Japan's Nikkei 225 Just Gained 1000 Points In 20 Hours

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Presented with little comment aside to ask, just what did The G-20 agree to behind the scenes?

 

After ripping 500 points instantly at Japan's open yesterday, then crashing back 900 points lower, Nikkei 225 Futures have now soared over 1000 points off last night's lows...

 

6% in 20 hours? makes perfect sense!!

Because - despite what G-20 said... China does not seem to have got the message...

Make that +1300 points or 7.5% a couple of hours into the Nikkei 225 trading. 

US Market Futures are ramping up with over 1% .

Wednesday will see a huge upside in the SP500, DOW, NYA, IWM, COMPQ.

Looks like the recent mini-crash will be history before this week is over. BTFD is still on.

So...Syria collapsing, refugees flooding into Europe, diplomatic pressure games with Russia, China imploding, Asian import/export data simply atrocious, retail sales whacked in August, global liquidity squeeze, Brazil swirling the drain, carnage in EM currencies, 94 million US adults not working, and a Fed rate hike imminent...yup, should be good for a thousand point rip on the Nikkie.

Seriously, the only rational explanation I can assign to this might be the fact that the yen, heavily bid last week, just choked on a chicken bone. But that technical matter aside, where does anyone expect the growth to come from to support these higher valuations? This has got to be the most colossally non-discounting market ever.

You wold think with all this greatness I could find a brick of 22 ammo at my local store for, (I was going to say under $20), but at all.. 3 years and still no ammo on the shelves? Its hard to go plinking when you dont know when you fill your reserves. 

If it is based on every 22 owner buying at first site, the next revolution is going to see a lot of plinking wounds, dress accoringly.

Side question, why has not another 22lr mf come online to get the bulk out there? Years of sales in a cornered market seems like a good bet.

As others have said, almost certainly HFT activity. If people want this nonsense to stop (the Exchange won't, they get fees), demand rules that bids and offers have to be held firm for a period material to a human - perhaps 0.5 seconds.

In other news, perforamnce like that could get the N-225 back to where it was a few weeks ago, over 20,000...about 50% of where it was _25 years_ ago.

Just be grateful so many players have no memory...

HFT murdered retail and props through 2011 and although we've had higher prices, participation has dwindled.  Most of what you see now is institutions buying into HFT led moves.  The volumes alone suggest institutions playing catch-up for the second leg of this rip.  These markets are as legit as Pammy's tits.
