EURUSD Retraces 75% of EUphoria As Credit Underperforms Stocks
With Spanish bond spreads over 30bps wider from their open this morning, EURUSD has just broken its 200-hour moving average trading back close to 1.2500 for the first time since the summit. While this is an 75% retracement of the EUphoria, broad equity markets are only modestly off their highs (we assume on rate cut hopes - which is likely helping driven EUR down a little) - and yet corporate and financial credit spreads are at two-day lows. Hope fades even in equity markets where once we dig into the individual indices that most are down modestly (though Spain and Italy are down around 1%). We also note that Bunds have outperformed Treasuries by 20bps from the initial risk-transfer spike on Friday morning - though TSYs are closed today as Bund yields dropped 10bps from open to close today. On a side-note, Spanish 5Y CDS briefly traded wider than Ireland 5Y CDS today for the first time in two years.
Equity markets did fall a little today but remain up from late yesterday (blue line) but credit markets (both corporate and financial) are notably wider - at two day wides in fact - as the sovereigns start to give back their gains...
EURUSD has retraced 75% of its EUphoria...
as rate-cut hopes and a break of the 200-hour average seemed to provide the impetus on a quietish day...
Meanwhile, Spanish (and Italian) bond spreads are blowing back wider (with Spain almost back to 500bps over Bunds)...
and Bunds are notably outperforming Treasuries now (green line) - as is clear from the chart below as ITA/SPA spreads revert wider and risk transfer is priced back out of Bunds...
and for the first time in two years, Spain and Ireland are trading in line on a 5Y CDS basis...
With Treasuries closed, obviously the spread to Bunds is exaggerated but Bunds have rallied back all their 'risk-transfer' losses from the Summit...
Barclays remains -15.5% (lost around 1% more today) from last Thursday's open (pre-Liebor) and the FTSE was leaking lower into the close.
US equity futures are trading but very thin - currently unch having traded in a 6-7pt range from yesterday's day-session close. While many of the markets that constitute CONTEXT are closed, spreads and FX imply about a 5pt drop in ES at the moment.

Thx Tyler
Bunds outperforming treasuries means Germany saying no soup?
no soup yes goulash
everything is screwed down tight but the commodities
bunds "outperforming" is something which happened today while
nothing is happening; the checks are in the mail; the entire global population uses paper fiat currencies which are fungible for anything
and the checks are in the mail
as i've been reporting in real time, TPTB just ran a staaahbeeeelietaaaay test on the entire global stsyem and it did just fine
coming into the goldilocksCrisisTM summit, slewie warned specifically AGAINST running the banks, b/c the fascist were ready if you did
well, run the banks now; TPTB hafta deal w/ angela's ambiguous play, sports fans, and they are totally booked for the rest of the year. hello?
as your uncertified yet totally-certifiable global financial advisory pi-rat, don't tryy for returns here; no counterparty anywhere in the EU can actually be counted on to deliver on any promise except: give us yer money and we guarantee to give almost all of it back
put the money into PMs or a mattress or a locker at the health club
when they try to scramble and declare only electronic money legal tender, just say no
altho 80% of us BiCheZ have been totally conditioned to trust these asswipes with the "transfer" for every overpiced cup of coffee and salad we now buy, please follow the 20% who understand rather than the 1% who deceive
if people are dumb enuf to try to send every egg and tomatoe thru central planning, i hope the non-central-power tripping types know where to aim that barrage of eggs and tomatoes
it will never get any easier than this
let's run with the wonderHorse fungicide here, ok, BiCheZ?
THE END
I'm with the pi-rat here. Make em walk the plank!
Nein Zuppe, Ja EURO QE Die Bitchez
Good day to kick the banksters out of the country and arrest the English banksters for treason. In 1776 we shot them on their way out.
Fuck Queeny and her mutant sons.
you ready to shoot all of WS/FED and half of Senate who don't want to know about it?
let's start with the Pigs first!

Next time have them dress like a pimp!
Good thing they tried that shit in San Jose...drive 15 exits north and try mouthing off like that. Once.
I'll take a dozen impetiouses and a quietish day.

