Bonds Bid & Stocks Skid Ahead Of Payrolls
Another day of 'spot the difference' between AUDJPY and the S&P 500 saw an odd overnight spike in stocks fade soon after the US open, bounce higher (again) at the European close then oscillate around VWAP (with the ever-ready-to-please 330 RAMP). Stocks remain red for the year and still the worst start since 2008. "Most Shorted" names continue to outperform. Copper and WTI crude were notable underperformers (both ending an oddly similar -1.75% on the week so far) with oil rebounding modestly off 8-month lows into the close. VIX and credit markets were quiet - ending practically unch ahead of tomorrow's NFP. CAD weakness continues (-2% on the week) but the USD leaked lower to unch on the week. Treasuries rallied 2-3bps (and the curve flattened very modestly) with 2Y unch and 10Y -3bps.
Spot The Difference
Stocks remain red for the year...
But on the week, "most shorted" names are significantly outperforming.... (squeezed each morning as usual)
Copper and oil have recoupled on the week (coincidentally) as gold ans silver limped higher on the day...
Credit markets have been flat for the last few days but hedgers were clearly worried early on...
Treasuries rallied all afternoon from the European close...
USD ended the week so far Unch - even after the vol today around Draghi's comments... CAD continues to get hammered...
Charts: Bloomberg

I came here for the BONUS CHART!!!
AA after hours bonus chart?
I miss the guy who always posted some lingerie babe at the end of his chart extravaganzas. He had generally pretty good taste.
Bonus Bonus Chart !!!?!!?!?!!!!
Thats it! The Rebels are there!
The real bright one's make money on the way up and down, so now the shorting bit takes over until this baby tanks over time. 2014 is a time for popping bubbles slowly as taper continues.
Not to worry, stocks rise 90.346% of the time after the fake paytoll data. And slver and gold fall 93.568% of time after the data.
BTFD. And you should have sold your silver and gold.
You will regret that you did not buy TWTR today.
I regret the very existence of TWTR.
Gold and silver are up, but my gold and silver mining stocks are down. What the shit is this?
a) because they're mining stocks and
b) because tomorrow's NFP and everybody knows what that means.
CAD's dropping like a pink sheet penny stock in the 'dump' phase of a pump-and-dump...
What can the narrative become now that good news and bad news are both factored in?
Easy. "Factored in" becomes good news. Or bad news. Does it matter?
EURO skyrockets ( up 0.2 % )
A few hours ago ZH told us EURO had 'tumbled' cuz it was down ( 0.07% )

First they destroyed the ZAR then the INR and now after the AUD.
Keep talking folks, you will only drive more people to the AUD.
CNY is still holding better than USD.
DOW keeps going to the MOON, and probably will keep going given that FED-FIAT is unlimited and INFINITE.
The worst performer of all is GOLD MINERS. hmmmmm
I'm surprised that the SGD is getting hit hard like the AUD, thats a sad day.

Uncle Sam and his ability to reach out and kill any baby or woman or child worldwide is the clear winner, with nobody in sight to stand in his way.
USD/DOW to the moon.
"let me say this Gentlemen...fear...for lack of a better word...is good." No? That wasn't the line in the movie? then why is everyone so afraid then?
the market is going higher before it goes any lower, expect 1855 tomorrow on the number.
