All Hell Breaking Loose In FX On Reports Of Possible Blast In Macau
Following the two theatrical speeches eaelier, we are absolutely nowhere closer to a resolution now than we were 2 hours ago. Perhaps this is why the market is not too happy and as of minutes ago, the USDJPY tumbled to new all time lows (except for that illiquid print from March 17) of 77.89, with the market set to test Noda's repeated bluster that he will finally do something against the "one way Yen." We are not holding out breath. And to confirm that a perfect storm of sorts is on the horizon, adding to the increasing illiquidity in the US and Europe, is the news out of China that 7 day repo rates just surged by 160 bps overnight, the most since July 5, to 6.80%, as the market awaits the selling of CNY 1 billion in 1 year bonds at 10 am Chinese time. If $155 MM of a liquidity outflow can move the needle in China by almost 2%, then we are in deep trouble.

Update: the BOJ may have just intervened. Just look at that chart

Update 2: perhaps not an intervention as we are now getting reports that Macau has been hit by a blast according to Xinhua

OMG! Is Wynn ok?
he is still #wynning
I thought the robots were in complete control of the FX market. If this is control I'd hate to see what chaos looks like.
ah crap, and I bot a few FXE puts today!
lol...nice
Btw wtf is up with arrows? Rating system? Nice work...
OMG, thought the arrows were something I did.
Me too. I like it.
Did I just get on an elevator? What floor is ladies lingerie?
Lol..ladies lingerie..that's a green arrow (press)
Ladies lingerie is on the 3rd floor....going UP
ladies lingerie is better ...going down.
+ some sort of green presses mr. S Tyler
i was on an elevator car alone headed to a hotel lobby when it stopped at another floor for a pickup. when the doors opened there were two attractive young ladies waiting...unsure of the direction of the elevator, one of the ladies asked "going down"....after about a 3 second pause with me looking at her intently, i declared "maybe later..??". the lady looked dumbfounded at me for a few seconds and then after realizing her comment and my reply she got a chuckle out of it...i then informed them that it was indeed headed down to the lobby. on the ride down, i could hear giggling/chuckling and when we got off at the lobby, there was actually laughter between the two of them as we walked different ways...ah, the subtle wit in life is the truly the best.
tl;dr

Did Ron Paul ever smoke cigarettes in his life?
If Ron Paul said,"I really don't think it's a good idea to be killing brown children on the other side of the planet with US un-manned drone airplane attacks."
"I don't think it's constitutional to do, and in fact it's probably against the Geneva Convention as well. I think it's a sin to be doing it. That's my Christian side coming out. I delivered over 4000 babies you know."
The Beauty of the US Constitution is; If you add something to the US Constitution and you find it's not such a good idea after all, you can always take it back.
Nice one mynhair.
I want all negative arrows on this site. Some people are just little bitches and like to click minus arrows on the internet, thinking that's going to change things.
Whatever gets you through the night, fruits.
+5 to -7. Here we go, bitchez.
Here are three things I read on the internet that I know to be true. Two of them came from this site:
Give me your negative arrow, fruits. I'm sure you will sleep better at night knowing you live in a feedback loop.
And good luck with your internet activism. BTW, what is TZOO trading at...
...and this is a really good tune:

holy shit how am I getting downgraded on a comment about the rating system? I guess I'll go cry in my beer...btw whoever is responsible great rating system...like the colors
LOL, your score is only one "but mine goes to eleven.") l:-)
spinal tap ref...that's a green press...
Fine...might I suggest that ZH set up a green arrow red arrow futures market? Junk at your leisure...
Seriously...take it offshore...judging by the response it'll b a goldmine...I await your red arrows...
I don't know why you got so many red arrows. It was your post that alerted it to me and I thought it was great. When I saw all the red ones you had for what I was thought was helpful post I kinda...decided to pile on because I found it funny you had so many negative comments. Dunno why you picked then up before that!
thanks man...your'e ok...if youre ever Austin you're welcome at my place...cheers!
Caerus, I was just having some fun, really no idea. Austin??? I'm a Canadian and one night on the interstate across Louisiana a convoy of pickups with Texas A&M flags and banners on went passed us in the other lane (they'd played LSU). I was with a few friends from Texas so I decided to impress them by giving them that Hook 'em Horns sign with my fingers and fist out the window even though I had no horse in that race...well it wasn't a good idea!
No idea why I'm writing this I gotta stop drinking...
Lol...yeah we got some strong characters round here...guns behind every blade of grass and all..for the most part we 're good people...some of us even read
I'[m digging it. RobotTrader / CogDiss ETFs and volatility trades on inflammatory posts will be the new order of the day.
I still like the colors
as a side note: it seems that almost all of the congressional websites have crashed due to overload after Obama called on the 'American People' to contact congress.
Hypnotic... :)
We, as members of the fight club, have the responsibility to knock out all the remaining congressional websites that haven't crashed. Please contact your congressman and tell him you DON'T want the debt ceiling raised.
Love the rating system
stfu
double goddamned posted
The volatility is due to millions of retail schmoes daytrading after hours on their 400:1 levereaged accounts, many which are getting whipsawed by their Forex "Watch the Money Roll In" Gridbot algos trying to churn out a $1,000 retail FX account.
I love you, man.
I luv the bra.
Looks like RT is going to stress test the red arrow function already. Whats it cap out at?

Quit playing with yourself and check out this arrow system, dumbass. I junked you, but it kicked up your "+" score more than the point you were insulted with. WTF?
Are we stuck in a psychological experiment?
I hope we haven't been matched as subjects. I'd kill your ass.
Lemme know what you think about the rating system, though.