Germany needs to get out of the EU within the next year or so. The time is rapidly approaching where they will no longer be able to benefit from their export driven industries within the EU.
Too bad (/sarc) the plan to contain Germany only lasted about 60 years or so.
Seems like every other big "nation" (that's putting it politely) in europe is content with shooting themselves in both feet.
At least there is a somewhat positive spin on this:
VWs/BMWs/Mercedes are excellent cars!
With American cars offered at horrible price points and mediocre safety/features, it's kind of hard not to go GERMAN these days.
Too bad the Chinese government workers have to give up their Audis in auctions! (Poor saps never saw the bubble coming)
So the ECB cuts rates tomorrow and the Euro falls against theUSD hence Gold goes down in dollars and up in Euro?
Hard to say...but you should be thankful every time gold falls during this global banking crime spree because some geeked up leverage junky has to sell his gold, or some twit HFT program decides he can game the only real currency left...as it provides those with any real sense the opportunity to pick it up on sale.
ECB does nothing.
i mentioned a solution, germany leaving euro so to let euro depreciate for the latin/med countries, a while back. but germany loves a weak euro. if they go DM again, they may find themselves uncompetitive sudden slow of economy...or bunds in euros go like swiss, negative, and germany debt on a DM basis goes down dramtically, creating a very interesting dynamic with a new, low debt load country/currency.
The currency race to the bottom will be followed by the currency race to the top.
That being said, I wouldn't be surprised if there is a re-introduction of a gold standard amongst countries like Germany, Russia etc.
Something tells me that the Germans get a little giddy thinking of a possible DM reserve currency.
Okay...3 hours of Bob Dimond redirecting questions and explaining his "context"...and I only have one question. Is Europe open tomorrow?
Thanks.
mebbe
possibly even for withdrawals; apparently, some people still have their assets in various "accounts"
imo, the new chevyChase europeonBankstering is about to open on ATM screens everywhere
the entire cellular comsat system will fry with everyone tryng to call his/her money to see when they can maybe get together, again...
what happened to the RBS story? must be fine, now, huh?
L0L!!! keep sparklering c_dad!
Neither safe nor sane.
...and then there's more unrest/growing pains in China:

The stock market keeps getting stronger across the world.
SPY priced in Euros and Swiss Francs has broken out to new 4-year highs:

What's that? You say the Zooro is down? Again? So soon?
Lulz-a-poppin'
You forgot to mention the SPY in Zim Dollars technicals.
O, RLY?

Time to load up on what goes up when the market goes down.
FAZ calls - delta is too low
VXX calls are out - delta is negative relative to expected direction too frequently this week
RSU puts - I'm seeing so little open-interest I think I saw a tumble-weed
RSW (calls) - barely any better
FAS puts: also too low but in the right direction, until about 90+ in the strike price
I'd say load up on physical gold and GLD calls with more than 70 days and unload as soon as there's a 10% or more profit net of all fees, don't even worry about using margin.
Writing a GLD call with only 9 days left should be safe out of the money.
MS morgan stanley puts > 60 days ought to return nicely, just take the 10% or 20% profit when it shows up and never look back. Theta is unusually small and delta > 0.7 - take the money and run.
Hard to believe the S & P 500 is high as it is with interest rates in the tank and no inflation.
Zero selling in bonds, despite the screeching and wailing of guys like Jim Rogers who say "This Can't Go On!!"
Paper rules. No selling pressure in any of the bond ETF's last week:

All "buns up" and ready for that "hot money".
You go girl.
Highest reading in the McClellan Oscillator in the last 52-weeks, and the NYSE Summation Index is going straight up.
Huge breadth surge on the tape the last few days:

How "trendy"...your TA faerie wand needs a charge.
where is Van Rampuy when you need him...
I propose he recites a haiku everytime EUR/USD closes in the green...
And so the party winds down, a bunch of Hobo's called the GIIPS are eyeing the fat frau in the corner hoping get some action or at least another drink. The french dude is looking at the IOUs he signed with the people and mouthing the word "Merde" but his dear friends the unelected Euro trash are ready to get angry as they fear for their pensions and pay ---- ITS PARTY TIME!----
"The European single currency is bound to fail, economically, politically and indeed socially, though the timing, occasion and full consequences are all necessarily still unclear." -- Margaret Thatcher
Bund-Greek/Irish/Spanish spreads keep getting wider. It's been over a week now, so it's safe to say that the invisible market queen doesn't want EURUSD to appreciate.
Facebook Corporate Propaganda Machine. Communism is the answer.
Euro is down because American traders were stranded at beach on independence day . Buyers on holiday.
Here's hoping that beach was Omaha.
