Everyone Do The Safe-Haven Scramble
Always happy to look to the silver lining in markets, amid the total and utter carnage across global FX, commodity, and equity markets, there are a few markets benefiting from the scramble for a safe-haven. Gold (and Silver) prices, after dropping yesterday, has retraced all those losses and is up over $20 to $1215. Even more impressively, 10Y Treasury yields traded with a 2.00% handle (down 8-9bps today alone). Notably ultra-short-term US T-Bill yields have collapsed to zero with the Feb 2015s trading -0.5bps. Bunds are also bid (down 5bps) at fresh record-low yields of 56.6bps! While not a 'safe-haven" per se, JPY is aggressively bid also as leverage and risk unwinds carry trades and squeezes USDJPY lower (briefly touching 115.50).
And Bund yields push to new record lows...

That's some gourmet chart porn;)
There are no safe havens bitches, it's just trick juggling.

Reminds me.....keep your damn hands off the Internet.
"Order from the Fed to their trading desks"- SELL GOLD_BUY S&P FUTURES
Nothing says "safety" like buying the shit out of Yen...cause Japan's economic performance is outstanding.
If you're going to panic, panic first.
And I was laughed at when I suggested buying 30 year bonds when they were yielding 3% a couple weeks ago (Or was that days? Things have been moving fast lately).
bonds are the trade!
Until they are'nt.
Okay everyone, repeat after me:
Cash, Bonds, Gold.
[Rubles? Not so much...]

Ruble = 73.00/USD . Down another 10.7% today (It was 55 a couple days ago...)
P.S.: Oil = $53.76
I think you got them backwards. Should be Gold, Bonds, Cash. and then Gold and Cash, Then just Gold.
and some lead and brass
Yep.
You haven't seen anything yet as far as how fast things are moving.
watching ES surge right now, you'd think thats the safe haven. too funny. this bubble is popping. and will take a big dive at the open.

Is anyone else having flashbacks to September 2008, when it looked for a moment like the wheels of the global economy were about to fly off?
They still are, just a little more time my friends.
When the geniuses ban short selling again, like they did on 09/19/2008, I will.
The wheels are bigger and spinning faster now....
...bigger and faster, you say? SWEET! That means more gooder-er!
It's pretty bad when 2.11% on ten year fiat is considered a safe haven.
After that 30 year 15% bender they got paid for, anything looks good.
the worst fiat,
except for all the others.

Picture a butthole at the Tony awards
to my eye, this decline looks very very similar to the october decline. were about 1/2 of the run off the october low. muppets need one more good lesson to learn to never ever sell. cue the ramp, cue the oil stablization, cue the 'rise in rates from 2.00 to 2.1, get those bonuses locked in boys, 2015 were gonna change directions.

The ball is clearly in the Fed’s court. It is up to them to aggressively intervene and restore confidence in the broken markets. If they fail to act quickly, the sheeple will panic and the bottom won’t be reached until Dow 6k-7k, or lower. The true value of the Dow in a no-growth economy, burdened with ever-expanding welfare rolls, is so low that the damage will be permanent. The Fed has “guaranteed the markets and now must make good on their pledges. First by jawboning, then by direct through their proxies, futures and ETF purchases. There is no other way. The ‘New Normal’ requires full-time Fed bank support of asset prices. Housing is coming apart too, and near-nothing down loans are happening again, which completes the cycle. As home prices tumble and people walk-away, it will spread. Car sales are now 95% dependent upon liar sub-prime loans, and nothing down. Do or die time for the Fed bankers.
It would appear the fed has produced sufficient smoke and mirrors while Martha polishes...
So yesterday's buzz that China is dumping bonds, is wrong?
January 1, 2014 gold was at about 1220, silver at 19.90.
They are furiously holding gold below that line. It must not show any strength for the year. This is very important to the pricks running the shit show, may they all get the clap. The fact that China and India are acquiring all of 'our' gold at fire sale prices doesn't matter in the least. The US will be stripped of everything of value and dumped in the alley as the tribe pulls up stakes and heads off for Asia.
remove that article, its too old.
Silver -4.79%. it will be the next "halted until further notice" market after the Ruble
