who do you absolutely trust?? the program, the operators, the vote cast on diebold, the BLS, FBI,CIA, NSA?
tapping the will of the world while the elite sit on thier thumbs and add no control ?? I trust none of it. people -net is a laugh..try Netted People. or Jail net.
some bids coming in on the USD, that and the Shanghai should be freaking out people ( this time last year start of the PMIs it began to rally - somewhat).
Bulls could be slapped down if that get all euphoric next few weeks.
Chump you will get a dip when Asia(Australia New Zealand) closes/ not China and Hong Kong... Then Europe will ramp up for 4-5 hours and sell off just in front of the New York open...
