Dow Dumps 450 Points From Post-Fed Euphoria Highs, Time To Unleash The Bullard

Tyler Durden's picture




 

It appears we are going to need more dovishness. Following The Fed's admission that all-is-not-well - despite every talking head proclaiming liftoff imminent - the implicit lower-for-longer dovishness of The Fed has not been embraced by the "market." It appears a tipping point in Fed credibility may have been reached... but then again it is a quad witching.

 

From 16,837 highs, Dow futures are now down over 450 points...

 

Unleash The Bullard!!

Those days might be gone, bro. Silver appears to be busting out of the monkey zone, and this time the pin-stripe banditos are powerless to stop it. Those of you waiting for $12 AG will be waiting the rest of your lives. Including premium, we are already at $20, and today might be the day that stawks break, sending even more into the phyzz realm.

yes, exactly. one wonders how they feel TODAY. the entire mealy mouthed text regarding nirp:

Fed officials don't think they will be able to hit their price target until 2018. For Mr. Kocherlakota, this failure means any move to boost rates would be a mistake. It appears that he now wants the Fed to do more to help the economy.

"Let me be clear that negative interest rates was not something that we considered very seriously at all today. It was not one of our main policy options" under consideration, Ms. Yellen said.

By and large, that is because the economy, despite facing rising risks, is doing pretty well and over time will need less, not more, Fed support, she said. "I don't expect that we're going to be in a path of providing additional accommodation," Ms. Yellen said.

That said, Ms. Yellen didn't knock the idea down completely. She said that "if the outlook were to change in a way that most of my colleagues and I do not expect, and we found ourselves with a weak economy that needed additional stimulus, we would look at all of our available tools."

Using negative rates is "something that we would evaluate in that kind of context," Ms. Yellen said.

I guess I prefer to shave with Occam's Razor, so when a no-volume pre-Fed ramp is immediately followed by an option expiration Friday (rather than just another post-FOMC Thursday), doesn't it make sense the returning big money would want prices down closer to the option strikes that help them, likely not near the 50 DMAs we'd nearly spiked to (?)

Christmas will be dismal and ObamaCareLess premiums are set in almost every single state to increase by double digits, some as much as 23%.  That will go well toward the phony GDP, but will crush the "Consumer Spending" to higher levels.  NIRP & QE will be the last ditch effort before real :in our faces Capital Controls are enacted.  Will they uphold this through the election cycle or do they even want to; King Obama.  God desires that we know Him, that is salvation in a nutshell and the Gospel is referred to as The Gospel of Peace; what mankind always cries aloud for and never finds because he always looks in the wrong place or person or book.

The FED anticipated this as a possibility, which is why two FED mouthpieces are scheduled to speak on SATURDAY, but they have neglected the fact that they have lost all credibility except in their own circles.  Good thing it is Friday, one reason the meeting are always on a Thursday.  Also, the PPT has yet to come out yet and as I said the past few days the run-up on the markets was also in anticipation of the probability they needed to mitigate what we are seeing.  1940 on the S&P is the maintenance target for now and I suspect at the end of this day; it will land near there (+/- 8) with a lot of help from the PPT.  Then they will have the weekend to make a new plan to keep the monster afloat..

The currency war just got heated up by the non-rate hike decision.  They are damned if they do and damned if they don't; they will need to do many more shenanigans behind the scenes, than they are already do, to keep this one afloat.  I say they are & will have some measure success.

 

If they had raised interest rates, the emerging markets would have had to dump US Treasuries in greater numbers and get USD to buy there own currencies to keep them propped up.  This would in turn cause a quicker and more powerful disaster...damned if they do or don't.  The decision was the best of the worse; like voting for a Bush or a Clinton.

According to Macquarie Research:
 
https://app.box.com/s/hx16540dwpct4uj5h5iohxsa4197zozd
 
Time for a policy U-turn?
 
Back to the future: British Leyland
 
From conventional QEs to more unorthodox policies…
 
- As discussed (here and here), we do not believe that investors are likely to benefit from acceleration in growth rates, trade or liquidity and indeed on the contrary, negative feedback loops from EMs to DMs imply that neither would be able to support global growth. Secular stagnation is the key explanatory variable (here). The deflationary pressures from overleveraging, overcapacity and technology shifts can be either allowed to work through economies or the public sector needs to continue resisting via expansionary policies.
 
- Since ’08, monetary policies were doing most of the lifting with limited participation by fiscal authorities (bar China). In other words, in the absence of either private or public sectors driving higher velocity of money, it was Central Banks that were supplying incremental liquidity to preclude contraction of nominal GDP and avoid stronger deflationary pressures.
However, marginal utility of incremental injections has been declining (witness much lower impact of recent ECB’s QE and increase in BoJ accommodation since Dec ’14).
 
- Part of the reason for monetary stimulus fading is that supply of US$ remains low. Global economy continues to reside on a de-facto US$ standard and current incremental supply is almost non-existent (depending on definition growing at +2%/-1% clip vs. average since ‘01 of ~15%). In other words, due to lack of recovery in the US velocity of money and lack of QEs, global economy is not getting enough US$ to continue leveraging.

 
…as efficacy of conventional monetary QE is questioned
 
- At the same time efficacy of continuing with conventional QE policies is being challenged and not just by independent observes but also ‘insiders’ (such as recent SF Fed paper). As velocity of money globally continues to fall, conventional QEs have to become exponentially larger, as marginal benefit declines.
If the public sector is not prepared to step aside, what other measures can be introduced to support nominal GDP and avoid deflation?
 
- There are several policies that could be and probably would be considered over the next 12-18 months. If the private sector lacks confidence and visibility to raise velocity of money, then (arguably) the public sector could. In other words, instead of acting via bond markets and banking sector, why shouldn’t public sector bypass markets altogether and inject stimulus directly into the ‘blood stream’? Whilst it might or might not be called QE, it would have a much stronger impact and unlike the last seven years, the recovery could actually mimic a conventional business cycle and investors would soon start discussing multiplier effects and positioning in areas of greatest investment.

 
British Leyland failed, but it might work at least for a while
 
- British Leyland (formed from nationalized British car companies in the late ’60s) destroyed its automotive industry but for a time it provided employment and investment. Central Banks directly monetizing Government spending and funding projects would do the same. Whilst ultimately it would lead to stagflation (UK, 70s) or deflation (China, today), it could provide strong initial boost to generate impression of recovery and sustainable business cycle. It could also significantly shift global terms of trade (to the benefit of commodity producers) and cause a period of underperformance by our ‘Quality & Stability’ portfolio and improve performance of ‘Anti-Quality’ screen. What is probability of the above policy shift? Low over next six months; very high over the longer term.
