Stocks Battered To Black Monday Lows Amid Credit Crash, Biotech Bloodbath, & Commodity Carnage

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Just because...

The epicenter of today's earthquake was Biotech and Corporate Bonds...

Biotechs were bloodbath'd - IBB dropped almost 8% today alone - the biggest drop since August 2011 - testing back to Black Monday lows and now unchanged since October 2014...

This is the longest losing streak for Biotechs since Lehman

Investors should not worry though...

High yield bond prices have fallen for 12 of the last 13 days and today's decline was the biggest daily drop since Nov 2011, breaking towards Nov 2011 spike lows...

In context - this means HYG is unchanged since Lehman!!

*  *  *

All the major US Equity Indices are at or below Black Monday Lows...

 

Some context in The Dow futures...

 

So what did the major equity indices do?

 

Cash indices show Small Caps and Nasdaq were the biggest losers...

 

With everything now red post-QE3...

 

The decoupling between XIV (inverse VIX ETF) and SPY (S&P ETF) has begun to rapidly converge...

 

Financials dropped 2% on the day (with homebuilders, materials, energy and healthcare all battered)...

 

More worryingly, US financials made new 2015 lows (below Black Monday lows) as they continue to catch down to credit risk (as Glancore counterparty risks rise)...

 

There were some other total collapses in stocks that are widely held by hedge funds today...

SUNE crashed another 17% to 2 year lows... (breaking the Black Monday Lows)

 

Not so valiant Valeant after getting a pricing subpoena...

 

And of course - Glencore...

*  *  *

Treasury yields started the day off higher but as data, and fed speak hit along with US Open selling pressure, safe-haven flows flooded into equities... 30Y -9bps is the biggest absolute drop since early July... NOTE: 2s30s has flattened to 4 week lows

 

High yield bond spreads crashed wider today (after the CDX roll) - this was the worst day in at least a year for CDX HY...

 

as Energy credit risk spiked to near record highs...

 

The USDollar was sold after the US Open - having been bid through the Asia, European day...

 

Commodities were mugged all day as we suspect commodity group liquidations and counterparty risk reductions weighed on the whole complex...

 

Silver had its worst day in a month...6 waterfalls...

 

Charts: Bloomberg

Bonus Chart: All The FedSpeak has confused markets even more with 2015 rate hike odds now at record lows...

 

Bonus Bonus Chart: It's all priced in...

Probably more like QE infinity, negative interest rates, then eventually a mother of all crashes or mother of all gradual worldwide declines to great depths. For entertainment, maybe some major wars along the way, before, during, after, or everywhere along the way.

OR central bank financial manipulations will finally do something other than inflate equity prices.

Just kidding with that second case...

Mon, 09/28/2015 - 17:13 | 6603805 newnormaleconomics

Or another crash, global deflationary recession, AND QEternity, NIRP, the Fed overtly buying bank and insurer stocks, equity index futures or ETFs, corporate and muni bonds, and bailing bank C&I and commercial RE loans to the busted shale sector, 1% or lower 10-year Treasury yield, and Aaa yields in the 2% range. 

At that point the bullies will rationalize a P/E of ~100 for the SPX and price projections of SPX 10,000 and Dow 100,000. 

Janet Yellen will have choked, puked, resigned, and been confined to a loony ward somewhere to convalesce, being replaced by a computer directly connected to JPM and GS's offshore shadow banking pass-through entities with HFT. 

The computer can print $20 trillion at -5% NIRP and achieve SPX 10,000 in a few hours. 

We're all going to be stinking, filthy bloody rich.

Yep, that's why I'm never completely certain that a crash is imminent. They probably have all kinds of horrible financial manipulation "nuclear" options they'll resort to rather than admit something that's obvious to everyone but themselves and the "borrow your way to prosperity" bought and paid for governments that love what they hear from them: their economic theory and the models based upon it are SIMPLISTIC GARBAGE, something they'll never admit let alone admit they shouldn't have been centrally planning the entire world's economy in the first place.

It will be QE4 or let it crash then bail out the banks/corporations/insurers all over again.

Who's going to stop them?  The people who can't seem to find Jon Corzine? 

The angry mob that never appeared nor hung anyone last time?

I'm pretty sure they could officially rescind the Constitution and impose martial law - and most Americans would order a pizza and turn on the T.V.'s or Internets.

