Futures Soar Back To Green, Dax Over 9000 On Russian Tweet Putin Ready To De-escalate
Wonder why moments ago futures soared and wiped out all overnight losses of nearly 15 points, pushing into the green, the DAX surging back over 9000 and the USDJPY right back to its cozy tractor-beam manipulated level of 102.000, just as the NY Fed's Kevin Henry walked through the door? The culprit: the following two tweets (yes, really) which were caught by Bloomberg and the other newswires and blasted as a done deal.
Russia ready to mediate talks between Kiev government, East Ukraine independence supporters – Russian Security Council Chief
— RIA Novosti (@ria_novosti) August 8, 2014
Russia interested in peace in Ukraine and seeks to de-escalate conflict – Russian Security Council Chief
— RIA Novosti (@ria_novosti) August 8, 2014
This news was enough for the algos (who lack a sarcasm filter) to assume that, just like yesterday when a same story was floated only to be roundly rejected in hours, all is again fixed. Needless to say, believing that Putin will back off at this point is a pipe dream only a momentum-igniting vacuum tube can harbor.
Of course, by the time Russia rejects any hopes of de-escalation, the catalyst for the ramp will be forgotten and stocks will close green ahead of the weekend, just as the Princeton central-planners demanded. And making sure Russia has zero intentions of de-escalating, is the latest counter-escalation by Ukraine itself:
- KIEV GOVERNMENT ALSO ASKING NATIONAL DEFENCE AND SECURITY COUNCIL TO TAKE SANCTIONS AGAINST 65 RUSSIAN COMPANIES "WHICH ALSO FINANCE TERRORISM"-YATSENIUK
And of course, this which hardly had Merkel's blessing:
Ukraine examines banning transit of Russian energy resources through its territory as possible sanction - Yatsenyuk
— RIA Novosti (@ria_novosti) August 8, 2014
One can just see Putin "backing off" after being verbally and sanctionally slapped by Ukraine...
And here is the ridiculous move in its full glory, even as the world - the real world, not that of headlines and algos - descends into global trade and real war.

Comical, yet entertaining while I sip my morning coffee...
Heh heh....nice!
I'm still buying.....any deals you can swing my way would be appreciated. Yellen doesn't pay retail....and neither do I.
You guys don't mind that we use your grandkid's money to support our precious metals habit.....do you?
Because the US is killing itself, why escalate? They will dump more treasuries in concert.
All is good.
Putin pussies out
The Western Ogilopoly Wins.
Maybe not yet.. winter and the food chain has yet to sling back.
Real men like Putin do not tweet. He will speak via action.
yeah, when Putin dives into the water, he does not get wet. The water becomes Putin. (believe it or not, this is a kindergarden German "Chuck Norris joke")
Holy SHeeite batman,.....tweet that world leaders are all going to become faithful followers of the Dalai Lama and lets see if we can really start to get this market back on it's feet.
Critical Russian Development: Dollar Reserve Currency Status Under Grave Threat
Russia playing stud horse poker while US plays crazy eights
US Dollar Under Grave Threat: Russia Plans Global Retaliation For The Ukraine
More like US playing "Go Fish".
Secret Fed Minutes: No, no, no! We cannot allow Russia to de-escalate. Need to blame Putin for the coming economic catastrophe caused by bail outs of connected insiders, and irresponsible money printing.
... caused by bailouts, money printing, ... and Fraud, Captured Regulators, Crony Deals, a missing in action 4th estate. Its a long list, but let's not forget the fraud.
Its Friday relax! No loses in the market today all gains in PM lost and the Dow will sore
Ease off......I'm already sore.....I was hoping to coast a little today.
desperate and idiotic
.
Especially so since the two tweets reflect the same consistent position that Russia has held since April.
Market rallies on not-news on a Friday, what a surprise.
Not a word from CNBS about it. Guess the producers haven´t checked ZH yet...or more than likely, dare not ever give any credit where credit is due. Punked again bitches!
CNBS has been running a ton of the same stories zh has, about an hour later, for about a year now.
I love that they are an hour behind... I talk about this stuff to my office and then its on TV. They all think I am a genius! ;)
Losing is winning
obvious.
