Japanese Stocks Open Down 3%, Yen Spikes, Bonds Greatly Unrotated

Tyler Durden's picture




 

UPDATE: JPY weakening rapidly back to US day-session lows (101.25), equities rising modestly (still down ~2%), JGBs tumbling back to unchanged. The correlation is in motion now so the BoJ will have to decide what they want...

...And cue Amari, Kuroda, or Abe proclaiming that it's all under control. Japanese stocks (the broader TOPIX index) are now down 3% with financials and utilities getting monkey-hammered. JPY is surging back under the Maginot line of 101.00 to its strongest since the big-break-of 100.00 day three weeks ago. JGBs are rallying (so that's one thing) but are half-way to being halted limit-up. But - with the rally in JGBs, hedgers are scrambling to protect gains as JGB implied vol surges back over 48% (its highest in over a month). So, apart from that...

what could possibly be surprising to a Tyler about this action.  Stocks getting hammered money flows to bonds.... Is this a surprise?  Liquidity issues, cash being repatriated again, is there something surprising here?

Preliminary tests: Letters to New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg contained ricin
Published: May 29, 2013

Mayor Michael Bloomberg

NEW YORK - Authorities say preliminary tests reveal the presence of ricin in letters containing anonymous threats to New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg.The letters were opened in New York City on Friday and in Washington, D.C. Sunday by the director of Mayors Against Illegal Guns.
Civilian personnel who came in contact with the letters in both cities are not experiencing symptoms. Members of the NYPD Emergency Service Unit are being examined for minor symptoms of ricin exposure, which have since subsided.Officials say the letter writer threatened Bloomberg and referenced the debate on gun laws.The FBI Joint Terrorism Task Force and the NYPD Intelligence Division are investigating the threats.

Ricin/Anthrax laced letters are the biggest bullshit false-flags ever. If some nut (or .gov) were truly determined to bump off ol' Turdberg, he'd be on ice already.

Sadly, YouTube has hit algo bullshit level, and I can't give you the "I cannot confirm or deny said activities..." speech by Sheen as a covert operative in Apocalypse Now.

This will do.

 

p.s. We do see how info smog and data flooding are drowning the decent sources, it's not clever, it's not funny and it won't slow us down. It just means that YouTube no longer gets used (and trust me: linking to direct pirate bay excerpts is just as easy, we don't do it as a measure of faith in the mainstream, not any other reason. Take your DMCA notices and fuck yourself; you're dangerously close to moving from "annoying" to "threat". And no, this isn't "Anonymous" or those fools, it's the onion).


Here's a message to the spooks.

when are we going to get that big drop in the market like japan is getting now?

japans market is beyond rigged as are all markets, but at least its able to go down occasionaly. here in the u.s, its gotten so pathetic that todays loss of 106 pts on dow, and 11 pts on s&p is considered a fucking sell off, when they were not even 1 pct moves.

 

also, when was the last time we had back to back 150 plus pt losses on dow? 

 

i want blood on wall st, these bankers must be put away once and for all. only thing that may expose them is another crash. let it happen so we can clear the poison out of market and recover the right way.

I too am stupid.

But one possibility is the bond bubble continues to burst.

To prevent higher rates QE must be increased.

Stocks rally in nominal terms.

Bursting bond bubble says inflation.

Gold and silver rocket to new highs.

Good analysis here by investor I know and respect.

With flash crashes evident throughout markets for several years already and devalued currencies becoming the rule rather than the exception, it's absurd to imagine that all the OTB stock players and funds are still drinking the Kool Aid - how does debt get solved with more debt? If it didn't work for the bankrupt homeowner or the bankrupt revolving credit consumer, how does this work for governments and central banking gangsters? I'm sure these sociopath banksters can keep things afloat for surprisingly long periods of time, but something has got to give, and it's looking like something is finally giving.

A bond vigilante has set this off and the hedge funds are now running japan into oblivion.  Very curious what QEnext will do, they cannot prop this and even with Japan directly buying using pension funds.  The losses must be massive.  This is two prong attack on bonds and stocks.

Their banks will crack soon.
