Dow Dumps 450 Points (Back Below 17,000) As Crude Oil Crashes Into Red

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Dispppointing drops in China and US Manufacturing PMIs, combined with a record glut, appears to have trumped Mid-East tensions and sent WTI plunging back into the red. This has triggered another round of selling in US equities, sending The Dow down 450 points and back to a "16" handle...

"Un-Growth" trumps "War Premium"

 

and sends The Dow crashing...

The Dow could have a good 15 minutes later today but that's as long as it can hold an erection.  Janet is all out of viagra.  She used her last pill when she said she would raise rates.

Has everyone noticed the Fed failed to raise rates.  How is that for shooting credibility in the foot?

Fuck this shit.  I have learned my lesson.  This market will ramp at around 3:30 pm and close green for the day.  The FEDERAL RESERVE is in control of this market.  Nothing will stop this market from correcting.  This market will finish in the green at the end of 2016.

The Dow was negative in 2015.  The Fed said they would hike rates 25 bps yet the rate has stayed unchanged.  Sure they can ramp for a half an hour or so but the return on their easing methods is diminishing.  If they do another outright QE - publically I will add since the PPT operate daily through the POMO desk, as does the Treasury by way of ESF - they might be able to bounce equity again, but the cost will be staggering - putting pressure on the dollar - and everyone will know this is only way of buying time.

The yoyo markets will be walking the dog this year, do they walk that far back? I don't think so, not till they have a reason to get the Fed into the QE mindset again, liquidity is vapourizing, volatility increasing.

The stockmarket usually plays the first day of the as a marker for the remaining year's trade, tack a zero onto the % move today, and you'll see the year lows. So the theory goes, if the Fed is to roll out QE this year they will need to be given a reason, that's the message being put out today unless there's some movement up from these lows.

China down 7%, DAX down 4.5%, Nikkei down 3%, US equity down 2.5% to 3%, oil just flash crashed, and you want the 3:30 ramp.

Don't get greedy Janet.  The markets are fragile.

when these mini drops occur I always play "We Can Be Together" by Jefferson Airplane, crank it up as loud as can be so the neighbors can hear my favorite line: "Tear down the walls motherfucker".  Reminds me of the old days.

The dollar index is so out of whack the charts look like a spazoid's EEG.

They traded over 600,000 contracts at 10:30-11:00 to undo what silver had done.

These rats behind the curtain are a boil on the ass of society. A huge and angry one.

What's all the hub-bub? The way the stocks are rigged, it can drop 2 thousand points in one day, then by the next 2 days it's up 3 thousand. And then all the girls and cross dressers at CNBC shout for joy as to what was all the crying about.  There is SO MUCH money in it, primarily from the Feds, that it can never crash big time. And I'm sure the Feds still send money to their boys in Goldman Sachs so they won't lose any money, using that money to play the markets. It's all a racket. Even Al Capone, back in the day, trie to steer people away from the markets before the big crash, telling them, "It's a racket!" Go figure that one out!

Unless they WANT the markets to crash to bring about greater fascism.  Why do people discount the reality that the Fed works for international banks and does not give a shit about this country?

This year is starting out awesome.  Gold and silver ramp over night, world equity starts off in the red, the Fed hasn't been able to hike rates yet even though they said they could.  The system needs all this to cleanse itself.

The fiat ponzi system needs to be washed out.  If that means gold revalues to $50k or stocks dump into dust something needs to be cleared out.  Too many stupid people go about their business not caring that the Fed and their charter banks (JPM/GS/etc) have the world by the balls.  This system needs to die for the good of humanity.

A lot of volatility in the USD will most likely be heading our way. I could easily see a risk off situation with the JPY rallying to the 105-110 level in the coming weeks.
