Stocks Down, Dollar Down, Crude Down, Bond Yields Down, Fed Impatient

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Well that escalated quickly. What gains were achieved yesterday in equity markets (or v-shaped recoveries) have been dismissed this morning as stocks test Tuesday's lows tumbling as Europe got into swing and Greek fears surged (along with peripheral bond spreads).  Treasury yields are pushing on lower past 5Y maturity (10Y approaching 2% again) but 2Y higher, as the dollar limps lower. WTI Crude remains in the low $42s after last night's API inventory build. All in all, it appears markets are starting to be resigned to the impatient Fed's actions today.

 

Stocks red for week...

 

while 2Y rises and the longer-0end flattens dramatically...

 

and Crude is carnaging more...

 

As European risk surges...

 

 

So much for Draghi's QE.

and Platinum is at a 5 1/2 year low, worst performing PM of the year. Usually, it's higher than gold but now $57 below gold.Good time to buy?

If anything, it probably signals that gold is severely overvalued and is being inflated (against deflationary headwinds) by the demand coming out of economic basket-cases like Europe and Japan.

Don't agree as platinum is more commercial based(cars). It would echo deflation while gold, not so much.

Platinum is echoing demand dropping off the cliff, I agree.   Gold will be lower eventually. Something is going to push prices down, might be central banks, or governments having to sell off non-performing assets.

From there  it will probably rise.

Yes.

I picked some up.

But, remember, it's best use is in catalytic converters. So, if manufacturing is down, a lot of Pt will be sidelined.

Over a long haul, definitely yes.

The fact it is now below gold is another piece of evidence Au is indeed manipulated, IMHO.

The best is FedEx reports a surge in profits due to low fuel costs, and a mild weather.

"FedEx Corp. reported a 53% increase in earnings during the holiday quarter, boosted by lower fuel costs, milder weather and the shipping giant's recent restructuring moves."

Apparently the weather was 'mild' for FedEx aircraft and trucks.... but not for everyone else. All the bad data due to weather just got caught in a dirty little lie.

Long SPXU and TLT.

Friday was a loss, but the trend is my friend.  The Fed does not control Oil and Oil prices inversely move Treasuries.

 

Good luck trading -

TLT is Good.
Now, when rates have all gone negative out to say 5 years and less than 1% rest of the way out (might be the bearish case, LOL) TLT'll be trading up another 40+% (Seriously) stawlks will have pricing problems and everybody be looking for somewhere else to park their money and it'll be real assets like Real Estate and Gold.  Huh....
But until them, my nads are hurting from all the fun.

Jesus Christ. All this bullshit over a 25 or 50 basis point raise. If that would/could really destroy our (fake) economy you might as well dive for the windows now LOL. They're gonna raise because they lose what little credibility they have left of they don't. This miniscule raise isn't gonna do much except keep the charade going a little longer...

Russian parliament refuses to hold minute of silence for Boris Nemtsov

 

At a parliamentary session on March 17, Russian Duma member Dmitry Gudkov proposed to hold a minute of silence for the late Boris Nemtsov, who was murdered in late February in central Moscow. “Even though not everyone shared his opinions, I think it would be humane to hold a minute of silence in his memory,” stated Gudkov.

 

State Duma chairman Sergey Naryshkin refused to hold a vote on this issue, claiming that he had already sent a telegram with condolences to Nemtsov’s family members.

On March 17, parliament will meet for the first time since the murder of Boris Nemtsov. The last session was held on the day of the murder, February 27.

The can shall be kicked as that is all that is left for the central planners to do. It's not about the central banks being patient or impatient it's about whether a critical mass of market participants will lose patience with the central bankers' charade.

If I were an Indian Shamun I would go underground. The night before the Snowdyke waddles on stage for her nasal bullshit pontification we witness a blast of the Aurora visibile down to Atlanta. While I personally place no stock whatsoever on hocus pocus supernatural malarkey, I have more faith in the Shamuns, and Quija boards, than I do a bunch of clapdoctor idiot Ivy League economics voodoo charlatans. The central bankers can't even steal with any modicum of intellect. 

Yeah, I would take the Northern Lights as an omen of bad ju ju to come this afternoon. What hatched this?
