Stocks Down, Bonds Down, Gold Down, Crude Down, Dollar Down

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Sell Mortimer, Sell!

Traders are selling stocks...

And bonds (no safe haven there)

 

And gold (no safe haven there)

 

As Crude tumbles...

Even as the dollar drops..

 

And Europe is getting slammed...

The HFT bots have to sell in order to buy.

First-in / first-out means they are always making money - off of anyone else in the "markets".

So, the world ends not with a whimper but with a Wall Street death graph spiral.  And there is panic in Raqqa as the Mossad jihadists find their "bolt hole" stock and currency portfolio plunging in value at the same time Russian bombers are dumping cluster bomb munitions on their Captagon meth plants.

Gold was averaging $371/oz back when winthorpe was getting shafted. That's plenty deflation right there

I'm still amused that we find a -0.75% move in gold newsworthy.

The dollar index is down for December as well, especially against the Euro and Yen. We get constant "gold is down because of the strong dollar" talk - even by some gold pundits. But you will never hear the intrepid financial reporters ask the question - "why is gold down if the dollar is down" - because they don't like where that answer will go.

@ NoWay,

The answer would be that we Pure Evil Criminal Psychopaths sell paper contracts to surpress the price of Gold of which we hold no actual Physcial of.

-1.7% 

But it was a series of small drops that took gold from $1,900 to $1,060 today. 

But the more important question is, if everything else if going down, including the dollar, then why is gold, supposedly the ultimate "safe haven" also going down?

What is the practical difference between the PPT and the Exchange Stabilization Fund?  The latter is part of the Treasury Department.  The former, I'm not sure.

I read somewhere that the Exchange Stabilization Fund has billions of dollars at its disposal to use to manipulate markets.  No one knows.  They won't disclose it.  Your Congressman or Senator couldn't even find out.

Bail in laws in Europe become effective January 1,January 4 then is when I suspect RBS,Deutsche and other Euopean zombies to unravel some of the duct tape and bubble gum holding them together and start feeding on deposits.Derivatives must be unravelling on several fronts but they have kept a hat on the turd to the point they can steal losses back off customers...we are close to a major correction

I sure don't understand how the EU can put a smiley face on itseft when it is already broke and in debt up to its eyeballs but now has to feed, house, school and employ 1 million or more refugees.  Talk about unsustainable.

How do you make the site viewable on a smaller tablet? Comments get destroyed into 1 word per line with ads hidden on top. Even with adblocker its just a blank frame on top of comments.

The newsworthy part is that there are essentially zero negative correlations across all asset classes.  This is genuinely weird.