You are correct, only I figure it can't go on forever like that. At some point you will get supply chain problems as less and less people have jobs and produce meaningful stuff, while more and more people get rich by scamming and stealing. Once the gears are grinding to a halt there is only one way - down. You can't feed a country on your pretty stock index valuations, and not every banker can be a millionaire, it just won't add up, something will have to give.

You might have to force people to work if you don't want to pay them. Then, the people will either rise up or get enslaved. Maybe this is already happening.

Kaervick - Correct forced is happening at prisons. Getting paid .90 an hour pay to make widgets to purchase a $3 a candy bar at the commisary is forced labor. So we're near bottom with geopolitics a real wild card through 2021.

The market had to clear sometime, I just hope we get the rest of the big shitty out all at once. 

This is a hard day for a lot of people. Show class hedgers dont gloat Some people told me they wish they had listened to me and I just tell them I cant say much as I blew a huge wad at the casino  couple months ago (true story). it happens to the best of us.

*or* perhaps they are working to nurture some seedlings of credibility which will be badly needed to control the people during the aftermath.

the controlled demolition will commence when they are good and ready.  likely to be accompanied by hot war, crippling 'cyber attack', the revelation of alien life or some other fucked up cover scenario.

Ha! You crack me up, T1.  Of course, some Russell traders (not me, of course) feel the same way about you ES guys --  VWAP, Schmee-Wap, any index that can be traded with less than 67 intertwining technical indicators, or can't completely retrace a day's move in a single 2-min bar, is for middle-school children, no?  :)  

Seriously, though, it's my opinion, after 4 yrs of trading, that you need to specialize in one thing:  a single index, AAPL options, sewer munis from Cleveland, FOMC releases every other month, etc.  Each item seems to have a unique character, a unique set of nail-biting traders, vicious algos and institutional mavens, so that picking the 'stock of the day' isn't the way to make a living, IMO.

True story there...been trading (while also having a real job) for 18 years...have  eventually come to the point of only messing around with 1 indices and maybe one or two stocks at a time....but have a watchlist about 200 stocks deep. Funny how the longer you watch an instrument how you start to attribute "personalities" to it.

Totally agree with you KCS, focus on one traded instrument, get to know it, how it behaves. You will then gain an edge. With your edge and the simple advantage you already possess of being able to pick and choose when to be in the market you have a chance to beat the odds stacked against retail traders.

“Sell in May”        from “Maggie May”         by  Rod Stewart

Wake up, Janet, I think I’ve got something to say to you
It’s late September and it looks like I’ve been quite a fool
Investors keep you amused, but we feel we’re being used
Oh, Janet, you couldn't have lied any more
You led me away from bonds with the most inglorious of cons
You stole my savings, and that's what really hurts

The fluorescent light when it’s in your hair really shows your age
But that don't comfort me none -- in my eyes, you're no damn sage
I laughed at the Fed’s QE, not once, not twice – but three !?
Oh, Janet, you couldn't have lied any more
You led me away from cash just to stem the economic morass
You crushed my Roth, and that's a pain I can do without

All I needed was the Fed to lend a guiding hand
But you turned into a dove -- and mother, what a dove -– you wore me out
All you did was wreck my Keogh with rates still stuck at zero
Oh, Janet, I couldn't have cried any more
You led me right into stocks just as they were hitting the rocks
You stole my future, I couldn't retire now if I tried

I suppose I could pitch Herbalife or head on back to school
Or sell advertising space on the back of a rented mule
Or find myself a lemonade stand that needs a helping hand
Oh, Janet, I wish I'd never seen your face
My very first trade, you see, marked the peak of the S&P
You tried your best, but I hate you anyway

{cue guitar solo, then scintillating mandolin break}

Janet, I wish I'd never seen your face
I'll get on back to parity one of these days  (Boo-hoo)

Silver was only down –3.69% for the day, taking the spread with spot / premium to –28.69%. This is exactly how you make a small fortune in silver! The mines and leveraged royalties took a worse hit, so maybe there is more downdraft coming for all the metals.

Tough as the metals are now, paying a huge premium to buy now is extra ridiculous.

We're getting pretty close.  Most muppets and viewers of Fast Money can't, won't, or refuse to absorb we just had the "everything is fine" cutesie "relief rally" where emotionally "some folks came back in off the ledge".  these two turds showing worse RS than the overall financials is telling us something.  In my view we still have not yet seen the full force of a global margin call deflationary bust that takes down everything.  