Well guess not enough killed and wounded means you just did not try hard enough. Surrender now means enemy combatant!
Su-24 bombers loaded with heavy bombs were seen approaching Saur-Grave. The bombers passed by and dropped their bombs over territory occupied by Ukrainian troops. A journalist Andrey Tsaplienko based nearby was in contact by phone with an officer of the 79th at the time of the bombing. The call abruptly ended 'subscriber is temporarily unavailable'. Later it was reported that Sergey Krivonosov, deputy commander, 2nd battalion of the 79th had been killed.
This is strong circumstantial evidence that the Ukrainian airforce bombed their own troops to stop them moving to safety in Russia.
Does that mean we can't retrieve the bodies from the plane, you know, the plane boss.
the latest selloff was a fake anyway. imo the real selloff (if/when it happens) will be preceded by a severe albeit temporary spike in long term treasury rates.
Why is that?
not sure which part you question but a smooth selloff in equities in tandem with a smooth rise in treasurys doesn't really smack of a real market. for a real selloff you need either a panic, where everything sells, or a dislocation, where everyone tries to move to the other side of the boat all at once. a panic seems unlikely with yellen at the fed so that leaves dislocation (if anything). [/guessing]
Vacuum tube? Showing your age Tyler :)
Meh, since you apparently know what a vacuum tube is, so are you!
Desperate vacuum.
So let me get this straight:
There has been no volatility all summer because everyone knew that no matter how out of control things got in Iraq and Russia, Barry would do nothing.
Now that military action is finally happening in Iraq, we get green futures???
Yeah, welcome to Fucktardia!
Fucktardia!
Wasn't that an episode on Seinfeld?
Any remaioning shorts toasted again. LOL. How many more times?
Shorts are the financial equivalent of the coal industry. Not saying you can't do it, but the government is going to make it so painful to be in that business, you'll wish you weren't.
if you own the stuff you are shorting... then the potential pain is very, very limited. if you don't, it can become unlimited. just saying. having said that, I agree
SP 500 has dropped 80 points in 2 weeks. How is that that toasted shorts?
Puts, or calls bot at the open today are gonna make a mint. Just not sure which it will be. My guess is puts.
You sound like J.P. Morgan, who, when asked what the market would do, simply said, "It will fluctuate."
They still got a few kinks to work out before fully implementing.
I'm seeing bright red on the DAX cfd
DAX 9,007.20 9,038.97 9,044.80 8,904.00 {-31.77 } -0.35%
That trade is old. I'm watching Hong Kong ///\\ Shanghai.
Have a look at the five day DAX chart:
http://data.cnbc.com/quotes/.GDAXI/tab/2
Looks like it's re-testing the horizontal support it broke below this morning and will resume crashing soon.
Thanks Headbanger. The fucking core of Europe is flat----lining. That's OK, because Greek bonds are on fucking sale!
Paging Slick Billy Gross?
if gross won't buy them fidelity will
Who ever Buzz. My guess is they're unloading everything and going into cash, like Fonz said! All I know is the usdx is fucking "yoked" long, and is about ready to take a shit. Any fucking retard that's BTFD now, needs an ANAL labotomy!
Hi...Ho...Silver Bitchez
Tyler the keystroke jacking is getting old/
why would they announce this when only yesterday they annouced what sanctions they were taking sounds like bullshit, DOW so far up 120 points from the overnight lows on nothing ...time to buy a few daily puts? FTSEMIB has jumped 500 points so far! IBEX 260 DAX 150 , and obviously just in time to smash Silver Gold and now Oil as they started to actually make amove northwards....utter bollox just another fucking stop run...NO POMO today will be interesting if this Hopium rally sticks
Algos must have missed this;

Russia backs off? To where? All Russia has to do is sit and wait for the Ukraine to implode. Wars are nasty but civil ones are the worst of all.
What is that golden rule in war - Never interrupt when your enemy is making mistakes.
So all Uncle Vlad has to do to make some dough is to say something nice into the hole.
He and his buds. Sanctions, who cares, we buy futures!
