S&P Futures Tumble 1.5% At Open: ES Down 33, Brent Under $60

Tyler Durden's picture




 

The number everyone's been waiting for all afternoon is finally here: moments ago ES opened for trading after the holiday weekend and it's not pretty, down 1.5% to 2035 in early illiquid trading. Expect many wild gyrations especially if China, which is set to open in three hours, is unable to halt its market crash having now thrown everything and the kitchen sink at the relentless selling.

 

The SNB is already in place, ready to sell CHF and buy every EUR it can get its hands on to avoid another embarrassing incident:

 

And here is Brent, sliding under $60 for the first time since April:

We hope the NY Fed and its less than arms length Citadel ES spoofing relationship, or at least the SNB, will be up to the task of pushing futures higher as the overnight session progresses to preserve the artificial sense that "all is well" in a world that may never be the same again.

There will be a story, before the open, that promises a deal.  Futures on the DOW will rise and we will have a up 50 open, even all day, and down 20 at the end of the day.  Computers rule the day and nothing we can do about it.

Oh please, the pre-market is fantasy wish-fulfillment.  It's the "expected" knee-jerk result, a "gimme" to everyone who thinks they have the market figured out.  "Market down 2% in the futures?  That makes sense because of GREECE!"  Then, when it opens, the unreality begins and we're up 2% by market close.

Bill Gross made the call on European interest rates and it was spot on.

Obviously those rates must go higher now to compensate for the "Greek Contagion."

So far that has meant a bid for the Euro...a bitter irony for "Greece" I would think but we shall see.

"Panic buying of Yen" is counter-intuitive.

Rates will continue to move higher in the US...who knows, maybe even the Fed will raise them to a quarter a point this Fall.

You can expect the CBs to be all over this. Armageddon is a notorious no-show. Things will even out by CB action no matter what. They need a "so what, we got this, totally expected" reaction by COB Monday. But I would think USTs will rise, rates drop. Gotta hide the money somewhere.

That e-mini drop was on very little volume. I think many are waiting for a bit more clarity about possible outcomes. 

 

If the recent past is any indicator,  we would see a move back up 15 min candle by 15 min candle to about the 2/3 mark on the open drop, with a dump back down happening at opening when the volume shows up.  

 

On the other hand we might get another jawbone stick save by the FED as they have done many times (Aug 17 2006, Oct 18, 2006 just to remember a painful couple).

As we watch the relatively predictable Greek debacle we have to wonder what the countermeasures will be. In a rational world it would be straightforward default, liquidation, market clearing and new debt rating for the freeloading Greeks.

We do not live in a rational economic world any more. In fact, all investors are really not wondering about Greek solvency. They are calculating what the international central planners will do. They will therefore move money not rationally but in response to central planners.

My guess is that when the central planners finally fail, and they will, the crash will be many times the disaster of a simple liquidation.
