Fed Confusion Sparks Crude Chaos; Stocks, Bonds, Bullion Whiplash

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Stocks are up and crude oil is down following The Fed's confusing statement. Treasury yields whiplashed lower then higher and are holding slightly lower. Gold did the same - holding slightly above pre-FOMC levels.

 

Bonds up, Stocks up, Gold up, Crude down...

 

Crude Oil has given back all its spike gains...

 

Be careful...

I gotta good feelin' about gold - gettin' ready to make a run at 1200! LOL, these FED guys and their minions kill me.

Gold has been hammered after the last couple of FOMC meetings.  Let's hope Mr. Yellen broke that pattern.

If the West has truly declared financial war against Russia via the oil markets, you can be pretty sure they aren't going to hand Russia any gifts via a higher gold price. Gold is capped, and can only go lower.

To this day I do not understand how naked short selling gold can be used to suppress it's price. Who is on the other side of all these naked shorts? Are the banks colluding with the Fed to take the other side and the Fed just prints money and gives to them to cover their losses. I'm a cynical bastard but I can't imagine for a moment the system would be so incredibly corrupt as this.

Whatever happened to "green shoots".

What has the world come to when economic forecasting is all about interpreting the words of the Federal Reserve chairman? 

You could not make this shit up.

The syndicate always runs open market operations simultaneously with FEDspeak so they can tell the donkeys what to believe.

A god and pony show if you will.

  The banksters can't decide which side of the boat to stack their deck chairs on. Personally I think this will be taken as a risk-off event eventually.

  I can easily see usd/jpy headed back to that 38.2% Fibi 115.40 area I mentioned last week. The weakly(sp) chart looks spent, and I think MOAR longs are going to get squeezed before it moves higher.

 With that in mind I see some more softening of the $usd. Additionally CL(oil) bounced off that lower long term trend line twice.

Yep and CL is liking this $56 to $56.50 area since December 15th pit close.Shit $54 may be the bottom since Goldman said it may go lower. Ever since Goldman nut sacs statement. prices have not broken much below $54. Time will tell.

I think whatever the reaction is, it will be short lived.

Didn't Greenspan once say something like, if you think you understood me, then you haven't been paying attention?

Yes "Be careful" is the better statement as in the last piece... third time resistance aint worth nothin'.. Whole shit is worth next to nothing but short squeezes are the worst...

 

But as old Phil Esterhaus said in Hill street Blues... Be careful out there....

Meh.  Stay the course.  The unwind continues.

There is no price collapse or default yet.  Clearly oil has gotten the memo though.

Are they saying "be careful" on the last chart because of the pattern?  Or something else.....

Yesterday I thought the world was coming to an end, and I got my nice adrenaline fix of dreadful things to come. I'm just not getting the same doomsday voltage today, thanks to Putin and Russia.

I don't come to ZH for a love-in. I can get that elsewhere. And it's been quite a while since ZH has posted "actionable" info, with which to front-run the Markets. Given that they are all rigged and centrally controlled, why should I give a damn about its intellectual analysis? That'd be like reading about sex, rather than having it. Sorry, I'm not into self-pleasuring, or finding out that I way overpaid for my solid-gold insurance policy.

Unless Putin comes through for me with another adrenaline jolt, it's time to do more fun or thrilling stuff today, or attack my To-Do list. Since it's too early to pop a bottle of Beaujolais or Claret.

You posted at 15hundred, but say it is too early to pop a bottle?

It is NEVER too early if you are gonna get serious about this.

This morning I walked across a beautiful travertine surface to defecate. The marble was warm, as I'd planned. It cost me $13,000 less, five years ago when I was still on the teevee.

I know because this afternoon I called for a quote on a new guest room. Holy shit.

If you own debt notes, spend them because workers are starting to recognize the dissonance. Buy American labor now before the fuckers raise their rates!

ZH doesn't get it. The market is like what Marshall Mcluhan said about the Media : 

The Media is the Message!

Today the MArket is the Message. Its NOT the market place.

That is the Oligarchy rule. And the mechanisation of the market (HFT/Dark Pools/No rules except Oligarchy ones) makes this place the Church of "Right hand doesn't know what Left hand does" God! 

Get over it. Its not worth following from day to day; more from year to year. 

Thats the Oligarchy time span for decisions.
