S&P Down 5% From Highs, Dow Drops Almost 700 Points In 27 Hours

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Things are escalating... Energy credit markets are pushing back towards record high spreads, copper is pushing back to the overnight lows and gold and silver are flat. US equity markets are the big movers with The Dow down well over 300 points today (and nearly 700 points in the last 27 hours) and the S&P now down almost 5% from its highs. Treasury yields are 8-10bps lower on the day with 30Y yields at record lows and 10Y close.

 

 

Rest of the indices are also ugly...

 

And the machines have a problem as JPY carry has decoupled from risk...

Agreed.  Market has been slaughtering shorts the last few months - yet it is too early to tell if this is the BIG ONE to the downside.  I bet a lot of future  job offers and a lot of bundles of fiat are on their way from Wall Street to Washington, DC right now.

No shit..!!  I know you are probably referring to QE4 (agree that it's coming). 

However, until I see PROOF that those fuckfaces at the fed are not directly buying equities, I'm going to choose to believe that they are.

You won't ever see PROOF- they can just as easily give a no interest loan or transfer to some mysterious entity, and the entity wil buy the index futures.  You will not see proof, but you WILL know it is happening.

The problem is everyone knows the fed will step in with qe4 if there's a 10% drop, so there is never a 10% drop, even though there should be a 50% drop. It's all psychology at this point.

Planned and fully anticipated slow descent by the Fed. The plane will now head for a cruising altitude and your seat belt light is on for mild turbulence.  But fear not, for no big fall will be allowed, nor even occur,  since all the Fed need do is to jawbone the market back up. Doesn't take much.  Hint of QE4 IF x doesn't happen, "patience" reverts to "considerable time."  the people hearing these words are ready, willing and able to serve at the Fed's slightest command. They have been trained to do so.   Do not short this.
