'All-Clear' As Europe Recovers Post-NFP Losses
All it took was a Frenchman losing his nerve, some chatter on QE, and a few more weak US and EU data points, and hope for better Chinese GDP, and sure enough - free-money-flow is back on the table and risk assets are responding. European equity and credit markets have all but totally recovered to their Thursday closing (pre-NFP-plunge) levels. European sovereigns are mixed with Portugal 27bps wider than pre-NFP, Spain unch, and Italy -11bps but EURUSD is higher on the day and now back above last Thursday's highs as we note Europe's VIX dropped in sync with US VIX today - still maintaining relatively elevated levels historically relative to the US.
European equity (blue) and credit has recovered almost all the losses from NFP...
while sovereigns are much more mixed...
but financials remain underperformers and LTRO Stigma has hardly budged...
EURUSD is rallying nicely as the all-clear has been given - now back to above last Thursday's highs.
And European VIX has dropped but remains elevated relative to the US (even as risk assets have recovered more of the losses in Europe than the US)...

Extreme despair to maintain the dollar value of holdings.
Does anybody remember MF Global? They kept buying italian bonds to keep the price up until JPM called the margin.
All-Clear......yeah.....I'm not falling for that for the 1000th time.
I just realized that "Doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results" works both ways
Correct. For the ones who get sucked in, it's true, it works both ways.
L0L! there's that timing thing, again?
and in the long run...
'ALL CLEAR' for this morning....but we have no idea how we keep it together this afternoon!
We're about at that point now.
so is it:
QE to infinity
or
infinity to QE?
:(
I just love these "free markets". Don't you all agree?
Heh. So long as I'm able to buy gold and silver and have it delivered...
JH Christ, are the dip(shit) buyers just lucky? or smart? I swear!!!
it's the last of the suckers
Robots decided it was party time.
More FED cotton candy sure to follow, so regardless of earnings or the real economy it's "buy, buy, buy" at Skynet.
the dollar is down almost a hay-penny to 79.3. eb
it's hard to imagine anything more fuking bullish...
The free money buffet is open again after a VERY temporary closing, zero interest, all you can spend, please clean you plate before going back for seconds and thirds...
Actually, if you look at the Dow daily..... this is the start of the the right shoulder of a H&S top. If true, H&S top should be complete about 4/20-25.
We'll see.
Talk about H&S take a look at Tax Revenues:

Well this is just stupid at this point...really no point in even paying attention anymore.

Too Soon to Say US Economy Out of Danger: Fed’s Dudley
Right and you ass wipes (the FED) haven't been able to do an f'n thing about it in 4 f'n years because you can't. All you can do is give the taxpayers money to the banks which we are going to throw your asses into jail and give you the death penalty for doing.
Dudley DoRight's Headed to Prison. Fucker.
Welcome to the Matrix
BTFD now redux
What else did you expect after Goldman closed its "long" Russell 2000 recommendation?
From yesterdays doom and gloom on ZH it was evident that rally will occur and yet again my morning longs
are well in profit.All sorts of negativity including some FSB "systemic risk charts" indicated bears getting killed.
Like from about Dec 20:)
Never thought I would live to see such manipulation ans outright fraud in the US financial sytem. What a pity!
