Best "Santa Rally" In 4 Years Ends With Lump Of Coal

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Happy Holidays...

 

This is the best 'week before Christmas' since 2011... Did we pull forward all that hope-strewn Santa Rally meme?

 

Best week for stocks since the first week of October... A Total melt-up off Friday's OPEX lows

 

On the day an overnight dip was bought... and then puked into the early close

 

Seems like everyone and their pet reindeer was hedged...

 

And credit started to weaken notably...

 

And Bonds diverging...

 

Notably, Energy broke a 3-day winning streak despite higher oil prices

 

Post-FOMC, stock gave back most of their post-Fed gains...

 

And even stocks decoupled from oil's exuberance...

 

Treasury yields did not play along with equity exuberance today but ended the week up 4-5bps (curve flat)

 

The USDollar Index slipped lower again today to end the shortened week down 0.8%... worst week in 3 weeks and worst 4 weeks sicne August black monday crash

 

Commodities were all higher on the week (as the dollar slid)...

 

WTI Crude was up over 5% on the week - its best week since the end-of-August "Andy Hall Ramp' Melt up.

And what inspired this ripfest... surgingh oil and gasoline prices - "unequivocally good" for Americans - oh wait!

One last pumping of the decimated consumer corpse on a holiday travel weekend?

Do you need a license to shoot one of them robotic reindeer?

Is it inhumane to club it between the antlers? ;-)

This is a huge story that will be buried by every state run lottery.  Ready between the lines, the article discusses the insiders having information about the "random" number generators being used but...the fraud could only have been accomplished by using "random" number generators that have a predetermined number selected well in advance.  If you look at the jackpot sizes at certain times of the year such as holiday periods you will see a non random pattern.  Wonder how much a class action lawsuit would bring?  The lotteries state that players have 1 in x.x% chance of winning on any given drawing but evidently your odds are actually 0.0% when the lottery operators are boosting jackpots because they are selecting numbers that aren't played.

Those charts are for day-traders only. Does ZH really have enough day-traders to bother about?

 My two cents? I think we're seeing some $usd rebalancing.

 If bond yields are rising from the belly to the long end, and $usdx is SINKING along with the NasDARK 100 RISING,,, there's probably some re~balancing happening.

  Merry Christmas Bitchez-- next <short weekbus> trading is going to be a hoot!
