Stock Market Liquidity Is The Lowest Ever For An FOMC Day

Tyler Durden's picture




 

One way or another this is going to get wild... As Nanex exposes, liquidity in the S&P 500 e-mini futures contract (the most liquid equity trading vehicle) is the lowest it has ever been on an FOMC Day...

Everyone is already "all-in". No one has the balls to short.

Caught some of Liesman on CNBS at lunch.  He is saying Yellen and the Central Bankers are playing this just right and their wisdom is showing through ...blah blah blah

Ready to vomit ARGHHH

Is Santelli ever physically near him?  I wish he would bludgeon that fat fraud

Don't worry, you're probably one of only two people watching.  The other 50% of the audience is pictured in your avatar.

lowest liquidity huh?  reminds me of the scene in titanic where the rich snob who thought the ship was unsinkable jumps on the life boat when they were calling for women and children

Low liquidity should make it easy for them to push it green.

Credit is king. I wonder how much the earth would shift if everyone just quit their credit obligations all at once?

Would that be tectonic or axial?

Axial, no doubt.

When Kevin Henry comes in with his hammerfist buying of futures, I guess the low liquidity will halp give ES a 'rocket to the moon, alice. to the moon!'

I assume that is not adjusted for the fact the dollar is stronger than its been in a decade and the e-minis are nominally at all time highs? 

 

Looks like a straight contracts traded chart.  I would bet on a dollar adjusted and weighted basis we are notionally trading the same if not more liquidity than ever before.

Pretty simple - only stupids are still trading in this stinking corrupt pool of Sharks (Megabanks), Crocodiles (HFs) and Gorillas (CBs) - all of which are already fighting for their lifes/survival, as everything collapses in front of their eyes.

Where even brokers (including your funds) and smaller CBs (i.e. SNB) are not safe anymore - and themselfs are just food for the big animals mentioned above.

Pandoras box is long open - just trading junkies still don't get it.

Declining credibility -> declining interest -> declining impact / effect