Let's de-escalate this situation. You admit the West shot down MH17, you give up all lands the separatist want, recognize that Crimea is part of Russia, immediately pay 4 billion fo rthe gas, and maybe we won't take over any more territories as long as the Baltics, Moldova, Romania, Hungary and a few others renounce NATO. You remove all sanctions and say your sorry. Pony up a few billion to rebuild East Ukraine that is liberated. I've forgotten a few other things but anything I have forgotten shall be part of this agreement to "de-escalate" this situation.
signed
Vlad.
you forgot the bananASS for barry.
who cares about barry?
that's the poker equivalent of laying all cards down. poker is the game of the impatient, compared to chess
it's the same way as MsCreant going into the analogy and saying "Putin is the better bluffer". Nope. "Playing chess" means you never put yourself in the situation where you have to bluff or you have to lay all cards down or you have to do something because time is against you
In the same way, the last Russian agricultural embargos are perfectly timed between one season and the next... so that time is on the chess player's side
miss fire.
Check out TransCarpathia. They're leaving The Ukraine. Should not have gotten The Bear riled. Say good-bye to Kiev and Odessa too. What kind of idiots want to fight for Zato and the IMF!! Looks like Hungary will take this opportunity to escape.
*thanks DublinMick for the Carpathians heads-up.
While I'm very negative concerning the economy it seems no suggestion of weakness no matter how subtle can exist because it may begin to unravel the already fragile consumer confidence. We should remember this is a long game and the ride may get wild.
Those in power don't want to enter the weekend or a holiday with a bad market. While I think the market is way to high and distorted it is difficult to time a top. More on the reason for bears to be cautious in the article below.

Some things are just beyond their control.

Yuan dynasty banknotes are the earliest known fiat money.
Fiat money is currency which derives its value from government regulation or law. It differs from commodity money, which is based on a good, often a precious metal such as gold or silver, which has uses other than as a medium of exchange. The term derives from the Latin fiat ("let it be done", "it shall be").
Déjà vu !I've got this weird feeling I've been here before.
You're barely scraping the surface of this really bad case of deja vu--
The Song dynasty (predecessors to the Yuan) wanted to cut into the massive iron & copper warehousing & rehypothecation ponzi of the paper shadow banking sector of the time, and it also helped silence the slant-eyed tree huggers who were complaining about the massive deforestation in China that was required to forge all of this iron and copper that they were warehousing to justify base note issuance. Meanwhile, while simultaneously battling the evil westerners (Mongols) TPTB's navy and merchant marine were busy mapping, renaming and trying to impose Chinese hegemony in the South China Sea. In fairness though they didn't really get into ghost (Forbidden) cities until the Yuan Dynasty, unless you want to count the old Imperial City... Rinse, Repeat.
Don't hold your breath for Putin to back-off or back-down, he has put down his marker and is now playing both Obama and Kerry for fools in a contest that cost Russia little. Putin wants a path or land link to Crimea and if he get Eastern Ukraine next week he will next month or next year at the latest. Putin holds all the cards and time is on his side. More on this subject in the article below.
http://brucewilds.blogspot.com/2014/07/putin-holds-all-cards.html
True.

"all strategies in war are based on deception" - Art of War
"All DC Fascists strategies are based on scorched earth and bomb them back to the stone age method" - Art of Neocons.
Nothing new here. Russia has been offering to mediate between Kiev and the East for months. Its Kiev and Washington that wont enter talks and keep escalating the crisis. So no change at all in Russias position, What we need is a change in Kievs position - they wont talk and refuse mediation!
well said.
Up +20 off the morning low. If short, you must take your bacon when you can.
Increasing volatility is a good thing for bears, but unless a black swan hits, there will be no instant gratification like there was in 2008. It will be a very slow and frustrating grind downward.
The Putin Put
I see as trend people. The Eastern nationals are using the media to play its warfare. Look at the so called ban of Apple products and then the Chinese government comes out then refutes it. Same as above!!!! They say one thing, do another and vis-versa.
ART OF WAR at work me think.
good luck trading TWEETS
Still shaking my head in disbelief at the green futures.
WHO would want to be holding stocks over THIS weekend, when SO MUCH has the potential to go wrong?
