Japanese Stocks Tumble 500 Points From Highs; Nikkei Futures Back Below 17,000; Bond Yields Crashing

Tyler Durden's picture




 

One word - seppuku

Not laughing now eh, QE-boy?

Here's one problem:

  • *GPIF PANEL MEMBER SAYS GOVERNANCE LAW REFORM MAY TAKE A YEAR

We're gonna need a biggerer QQE!

  • *JAPAN'S 20-YEAR YIELD DROPS TO 1.21%, LOWEST SINCE APRIL 2013

Everyone is greatly rotating into JGBs! 20Y yield collapses 8bps!

 

back to crazy chaos levels from last year

 

And 30Y yield is totally crashing -20bps!!! 2nd biggest drop on record

 

Bond stress focusd on long-duration buying panic

 

As Japanese rate vol explodes...

 

And Japanese stocks plunge the most intraday in 10 days 

 

And Nikkei VIX surges past 30...

 

US equity futures are tumbling too - notably decoupled from USDJPY

 

It seems not everyone is rushing headlong into unprotected longs in Japan

 

Now where have we seen that before?

 

Charts: Bloomberg

*  *  *

Abe on the tape with more lies:

*ABE: HAVE BEEN SUCCESSFUL IN ALTERING DEFLATIONARY MINDSET - Nope!

 

*  *  *

It seems a few commenters are unaware that yesterday was a market holiday in Japan and so the Nikkei cash index move is from Friday's Japan close. Nikkei Futures rose 1000 points since then and have no given back 500 points of those gains... your decision whether you consider the NKY up 500 or down 500... we know which we prefer to view given the trend...and note this is the biggest intraday reversal in 10 days

 

It is pretty clear by the surge in Nikkei VIX and JGB yield collapse that investors are focused on the current weakness as opposed to yesterday's and Friday's gains

Seriously, Kuroda-san could print 50 quadrillion yen and dump it into the black hole that are Japanese "markets" and the half-life at this point would be less than a millionth that of a gamma ray hitting Mothra's balls.

Krugman should be appointed Head of the BOJ so that he could launch the 850 quadrillion yen "When Mars Attacks" Defense Initiative & Zirconium Force Field System, plus build a Warp Core Plasma Pulse Drive Starfleet.

Was Waddell & Reed involved?

That said, assuming the Nikkei closes anywhere near 3% up, 600 Nikkei points is the new 6 Nikkei points given QEzilla .

***Tylers are saying since Japan had a holiday, 500 or 600 Nikkei points
up now vs the 1,000 Nikkei points up as of the cash close on Friday, October 31st = a give back of that cash close?***

Japan is on the verge here. Just consider the size of QE they need for each month of just keeping zombies half-alive. Can they really increase QE x10 (or x100 as that's difference on your amazed meter from now to max) and continue the farce of not even some day paying debts off, but keeping them rolling over for a bit more?

They are all in agreement on foreign policy, economy and formation of police state. Vote on abortion, gay marriage or maybe immigration, these are only things left to vote over in US of A.

Only a two-pronged approach from Draghi/Yellen can save us now:

a)  Draghi makes a midnight announcement that the Germans will increase their workweek to 60 hrs, but with no pay boost, the increased profits used to buy Greek bonds and Japanese stocks.  

b)  Yellen, fresh from her Obama meeting, orders the ‘carry trade’ to move from USD.JPY to USD.JPM, equivalent to the monthly JP Morgan regulatory fines in billions, the initial target set at 117.

How much of Japanese GDP is accounted for by "public works" projects? The country has been awash with construction projects all funded by the State for the last couple of decades.

I was so excited when the Nikkei was dropping 3 figures a night like a year ago, and as in the US of course there's always another round of QE announced just kicking the can a bit further. I hope whatever crashes it is not some sort of "extraordinary" event so that we can all indict Keynesianism once and for all, so it won't be spun as another exceptional one-time event that caused a crash, rather than the fact that a flawed philosophy has ruined our society.

This is going to be interesting. I have been reading so many of these bloody alternative news sites that I am convinced as nigfht follows day that there will be a massive false flag attack on the US to provide cover the collapse and the crimes of the last few years.

What a spin out if it turns out to be complete and utter bullshit and the market collapses just happens through CB stupidity.That will mean my world view is back to normal and the whole world isn't going to hell in a hand basket.

Will there be a false flag attack, are minds preparing this as we speak or is Alex Jones out of his mind?

Japan's public debt, which stands at around 230% of its GDP and is the highest in the industrialized world. They are past the point where they can return to a "free and fair market" interest rate marketing their bonds to the world and still be able to pay the debt service. We should not hold our breath while this shakes out but focus on how it will end which is very badly.

The moment the Japaneses stock market fails to rise enough to offset inflation and the people of Japan realize that even a weaker yen will not help we will see a tsunami of money fleeing Japan. This will constitute the end of the line for those left holding both JGBs and the yen. This has been a long time coming and I contend the cross-border flow of money leaving Japan is why some stock markets have remained so resilient . When Japan crumbles it will be felt across the world. More on this subject in the article below.
