ECB QE Reaction: "Disappointment" - Crude Clubbed, Gold Glistens, EUR Tumbles, EU Bond Risk 'Rises', US Treasuries Rally

Tyler Durden's picture




 

UPDATE: EURUSD < 1.15 but peripheral bonds selling off

 

EURCHF is dumping

 

Initial kneejerk reactions have started to fade but overall Europe is 'positive' as EURUSD is lowerand stocks higher (excepty Germany's DAX which is at the LoD) but Sovereign spreads are higher. Initial exuberance in US equities have been entirely erased. Treasury yields are now lower as gold and silver are bid and crude and copper sold. We're gonna need a bigger bazooka Mr.Draghi...

  • SPANISH 10-YEAR BOND YIELD DROPS TO RECORD-LOW 1.465%

 

Europe positive for now...

 

Though DAX seems undecided...

 

US equities' exuberance fades

 

as Treasuries rally...

 

Gold and Silver up, Crude and Copper down...

LOL at the upping from 50 to 60.  Are we going to have an emergency uppage to 70/mo tomorrow?  Still don't see their QE program lasting if even buying the first PIIGS bond, but hey looneyer things have happend as of late.

paper gold and silver getting capped now as of 9:30am.  Seems like 9:30am is the new 8am this year so far...the monkeys are sleeping in a little longer this year before they come out and fuck with things.  Maybe they just like to see ZeroHedge post articles about gold and silver doing well first before they let the monkeys out for the beat-down. lol

They're trying to defend 1300 and 18 as hard as they can, it seems.  But they're going to lose control eventually as phyzz continues to disappear.

Fuck 'em...BTFD's and keep stackin' the phyzz.  It's still on fire-sale and well below the avg. cost of production per physical ounce outta the ground.

So if BuBa is going to be purchasing a ton of Bunds -- their yields will all be negative, and the Finanzamt gets money for free.  

I would love to think this will go to roads and bridges, but it'll likely go to the social services programs.

The one thing we can count on is that the Banksters will keep printing and the Fascist governments will keep rigging until it all blows up.

I would hope that would be soon, except that it will likely cause immense suffering to the non-1%.  And possibly a major war, so that there is someone to blame it all on.

SPANISH 10-YEAR BOND YIELD DROPS TO RECORD-LOW 1.465%

That's some funny shit right there. Even funnier is that it is still too high to do anything for Spain except keep its head above water for another year or two.

This is why they absolutely had to do QE even though everybody knows it won't work.  They have to bail out all the banks who bought up Spanish and Italian paper to front-run the ECB.  Otherwise there would be hell to pay.

it is also a sign that there is no bond market per se. a functioning bond/currency market would see higher yields in the usa, less default risk, and an appreciating currency and arb the hell out of that shit. it isn't even a grossly distorted market, there IS NO MARKET.

The more interesting dimension for Spain is the Greek elections in a few days. If the anti austrity Syriza gain the votes they need for a far left coalition, it could give impetus to Podemos and the idea that not only can't these debts be paid back, but they won't. Greeks debt is US$414bn, Spains US$1.105tn.

Now this QE will give reasons to Fed reserve to stand firm on interest...

Just like the UK, Continent, et al used to engage in furiously back in the 50's and 60's.

Never did the textbook theory spur of exports, create jobs, etc.
See, in practice, theory only works in theory and practice.

Double up on the QE drugs Draghi!

Instead of $60 billion/month do $120 billion/month.

US QE 4 will probably be $170 billion/month.

Next bigger Bazookas after US QE 4 :

Euro QE $240 billion/month

US QE 5 $340 billion/month

Larger and larger QEs each time.

US does QE 4 soon. 

Queen Yellen announces $170 billion/month QE 4.

Japan announces even larger QEs.

Draghi announces $120 billion/month QE.

Then onward to QE 5 with even larger amounts of money.

If this is the day ‘Faith in Fed’ ends and the omnipotence of the central bankers is exposed as a fraud, then it is time to go short. For the past seven years, nothing has mattered compared to the power of the bankers seemingly limitless money creation abilities. When millions see the bankers are pushing on a string, the party is over. There will be no hope left and fear of losing all that the Fed has handed out will quickly take over. The wealthy will bail keeping their Fed billions, then the rest will panic and follow them out the tiny door.

Banks will continue to try negative rates for savings to further punish savers and try to force more money into the markets. If we are really at that point, we will slide down the slippery-slope of hope real fast.  Most shorts have been forced out and the market will have no support.

Or it may just be when everyone has ten I-Phones, Silicon Valley will fail and their massive property bubble will pop, then it all goes…

All this does is "float" or "finance" (if you prefer) the decadent will never change structures of EU socialism. We gave it to them and de-armed them after WWII to stop the repetitive cruelty and bloodshed. Sad to say, there is NO hope for them or us. Giant debt will only lead to declining purchase power, i.e., you must work harder or fall behind, and there is no way to save for retirement. It is the death of "saving." It is the death of some left over for your future after you pay your present bills. It is death for your children's future - you will never be able to save up to help them get started, whether funds for school or start a business. It is death for small business start-ups .It is a sure thing we will all be debt slaves forever.
