US Equity Market Liquidity Evaporates To 3 Year Lows

Submitted by Tyler Durden on 01/15/2015 11:01 -0400

Thanks to the SNB surprise this morning - and FX market volatility (and illiquidity) at insane levels - liquidity in the S&P 500 e-mini futures contract is at its lowest in at least 3 years... (i.e., prepare for volatility)

Just makes for easier market manipulation. S&P and Dow just went green on the day. SURPRISE!

DAX doing okay though, near all time highs and resisting all efforts to smack it down (not my efforts)

It's been the star performer all week and maybe there's some underhand QE going on already to steal a march on any front runners?

Yes, almost as if someone knew what the SNB would do...

Can you see a chart of the DAX relative to the FTSE ? It's put on 400 points this week alone

The DAX is the new DOW - lol

Should be bullish. Right?

Hell, Evel Kneivel never had a ramp that big.

The ECB will "print," and then the Fed will "print," and then CBJ will "print..." Until the circle jerk explodes. I'm still waiting for the term "liquidity trap" to go mainstream...been waiting for six years...but it seems most of these idiots still have "hope.." ...for now.

You might as well wait for the word Depression to go mainstream. Not gonna happen.

There! Fixed.

Liquidity? Does that have anything to do with all these paper claims seeking out real goods and services? Sorry, the real world was just inquiring...
