Dead-Cat-Bounce Dies As Nikkei Drops Over 400 Points From US Highs
Mixed data from Japan did nothing to excite and while markets oscillated for a few hours after the US close (and subsequent pile-driver from AMZN), they are now unwinding most of the dead-cat-bounce seen during the US day-session. Japanese stocks are back at fresh 2-month lows with the Nikkei 225 under 15,000 (down over 400 points from day-session highs) and testing debt-ceiling lows. JPY strength has driven USDJPY back below 102.50 and therefore US futures are re-tumbling - down 14 points from US day-session highs. EM FX is drifting lower. With China about to dark for a week for lunar new year, this could get interesting very fast.
Dow futures are pressing towards pre-Taper lows... and Japan has lost support back to the debt-ceiling lows...
Of course, it's all about the JPY... for Japanese stocks (though the correlations are started to creak - which will be a huge worry for Abe)
and the same for US futures...

It's Okay satoshi911 and bonestar will tell us what's really going on
Just go back to monkey-hammering gold and silver.....I can wait.
The four words that will really kill this fiat money Hydra....
"Yen Carry Trade Unwind".....
When that really begins, in earnest, especially with the "rate" mechanisms seeming to have gone "apoplectic", it is the underlying tsunami of yen that has been running around through the fingers of globally connected douchbags for 66 years now that will really kill japan and then the rest of the world.
Rising Sun, Setting Yen....

I absolutely one hundred percent agree with this. "We have reached peak ludicrous."
It's too bad there was no to ticker symbol BARF the President couldn't have rocketed higher in the SOTU so we all could "get the joke."
Nay...even our "rulers" have fooled themselves this time.
"You" clearing a thousand percent in a day is not paying for anything. How anyone could imagine Wall Street not "getting" that is simply my ability to understand.
In effect money...public monies..."currency" if you will...is not an "insider trading mechanism" you MORONS.
It is as simple as "whether you get your money back that you have loaned out is your problem...not We the People's."
In other words if its all about the bailouts...what in fact is even the function of Government at all?
The government is TP, TP for the bung.
DAMMIT.....I really liked that cat too.
But hey, since you didn't built that heater they could care less how much you pay. In there mind you can always go back to heating with wood and leave them out of the equation. Can you say Cha Ching?
speaking of death:
Russell Investments Chief Economist found dead at the side of a highway. Death appeared to be a suicide.
http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2014-01-30/russell-investments-chief-econo...
i'm guessing his 'problems at work' has something to do with failed econometric models.
moar banksters jumping...canaries in the mines....
That's really sad to see again.
And I haven't seen a banker neighbor for several months now. Just his wife driving their beeemer POS now and then.
There seems to be a general lack of curiosity as to why someone would choose to kill themselves by jumping of a 50 foot cliff. Death being something less than certain given the young girl who's chute failed open last week is up and walking today. Sounds like more of a toss than a jump.
3/4 this week.
Might be a pandemic.I live in hope.
When we see the banking top cockroaches jump, then we know to go to the bomb shelter.
satoshi911 is a hoot!
but Will History Repeat
U.S. stocks are on pace to close a volatile January in the red, after posting the best yearly gain in 16 years. http://bit.ly/1iS4a8v
There is that saying on wall street…. “As January goes, so goes the year?”
I guess it is just a saying, but we shall see.
The market has taken a bit of a dive, however today we got back in our sideways range as you can see below.
Japan's in a deflationary depression. America's in a deflationary depression. You say tomato. I say tomatoe. Let's call the whole thing off.
It's not deflation when only the things you want are going down while the things you need are going up.
Personally, I could use a bit of deflation to make my savings go further. Wiping out a few debt junkies in the process would be a good thing.
Lots of things "could get real interesting" lately but my bet is tomorrow morning US stocks rip and PMs get monkey hammered just like every other day is bizarro world
"US futures are re-tumbling - down 14 points from US day..."
Since when did 14 points become a "tumble." C'mon Tylers, just buy FB and all your worries will go away.
LOOK OUT BITCHES, THAR SHE BLOWSS
Down a nice 16 right now in the spoo.
Aside from the BS that will probably rally these fuckers back into the green for the day, I really am enjoying this volatility. Very refreshing for the last 4 years of slow grind Bernie.
Yep. Until one day it does not.
deflationary forces, yea even with all this fiat awash ,is at play for these non essential things in life called gold. oh, not hip on the manipulation. but the reality with many stuffs will get hit.
it about demand in a depression. wait a tad for the "great woosh". it will be fast and worth taking a day off just to buy assets and gold will be one of them.
JMFO
If this keeps up I won't even be able to get my fat ass through the door soon.
can you see your feet?
Anyone who's met a clown can see his feet, the better question is why did YOU have to bend over for him?
FinCen issued some really promising Bitcoin guidance today. Looks like the US is going to take a pretty reasonable approach.