If the Fed was gonna do anything more than just jawbone would they not have already done so and why have over thirty other CBs made moves in 2015 while Yeller has done squat (publicly at least)?  

But, but, but the August plunge was a technical glitch and just an HFT waterfall fat finger cascade.  Everything is fine now.  Nothing to see here move along (except for the huge warning shot fired, subsequent garbage rally, and soon to be unleashed implosion).

The decline on Wall Street today is almost more significant than the original plunge.  I don't think that anyone can look at the Dow now - and not suspect that a much bigger decline is coming.  Any "hope" that this is just some sort of correction ... is pretty much dead.

Too much blathering on the TeeVee bout more downside and maginot lines...think those fuckers are trying to bait more shorts for a Yellen strapon style ass raping sans lube. These CNBS ass clowns are worse than windsocks...one week it's buy every piece of shit you can get your mits around, then next, they smuggly act like they foresaw the selloff and are now giving more instructive advice on how to lose their clients money...multiple personality disorder must be a criterion for becoming a contributing analcyst. Unreal...they all are catching down to Gartman. 

RUT 4hr chart pretty deep in oversold territory, closed right above August lows... bought 1/2 possition OTM TNA calls into the close, this selling has been too orderly IMO...shorts may be geting complacent thinking 52 week low revisits are in the bag.

"one week it's buy every piece of shit you can get your mits around, then next, they smuggly act like they foresaw the selloff and are now giving more instructive advice on how to lose their clients money"

And they get away with it because no one ever comes on and says, "but, didn't you say...?" because they want to be invited back and most are there to hawk their wares, if only by the free advertising they get. This same "fear of lost access" phenomena is the reason why really hard questions are rarely asked in Prez or Fed press conferences. The only truly free press can be found on-line, but you need a good BS filter there, too.

You know our friend RUT, you could milk it all the way back to the 20 DMA, or we could easily roll back to the Oct lows or worse.  Some Keltner trader I know (forget his name) thinks the Daily K-bottom @$60 - 61 is a sure bet before any further lows, but given he never takes overnight positions, he can't be trusted in his prognostications  :)

Slightly off-topic.

All has come clear about the French using 6 Rafaeles to blow up an empty ISIS training camp. They have released a video of the mission. The whole thing was clearly a marketing exercise to show the Rafaeles in 'action' for the benefit of prospective customers.

Most new fighter aircraft contracts outside NATO are going to Russian designs. Plane with incredible performance, as often Half the Price of the over engineered Western Models.

To use a plane like Rafaele against Arabs armed with AK's and RPG's is a fucking hoax! It is not a battle, it is an exercise in dropping bombs on totally undefended empty targets. French have a need to bomb, just to prove their overly expensive Aircraft can fly.

Look at that...just 1.89 away from the 15,000's. If it ends below the 16,000's, I think the selling will kick into higher gear. 2008 is still fresh in many minds, and I don't think people will stick it out if it starts to look like a repeat. This time there will be no 'happy talk' able to stop the momentum, because all the previous happy talk is now known to have been so much bullshit.

No one thinks these gains have been real. The minute they start to fade, the exodus will begin because everyone will be trying to preserve something this time, knowing they may not ever get another chance.

So ... the one time, after getting tired of Russell ninjas torturing post-open daytrading shorts till 1:15 or later, I decide to take only a half TZA position, Russell algos are unable to get back to the first hourly RUT bar's high, where many of us were salivating to add more.  Still I can't complain, in prior years RUT would have made it back to Unch by 3:28, so maybe (emphasis on 'maybe') markets are becoming slightly more sane ?     Nah, I'm talking crazy now ...

Will I be accused of having a 'man-crush' if I admit you're my favorite Russell trader?  Whenever I see a bizarre, classic Russell head-fake, I think "Ah, bet JMF used that silliness to sell rich/buy cheap option premium.

I can say that I'm more optimistic than ever.  The first half of the year was tough, but in a Nietzschean "that which does not kill me" mode, I made a small methodological tweak, found an "elegant" modification that relies more on Hourly charts for exits, yet still retains my characteristic (over)complexity for entries.  After 4 yrs of 70-hr weeks, I think I can relax and just trade, but it will take at least the 4Q to confirm that I've officially joined the Russell fraternity.
