Spot The Intraday (Lack Of) Difference
Today's equity market exuberance is being pitched as due to to Asian strength... We hate to burst that bubble but... The Nikkei 225 actually fell after GDP was released; JGBs rallied (well that doesn't fit with the meme of Japanese growth); Japanese GDP missed expectations (oops); Japanese trade balance was the 3rd worst on record; Chinese imports missed expectations (as copper demand fell since liquidity has eased and less need for cash-for-copper deals). So what is the catalyst for today's S&P 500 rally... behold the EURJPY cross rate...
"It's the carry, stupid!"