No doublt it iwll be a "reasonable" approach just like the persecutions of Bradley Manning and Edward Snowden.
The operative term for you to understand is "trust no one".
Looks like the US is going to take a pretty reasonable approach.
If this is not a big fucking warning sign re the whole bitcoin/vc emergence then you're not paying attention.
[edit/add: +1 for posting the links/info]
Hmmm. Most unfair dying systems are overturned by villagers with pitchforks. So, this may take a while with the sheep getting new MyRAs.
the sheep don't even know they are sheep - they probably never will...
The Chinese holiday "Year of the Drag On" is upon us.
Patience Grasshoppers.
Yeah, tech. support for my new video card non-existent for five days.
At least they get more than one day off over there.
the recovery is alive! in India!
Oh yea, that six foot one.
its actually the Chinese year of the horse: ie, not to be mistaken for a Bull
My belief is that the FED has a policy in place to hold positions in the markets to prevent the fall of the stock indexes. Since the policy is under National Security you will never hear of it publicly. The reason I believe this is from watching the indexes before and after December 2011.
Bernanke ChairSatan of the past let everyone know that stocks were not over-valued. What he really meant to say was: Buy The Fucking Dip.
ABSOLUTELY!
But they forgot one "teeny thing." If all of the American labor force is now expendable...what do we need Government for?
Haven't "we" (meaning Capitalsim) already outsourced that too?
Do NOT ask, what your gvt can do for you, but what you can do for your gvt.
No, there's a pill for that now.
Veteran NHK business reporter quits after bosses tell him to drop topic of nuclear power during Tokyo elections:
http://ajw.asahi.com/article/behind_news/social_affairs/AJ201401300075
For about 20 years, Toru Nakakita, a professor of economics at Toyo University, had been in charge of the “Business Outlook” segment of the “Radio Asa Ichiban” show aired weekdays from 5 a.m. to 8 a.m. on NHK Radio Daiichi.
Nakakita said his original manuscript for the Jan. 30 program pointed out the increase in costs for the resumption of nuclear reactor operations, saying “damages to be paid in the wake of a nuclear plant accident are extraordinarily high.”
However, when he showed the manuscript to a program director on the day before the scheduled broadcast, Nakakita was asked to change the theme.
He said that NHK told him not to talk about “nuclear issues during the Tokyo gubernatorial election campaign period.” The election is scheduled for Feb. 9.
LOL!
"Thou shalt not mention the skeleton in the closet, or the Father in lingerie!"
OoWe just monkey hammer to get money
When we threaten the emerging markets with penalties clauses. They fucking manipulate all floating currencies. This is what is happening to all central bankruptcy.
What the Hell?
Did Godzilla just make landfall and smoke some tanks and jets?
We can only hope so!!!
Just relax and watch the show unwind. DC is broken, they will find new ways to support out of control spending.
well it won't be with a return to the gold standard that's fer sure!
Not in your short life time, but soon enough for me.
excuse me ZH if I missed this ... can only read so much each day as must attend to biz...
...point: sorry if Tylers have pointed this out. Methinks PRChina and 'new' regime is playing a crafty game of controlled misleading F**k U to Abe and 2nd USA. Via plants in jornolist western .news. media China is calling attention to their recognizeable credit issues ..... but this is LKabuki theatre .... it is too obvious. So point if it is so obvious? Force safe haven bids into JYen and USD (and Euro) while they stage manage a 'credit' collapse to punish the non-inner circle corny capitalist prineclings (sophisticated regime change clean-out is one way to look at this...)
Bonus comment: Whatever MyRA becomes as it is not even officially presented yet........it clearly is an attempt at a sheeple 'bail-in' in some form or another .... sure seems US Tresury directed. Is this a sop for China doing a last round of Treasury buys in 2013?
I feel there is some legitimate basis for the Abe-light-up .... Japan is getting kicked as it heads down ...... with a smile no less
just read some other stuff that essentially underscores above...
China craftily messing with Abenomics......a dangerous game maybe ...but well played one has to admit ...with bonus extras in terms of USA, India and emerging mkts (excepting Russkies) ...maybe they modeled in some benefit via EU
And remember ... this is being done while the US Federal Reserve is in transition to a new Chairwoman ....all hail the non-ideological new consensus maker of Team 44 governors
S&P will be flirting with 1776 give or take for the rest of the year.
It's Groundhog Year. Now why does 1776 ring a bell?
Dead Yen walking!

Yesterday's looking like an island reversal in a downtrend for the SPY. Hope you all bought gold yesterday.

Is the Final Federal Fleecing Finally Finished? FFFFFuk Sake, lets hope its the last one for the Regimes/Banksters responsilble.
our only hope is that the utter incompetence and pettiness of the usa congress will prove useful at some point in the near future.
We haven't even begun to bust out the Qualitative Easing yet, we's gots tos finishs offs the Quantitative Easings first at 10 bills a month. So now even you can do the math.
While we know past performance does not predict future.
Whats your true gut feeling about the possibility that this is "final"?
The ONLY option they have is to push it till the wheels fall off and it bursts into flames.
Well, they have exhausted a very large chunk of the ONLY option. The Herd can go the other way just as easy.... Only Faster. Perception is Reality.
There are always reasons for movement but the basics remain. Consumption of necessary goods is going down with economic restrictions globally. Therefore, production being capitalistic will lessen. There are other contributing factors like more small and large elephants than ever before. But when the positioning and fake outs are all over the market, S&P and DOW will recede in a fairly dramatic fashion this year. It was in my Blog since August predicting this quarter would be the beginning. I stand by the "dramatic Fashion" Remember to not be economy-centric. America is but one Country and the S&P is massively global!
I wonder...
Is Wall Street kind of "radiation free"?
'Cos I can't understand how can they keep doing "business as usual" in the middle of the catastrophy going on... When there is no place to go for the "run for your life" moment that's coming...
Nuclear Engineer: Even worse news at Fukushima plant — Radioactive water has formed pathway and is flowing straight into Pacific Ocean (Enenews)
Is the 1% already flying to Mars? The Moon perhaps?
Are they inmune to radiation?
WHAT A HELL IS GOING ON, FOLKS???
WHY ISN'T THERE A WORLD EFFORT TRYING, AT LEAST TRYING TO CONTAIN THIS S...T???
I love waking up Red in the morning. Phuck this farce of a casino and the lying, manipulated Gov and press that foisted it upon us. I've tried to warn everyone and been labeled a doom and gloomer even though I read more in a day then they do in a year.
