Stocks Up, Bonds Up, Gold Up, Oil Up, USD Up... Give Up?

Tyler Durden's picture




 

For the 25th day in a row (one short of an all-time record), the S&P closed above its 5-day moving-average. Despite dismal Asian, European, and US PMIs, US equity markets sreaked higher at the US Open, tagging yesterday's highs, then stalling when Europe closed. Small Caps led the day as shorts were squeezed once again but Trannies and Russell 2000 remain negative on the week. US Treasury yields dropped notably after European and ended the day 2-3bps lower (with 30Y unch on the week). The USD rose very modestly close-to-cvlose but traded lower thru the EU and US sessions (AUDJPY was in charge of stocks today). Copper dropped on China growth fears but oil, silver, and gold rose on the day (leaving gold +0.5% on the week). HY credit slammed tighter with stocks early then decoupled after EU closed. Dow & S&P close at record highs.

 

It's OPEX tomorrow...

25 in a row.. and counting...

 

Small Caps led the day...

 

As shorts got squeezed ouit of the gate

 

Trannies and Russell remain red on the week despite today's big surge in small caps...

 

USDJPY gave up at the US open and AUDJPY took over

 

Treasury yields and HY credit once again decoupled...

 

VIX's opening hour was insanely spotted with fat finger mnanipulations... ramped then rose into the close

 

Another triple-fat-finger day for VIX...

 

FX markets saw the USD flat but USDJPY roundtriup back to 118.00

 

Treasury yields saw volatility today but closed lower with 30Y practically unch on the week

 

Copper dropped (China weakness) but oil, gold, and silver rose on the day pulling gold green on the week

 

Gold rallied all the way back up to the pre-Swiss Gold Poll results yesterday...

Fuck the vix number and fuck the CBOE.  Total bullshit organization, more useless than tits on the walllstreet bull.

The options shit too, don't get me started.  Made up bullshit market that any smart hedge fund shys away from.

Those options monsters guys are merely marketing reps for the CBOE.

Even buying gold is not as shitty as buying options.

I think we need to quit saying short squeeze. I do not think anyone is shorting anymore except commodities. When this bad boy does go perma bear , nobody will catch it. It just makes one big ass candlestick on charts and says insert 25 cents to continue.

Best Buy Q3 out today

 

had +2% growth in same store sales (expected -2%) ... mostly due to apples new phone in september ... and amazon's crummy result out a few weeks ago.

 

but still expect only around  flat for Q4 ... walmart expects flat to 1% for same

 

holiday sales real cut throat with Price Match and walmart announced (starting today i think) to match any competitors black friday sales now through black friday

 

retail wars

currency wars

of course "the market" is up. it's just two algos playing pong. nobody is selling and no-one ever will. if and when someone decides to sell then it falls to old yeller to pick up the slack again.

we're so glad you could attend

markets will hit a brick wall if a crisis in government in the USA comes about with this imperial president..would be wise to get money out of markets until the outcome of a criminal act at the highest level of .gov is known.

civil war is not baked in. you think it is a low chance but there is a chance this idiot will live his dream of being a second lincoln.

Welcome back my friends to the show that never ends
We're so glad you could attend, come inside, come inside
There behind a glass stands a real blade of grass
Be careful as you pass, move along, move along

Come inside, the show's about to start
Guaranteed to blow your head apart
Rest assured you'll get your money's worth
Greatest show in Heaven, Hell or Earth
You've got to see the show, it's a dynamo
You've got to see the show, it's rock and roll, oh

Right before your eyes we pull laughter from the skies
And he laughs until he cries, then he dies, then he dies

Come inside, the show's about to start
Guaranteed to blow your head apart
You've got to see the show, it's a dynamo
You've got to see the show, it's rock and roll, oh

Soon the Gypsy Queen in a glaze of vaseline
Will perform on guillotine, what a scene, what a scene...

Peter Schiff is on MarketWatch front page spreading doom and gloom, which means another rally's on its way...

and if not, there's always weather. NY snow storm will supply years worth of excuses.

No surprises here, the chance of this market going sharply lower from here is akin to that of Jamie Dimon calling you tonight and telling you he has too much money so hes gonna give it to you.  Theoretically it could happen but don't hold your breath.

It's exactly this type of article I like to see on ZH. I always have said once ZH capitulates, then it's time to sell.. That way ZH can be wrong on the way up and the way down. It's inevitable
