Markets Turmoiled As 5th Hindenburg Looms

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Summing today up in 7 seconds...

 

 

*  *  *

5th Hindenburg Omen in the last 6 days... Breadth todasy was horrible...

 

*  *  *

Wherever you look today there was dramatic moves in markets - Treasury yields plunged, credit spreads blew wider (especially HY and more especially energy), VIX jumped notably higher, USDJPY collapsed, gold and silver surged, oil rallied modestly...

But then - shortly after Europe closed... someone (cough BoJ cough) decided to catch USDJPY at 117.95 and lift it miraculously 170 pips to save risk assets from a serious day...

 

 

Mission NOT!! Accomplished...

The entire equity complex ripped higher led by "most shorted" stocks being squeezed and driving small caps to a big day... the Nasdaq avoids its first 2-day losing streak since the Bullard lows. But despite the best efforts the S&P could not hold green

 

Energy stocks were today's best performers...

 

Despite the panic-buying v-shaped recovery - on par with the bounce at the Bullard lows, stocks remain red post-Payrolls...

 

Volume faded away on the upswing as one would expect...

 

Notably while VIX helped it did not ramp like stocks...

 

Treasury yields bounced but 30Y remains down 9bps on the week, flattening significantly...

 

Crushing the yield curve to iots flattest since 2009

 

The USD slid for the 2nd day in a row... but bounced hard after Europe closed...

 

But gold and silver surged (and did not lose much as everything ripped) and oil gained modestly...

 

 

While the broad HY market is indeed widening, the following chart should give some context (albeit comparing a CDS spread to an OAS is not perfect) on just how totally screwed the energy sector is...

something tells me end is slowly getting place within the decade :

 

news from french gov about region for shooting clubs :

renewal of the permit must be done strictly in the three months before the expiry of the authorization to the day.
  Namely an authorization which expires March 9, 2015 the application must reach minimum 9 December 2014.
  Attention: Service have instructions to systematically repress the files.

We are vigilant and let us be warned you will understand that it is useless to blame the service of the prefecture that only executes the instruction.

 

they are fucking gun owners, shit is coming.

Hindenburg Schmindenburg, everyone knows these don't matter anymore. Repeated many times, buy the dips. The algos do it.

How many more omens do we need, until something really happens? 10, 20, 50, 100?

Well, when every Economic law and fundamental is basically tossed out the window while we ride a computer program, these portents mean nothing.

Hindenburg Omen will be the next stage of Hydrogen production cars released to public taxpayer financed roads. Once an accident, new reforms to kinder a blast in exciting new mandated reforms to protect the sheep on a force feed technology to compromise Central Planning directives.

 

 

We should run a Central Planning Employee Special Olympics endowment to honor Central Banking lower IQ deficiency. Unfortunately, all the proceeds will be sent to people who need help. Don’t patronize me on we need a new TARP bailout. I don’t need money. You’re a bank that cannot manage a ledger. Fucking scumbags.

The Hindenburg Omen is a useful predictor only of ridiculous posts on ZeroHedge.  Every time the Omen appears, there is a silly post on ZeroHedge about another Hindenburg Omen.