If ISIS shoots down just ONE cargo plane, then they will video-tape the charred bodies of dead soldiers or the decapitation of any survivors, and it will be all over the internet.
Also, they had some guy on the news last night saying that ISIS cells were EVERYWHERE in the US. We're not talking about planes being flown into skyscrapers, but think about 1000 gas stations across the US being blown up simultaneously by lots of 'Boston bomber' types.
Who would BTD today when this could escalate in mere seconds?
"Also, they had some guy on the news last night saying that ISIS cells were EVERYWHERE in the US."
woaaahh! Must be true if was on the news.
Yeah, I'm not buying it, unless of course you are talking about the creators of ISIS, the US Government and the Israeli Government.
Russia has been saying that it is interested in peace in Ukraine from the very start of this mess. However thinking that Putin will back off is VERY NAIVE.
But, but, but, what will we blame the crash on if not the evil russians? I mean, the taper is happening, the economy is going to sink and we had a nice fat patsy all teed up to take the fall and the blame, and now that bastard thinks he is going to negotiate his ass out of the situation and off the front page and lead story on CNN???? No sirreee, you can't get off that easy.. Look for the conditions of deescalation to be so onerous to prevent poor Vlad from taking them.
I think the big short is after the evil russians are shown to have blown that plane out of the sky themselves. Then and only then will the rhetoric and news coverage be enough to give cover and assign blame for the planned crash.
The war of Tweets, my how fake this truly is. Well scripted and well managed by both sides. Shamful to see how our ( fake ) markets can be moved with a few single words, no actrual investment.
International policy and equity markets via twitter. I have never seen anything so out of your mind that this.
On a fuckin tweet? Unbelievable.
If you want to join the cult....now's the time....we've got memberships at rock bottom prices.
Right in time for precious green friday. Spend your money this wknd slaves! Everything is just fine!
Crock of bullshit.
It seems only last month that the Fed was griping about low volatility.
Futures have got nothing to do with Putin or middle east or anybody else. Nada.
Futures will be within the range that the central command of the videogame network callled "financial system" will decide for the day.
Russia putting the "choco Jew's" head on the end of a pike will be the only "de-escalation" for Russia moving forward!
And it's comin.
Well it is Feel Good Friday
Got to keep the Hampton's hopping...and there are only so many summer weekends remaining
Looks like Putin was front-running
Will the SEC be taking any action?
Putin and Icahn...who would have thunk?
what b*llshit.
RU has always stated it was ready to negotiate.
how do you conclude that Putin is backing off.
this is really pitiful
Bloomberg?
Bloomberg is b*llshit.
you can get brain damage reading the shit they put out on newswires and tv.
Did the futures and overseas markets not drop over Iraq??
How the fuck do they now recover over a tweet about Ukraine?
yep, you are right. that and israel v gaza back on
Picked up on a police cruiser radio in Indianopolis,
Believed to be a guy flew into the US from Africa and didn't return home, Believed to have been in contact with Ebola victim hours before flight. No description beyond White early 40's 6 ft photographs will be circulated, DO not contact physically and call emergency health hotline. There is a special team standing by.
Everything is possible and nothing is impossible when we realise that human stupidity does not have a perimeter fence. No doubt both sides are making many plans for how they will either attack or defend but the reality is that no one will survive if stupid men also embrace evil.
Anyone who thinks the sell off is about russia is kidding themselves.
PPT all got called in early after last nights mess
So algos are drones remote controlled by Twitter. Hmmm....I have an idea....
Seriously, do these people have cognitive deficiencies or something? Putin has been imploring the West to de-escalate from day one, only on his terms, not the USA's.
What part of it don't they f...g get? Or maybe they need a hearing aid to hear everything Putin says and not only what they'd like?
where is the ussa state dept laughing stock TWEETING TWAT on this one?
my name is Putin
I get long, tweet and sell.
and the SEC can't touch me.
Tweet Tweet Tweet
a little birdie told me that this is a bunch of crap
Putin is going to rip Ukraine a new one in the near future
TPTB have decided market to RESET, a la 2011 in preparation for next leg up. They will use WHATEVER it takes to move it down in a stairstep, controlled way. Only if it gets out of their hands does it drop precipitously. That's where Putin can come in.
