The Farce Is Complete: Stocks Soar Most In 4 Years As US Job Market Disintegrates

Tyler Durden's picture




 

We suspect more than a few traders will need this tonight...

First things first, we have this...

Chinese stocks (trading in US) rose 6.5% today - the biggest day since May 2010:

 

And this  -Today saw an epic squeeze of shorts - "most shorted" surged 5% off the opening lows which is the largest swing we could find on record

 

And finally this: Today was the biggest intraday reversal higher in The Dow since 2011

 

Thanks to this...

With cash indices all ramped into green for the day:

 

But there was only one thing driving US equities today... USDJPY, which got the momo going:

 

And a collapse in VIX finished it off:

 

And US equities (except Small Caps) were ramped all the way into the green for the week, even Trannies

 

But credit was not buying it at the end:

 

Away from the silliness in stocks, everything else was 'silly' too:

Treasuries soared at the payrolls print with yields collapsing and flattening across the curve... before Europe closed and the Treasury selling was unleashed...

 

But remained lower on the week:

 

The USD was crushed lower after payrolls but bid back to the moon alice after Europe closed:

 

Commodities were very mixed on the week but industrials soared later in the day after precious metals exploded on payrolls data:

 

But Silver (up 6%) was the big winner from Payrolls:

 

And here is crude on the week... testing and failing at the week's close...ramping today onthe rig count dcline after tumbling after payrolls

 

The bottom line - The Pure-Play QE Trade is back on... but be careful what you wish for because of reflexivity...

Charts: Bloomberg

It is quite amazing how a Muslim Revolutionary has occupied the White Mosque and nobody in the Military has arrested him.

Gentlemen, you may now assume the US Military will be ordered to hunt down and kill you.

It is a sad shape we are in, but anyone wearing a "US Military"uniform must now be considered the Enemy. It is tragic that we must kill our own people wearing our  nation's uniform, but they have cast their lot with Hussein. You cannot have any sympathy, once they come for you you must terminate them with Extreme Prejudice. The American Soldier is now your Enemy  I wish to God there was another way, but these soldiers have no allegiance to the United States. They have sworn an Oath to Bath House Barry. This is waht it looks like:

The Wehrmacht Oath of Loyalty to Adolf Hitler, 2 August 1934

"I swear by God this sacred oath that to the Leader of the German empire and people, Adolf Hitler, supreme commander of the armed forces, I shall render unconditional obedience and that as a brave soldier I shall at all times be prepared to give my life for this oath."

Every American Soldier now Swears this Oath To Bath House Barry.

We did have a great Country, once.

Carry on.

I did not know that the greatest Fuhrer of all times could speak Englisch. Ein Fuhrer, ein Volk, ein Vaterland sounds better.

Well, let's see. In 2000, most people lost most of their retirement money. in 2008 the banks failed and are still invsolvent zombies. Now the only thing holding the stock market up is the Fed/PPT. Just about everything you care to think of in the US, including privacy and freedom, has been utterly destroyed. My only question is how long can they keep it up for?

There is almost enough volatility to make me want to start trading again. Also, love the ZH Gartman skewering, I do miss the GS muppet killing days.

Sorry Tyler.

Fiorina will be the next GOP candidate to go once Bush is gone.

Bush dropping out is a non-factor. America was not going to vote for a 3rd Bush no matter what, the same way Clinton has a 0% chance of being elected.

The Black Sox threw a few games to scam a couple thousand bucks from a Jewish mob boss and are considered the biggest cheaters in history. The Fed fixed the stock market to steal trillions but they’re heroes because it was stolen from the American working classes!

Its simple; PINKO FASCIST COMMUNISTS desperate to keep the ILLUSION of prosperity in the USSA alive buy stocks thinking the Fed will do/not do anything. These dregs on society will soon pay dearly for their fraudulent behavior. It will be a bloodbath. Heads rolling (literally). They think they are above the law but JUSTICE has a strange way of making things square. Good luck 'cause you're gonna need it...

Nowadays, there is absolutely no relationship between the stock markets and the economy.

Stock markets nowadays only have a relationship with the federal reserve banking system and the government.

We need to start an ETF which bets on the spread for each trading day.

"HFB (High Frequency Buying) is a state of the art algorithm that randomly buys Apple products from Ebay to the tune of 10.000 a second" and there's more... "This wonder of human knowledge developed by Bosch Gmbh, puts the articles back on sale 0.01 nanoseconds later, ensuring minimal exposure while adding trillions to the actual GDP and making your end of year bonuses big enough to buy your own clone of Bar Rafaeli"

Fixed the economy for you...

You can fool all the people some of the time, and some of the people all the time, but only if your the Fed can you fool all the people all the time.

not an active investor but, a couple of days ago there were articles, and questions asked, why were payroll data coming out early in certain places, now we know why, the human investors seen bad news, and shorted stocks,

the machines knew this was good news, this gives the fed. more time with the will they , or won't they raise, for at least 2 more months, more easy money for the machines.

unless your on a first name basis with Janet, Lloyd, or Jamie, step back, go to Vegas, relax for a week, play some slots your odds are better.

Most people need income to pay living expenses, especially the retired people. If they do not invest their savings in stocks and bonds, then where do they get the required income from ????