Blast at Golden Dragon Hotel. 13 injured. No reported deaths... yet.
And that's causing all hell to break loose in the currency markets?
Hysterical.

...was going to mention something funny about gold and the Golden Dragon etc... but, man, had to take a step back.

Shitty/corrupt Chinese contractors or MOOSLUMS?
Did the Macau (Israeli) casinos fleece one too many chinese and the chinaman got pissed off?
Not sure what happened, but I just lost a decent chunk of change on GBP/JPY
Add this to the list not to be left out ...PRISTINA, Kosovo (AP) — Kosovar special police units launched an operation overnight to take control of two disputed border crossings in Kosovo's northern Serb-run border region, the Kosovar interior minister said Tuesday.
Hell, watch the up votes when Baby Blythe posts.
She promise to lose those now legal pants?
Good Question.
Good God, this place is a sausage convention.
I think there are 4 confirmed females on ZH and you guys pop wood every time Baby Blythe posts.
Rub one out already.

EUR 1.44 at options close?
Crap, closed the Fx screen and junked you. Sorry.
Thanks mynhair... I'm short of the Bollies!!! I'm pleased you are studing the F/X market... Nice work.
Would the boxes not simply disappear if they colored them in white?
damn, that and the 500 big one from the Japan money men. Mandelbrock chaos trades cut lose. Equities (Asia) should go mental.

13 injured in suspected gas blast in Macao English.news.cn 2011-07-26 10:28:57MACAO, July 26 (Xinhua) -- At least 13 people were injured in a suspected gas explosion in the Hotel Golden Dragon of Macao on early Tuesday morning, police said.
Police said eight of the injured have been sent to hospitals and all of them's condition are stable.
The incident occurred at around 7 a.m. local time and the glass of the main entrance of the Hotel Golden Dragon were smashed.
The area has been cordoned off and the firefighters were clearing the site.
Firefighters said they suspected that gas leakage led to the blast.
I have a hard time beliving an upscale hotel/casino has gas canister powered stoves in its restaurant. Aren't those mainly for portable stoves?
Right...right... There's always lots of gas stored near the main entrance glass of major hotels!
The story has been updated to say that gas canisters were found
Maybe the "gas leakage" was from a firing chamber of a delivery device...
There fore 'they' can be comfortable in being technically correct/honest..
<smile>
I tried to junk myself, but my greenies went north, what is up with this? Only Robo can fix this. Sweet Poly Purebread pleads: "Oh where, oh where, has my Robotrader gone, oh where oh where can he or she be????
There are too many buttons here for me. I am going to quit ZH and get a job with the Fed, so the only button I have to push is the print button.
I don't know what happened, but when I clicked on the red down arrow it said "minus one".
You are unqualified for Fed employment, otherwise you would be looking for the 'porn' button.
Uuuurrrrpppp
(That's how you handle those second clicks on save, dips.)
What happens next with China? Who is going to buy the debt?
ECB will Ponzi it back to the Fed. That loaned it to them in the First Place...
SAD but TRUE.... PBOC is buying Piigs debt at penny's on the dollar. The Japanese won't sell PBOC JGB's anymore...
Big fire. Steve Wynn put an Owebama wet blanket on it.
OMG, too funny!
Agreed...green press
A blast that kills 13 people move the markets that much....?
Nah...
It's all about YIELD. Thirteen isn't much YIELD. Stop thinking of humans as real people, but rather as YIELD PRODUCERS.
Rates are lower in the U.S. at the shorter end of the curve, this is bound to have a billowing effect on the Yen. Secondly, no reports of any kind as to the structure of real estate and debt in Asia, whether denominated in Yen, Yuan, HK Dollar or Thai Bhat.
So you have watched that3% level on 10's?
Is it getting back up there soon?
YES
EUR has gone HFT meltup. panic buys.
OpEx. Ignore it.
so where's the good news? In a few days, china's high speed rail is hit by some bizarre accident, then a hotel in macao has a gas explosion, I'm sure the building codes are carefully followed by china's central planners

I am testing the new system. Why has the NZD gone through the roof?
Bo Dietl Just called Nancy Pelosi "A PIECE of GARBAGE" on Faux business live during the "Follow the money" show.
10 minutes ago while I was watching !!!!
What a riot !!!!!!!!!!!!
LOL
I'm long eur/jpy right now!!! And loving it... USD is a ( BETWEEN) Currency...
I am testing the new system. Why has the NZD gone through the roof?
Because it's (NZD) pegged to the Euro and Usd. By default it's pegged to the SPX, and commodities... NZD is a fun trade and nothing more... look at the spreads and liquidity.
Obama and Boehner speak and a hotel in Asian has a gas explosion? Boy have they done great things with HAARP or what.
I watched Fonzi jump the shark when it first aired.
Am I watching ZH do the same?
I thought jump the shark was in Bay Watch ! I personally don't ever want to see the Fonz in speedos ! Monedas 2011 Happy Days Heresy
I'm sick of this. If there is going to be a New World Order, there needs to be a New World Time. Who gives a rat's ass where the sun is anymore? If it's 11pm here, it should be 11pm everywhere. What, you can't adjust your clocks?
WE NEED A NWT!
I'd go along with a universal, world wide 5pm.
Meet you ~half-way at 8:30 and call it a compromise? I can borrow a half hour..
What say we go the Keynsian route and call this moment "0:00" and just go on to infinity from here?
