Japanese Stocks End Morning 'Dead-Cat-Bounce' Session Near Lows

Tyler Durden's picture




 

After getting within 40 points of the 20% correction level, the Nikkei 225 - aided by a 60 pip ramp in JPY - staged a solid 400 point rampapalooza off the pre-market lows. But... JGBs started to sell off in a hurry as equities surged and something had to be done. By the close of the morning session, TOPIX is back at its opening levels -1% from the close, Nikkei 225 -0.5% (down 250 from the earlier highs), JGBs are unchanged, and JPY is practically unchanged, Japanese corporate credit spreads are notably wider (worse).

 

 

 

and the Nikkei 225 bounced off the 20% correction in pre-open trading but is fading fast now...

 

 

Whocouldanode? Well, it seems credit markets did?

Gold's too cheap for TSHTF, TSHTF won't happen while gold is so cheap

Disagree. Controlling the price of gold is REALLY about controlling the people's perceptions regarding how much monetary abuse the system can absorb before it collapses. Controlling the price of gold is REALLY communicating that government balance sheets are archaic, because money printing is like MAGIC, and it is also MORAL. This is what people now REALLY believe, whether it is a consciously or subconsciously held belief. Therefore, the price of gold no longer functions as a warning sign. It took very careful social and political engineering over decades to achieve this mass delusion, and achieved it they have. I would have never believed it possible until I woke up out of my gold-bug coma about 2-3 years ago, and accepted the truth that there will be no more world left to spend gold/silver in, once it goes parabolic. The "price" of gold and silver will now only go parabolic COINCIDENT with the collapse that is coming.

 "the truth that there will be no more world left to spend gold/silver in"

I would rather have it than not have it. Your fiat currency will be more useless. At least you can trade gold along with food and alcohol. Suddenly people are going to realise that true wealth is a roof over their head, trustworthy close personal and communitee friends and food which they can readily harvest themselves. All material things, other than tools will be worthless. There is no other asset, apart from arsenal, that is a suitable store for wealth in times of chaos. Gold (provided you have your health) will be wealth. End of story.

Japan puts its pants on one leg at a time.  Except when Japan puts its pants on, it prints gold records.

  Laughing My FUCKING ass of. When is the last time you saw a G-7 currency candle pounded down 300 pips with a +AAA rating?

  The Australian $ is being pummeled, and the ponzi GBP is being proxied! I'm shorting the HELL out of gbp/aud!

Keep alert. The nearly 100% correlation between the Nikkei and the yen seems to be fading fast. Interesting things happen when the correlations fail.

1/10th of a penny more and the NE Ohio gas signs are going to start with a 4. You'll see cutbacks like never before. $4 gas at the start of June, it's over for whats left of the economy.

At least the exploding Fords are bullish for new car sales. Imagine if one catches fire at a gas station and blows a Sheets sky high. Good for at least $.40 in rbob.

If it were a TV show, I'd be laughing my ass off. Too bad it's real and I'm taking it up the ass.

 We know what the G-20 conference was about.  Lock the yen in a(98-102 range) and let the aussie devalue (93-parity range).

But can they control it?  AUD support is resting on a flimsy house of cards.  Do we get an undesireable repeat of '08 AUD action instead?

I'm shocked at ZH's insensitivity.  Wouldn't "dead mammal bounce" be more politically correct, and not offend (nor scare) kittens everywhere? :)

I thought it had more to do with the urban legend as to how the frisbee was invented (hint:  feline rigor mortis).  In any event, we parrots are quite pleased to discuss dead cats, even at this hour of the morning ...
