Another Day, Another US Dollar Flash Crash
You know things are illiquid, turmoiling, insane, entirely non-human odd, when the world's reserve currency flash-crashes on a regular basis...
And a close up...

It always begins with a whimper and ends with bang....
from uhhhhh.....to ohhhhh...to OOOOHHHH FUCKKKKK.....
like that...
old pattern...
May the dollar die ingloriously....kicked and spat and crushed into it's worthless reality....
How could the $ not tumble with an imminent Greek default in less than 2 weeks?
U.S. investment banks have HUGE exposure, esp. on the derivative side!
Greece in default if debt deadline missed, says Lagarde
been a while since ive visited my ZH brethren. I must say things seem to be really heating up now! Project mayhem in full swing
Oh yeah ... here's another one!
MASSIVE $8.5 Billion Black Hole In Pentagon’s Multi-Year Budget -- Where's the missing money?
That must of been the exact nanosecond that some important economic statistic was being computed, using the figure at the very bottom as the metric, of course. Look! Everything's rosy!
Just watch the GBP, just like in 2008, up and up it went, and all other currency kept going down & down and down, markets shortly started tanking thereafter...
http://www.investing.com/currencies/eur-usd <<< The GBP affects the USD & 99.9% of all other currencies as well....
Federal Reserve policy official theme song for the US dollar...

Little dutch boy must have his finger in the dike.
Double post. I beg your pardon.
Lagarde used the word 'default' ? I thought default was a relic of Capitalism... no one defaults ever in the new Deficitism
Deficitism...*Golf Clap*
Defi what?
"How could the $ not tumble with an imminent Greek default in less than 2 weeks?...."
What i don't understand is the sudden rise in gold price?
WTF?
The quick rise in Au is interesting.
I bought some on the downside, but it fell off the pickup truck somewhere.
Tumble in what might appear an orderly fashion is one thing. Flash crashes are a whole other story.

Anyone have a source for this statment?
It's simply following the laws of thermodynamics and proceeding towards its ultimate equilibrium value: zero.
love the smell of intropy in the marnin'
entropy smells pretty good too
This is just one example of how the US boosts confidence in the dollar.

How did we get onto the subject of relationships with women?
those flash crashes are reflecting the lack of liquidity in the credit market. before the summer has passed the fed will have no choice but to launch overt QE. I say overt because in reality they never stopped monetizing the debt; it is just being hid now. that is the only way these overnight flash crashes--especially with CDSs--have been averted.
Phat Phingers
Slowly at first...then ALL OF A SUDDEN
Sing it!
bum..bum..bum..another Indian bites the dust...
Outbreak of dysentery in China coupled with a shortage of toilet paper ??
It was because Lack Joo announced they're putting a woman on the $10 bill. Progress.
Janet Yellen? Hooray!
Did he say when a gay would be on there? Just wondering.
I thought Alexander Hamilton clinched that spot already ?
The old picture of Hamilton looked a lot like Barbara Bush.
<-- strong usd is the problem
<-- this is not a problem /s
and operation Jade Helm is just an innocent exercise.... uh huh.

Jade Helm? Texas gold depository? Non confiscation law? What will Texas call their new state currency, Longhorn????
Gettin serious.
"Longhorn?" Like the codename Microsoft used for Windows Vista while it was under development?
Gonna be knee slappin' guffaws when Macondo FiendBURG steals the pensions on top of deval.
I'm gonna need more popcorn.
He's going to make sure stuff is "fair"...lol.
the last move before collapse of the dollar, because it represents the aging, drug addled, dementia riddled, incontinent(lol) western toilet paper system, would be a strengthening as the charmin of western toilet paper before they can't print enough to effectively wipe all the splatter off their ass.
Poetically put. You have a way with words.
It is a shame those crashes last so short.
and all of a sudden with no questions ask at ZH the oil/$ inverse relationship fails? Wake the hell up.
lol The euro shorts are getting taken to the cleaners. Oil is looking heavy again, even with the $usd selloff.
All these wags are talking about September and the "Shemitah" (sp?).
I don't know if we will ge to September.
I've been thinking the same thing!
Flash crashes are a symptom of fake liquidity.
Um. I would have said "algo".
