Silver Spike Does Not Deter Zombie Market As Apple Touches The Sign Of The Beast
UPDATE: AAPL cracked the demonic $666 level after-hours
For a moment this morning some were even thinking this would be the day, this could be the one where volumes come back, ranges expand, and some level of risk sensitivity returns; but alas, despite all the AAPL pumping and Silver surging, Equities ended the day unch on weak volumes (actually cash equities ended very small down for the 16th of the last 17 Monday red closes). The S&P 500 e-mini future (ES) intraday range was a remarkably low 8.5pts, volume at its new post-Knight normal (half-normal), average trade-size lower than average, and risk-assets in general were highly correlated during the day-session as Treasuries also closed unchanged, USD down very modestly and Oil unch. Financials and Tech & Healthcare and Utilities were the only sectors in the green on the day (in an awkward risk on and off way). Copper dumped as Silver surged 2.6% on the day to two-month highs. AAPL also surged 2.6% (up 7% in the last 6 days - a level that has repeatedly been followed by pullbacks this year) as everyone's new favorite IPO (MANU) lost 2.6% (even as FB gained almost 5% closing just below $20). VIX gained 0.6 vols ending above 14% (but drifted lower from the open). While the markets main seem zombie-like, there were some intraday moves in FX and Treasury markets - but these were dominant during Europe's open and faded into the US day-session.
AAPL surged 2.6%, +7% in the last 6 days and on very heavy volume...
and the AAPL effect... +5.4% in 3 days provides a 90-100bps outperformance (over 3 days!!) of NASDAPPL over the Dow/S&P/Transports index...
S&P 500 futures saw significant early volumes as they pressed against VWAP but then crept higher into the close (after Europe's close) on lower and lower volumes...
The pattern was similar for most risk assets today - with an early volatility episode during Europe's early trading that recovered and stabilized on vapors in the US session...FX markets...
but Treasury and FX carry swings drove early European 'strength' in our markets only to give it back once the ECB denied... as is clear below - during the US day-session, risk assets (ES and CONTEXT) were highly systemically correlated...
and Silver stood alone among commdoties in its spikey surginess today...
Credit indices outperformed - catching up to equity's ebulience - but desk chatter is mostly on re-racking moves (i.e. runs quoted on back of market moves) as opposed to trades with volumes dire. HYG remains an underperformer - though managed a small green close today against equity's red...
Charts: Bloomberg and Capital Context
Bonus Chart: AAPL/Silver ratio - it intrigued us that AAPL and Silver were both outliers today and both rose almost exactly 2.6% or so from Friday's close... so presented for your viewing pleasure the channel-breakout of the AAPL/Silver ratio (that occurred immediatley after the end of LTRO2)...

Uh, I guess it's time to roll the dice and buy some OTM AAPL puts, hopefully this time it will finally work out.
And that just happens to be immediately after Lord Rothschild shorted the euro. Interesting times, indeed.
Rothschild's short in notional terms (just over $200MM) is peanuts in modern market terms.
why did silver surge?
it should be well over $50 if JPM shorts failed to clamp it down. maybe JPM Apple shorts lined up with our ASR (apple silver ratio) though that's massive stretch of correlation.
my best guess is the wagon was leaving the mine and a few decided to get on board...
could consolidation be coming to an end prompted by TPTB, main the da printer to be?, patience and still way better than .07/mo of checking balance of 2,000.
flip a coin at the edge of a blackhole.
the blackhole; hmmm, something doesn't sound right about that.
Seriously, it would be nice to know what really did move it.
respectfully
from kitco
technical in nature, but still doesn't answer why the fuck everybody and his brother decided today.
September silver futures closed up $0.588 an ounce at $28.595 Monday. Prices closed near the session high, hit a fresh two-month high and scored a bullish “outside day” up on the daily bar chart. Monday’s price action could be the beginning of a bullish upside breakout from a sideways and choppy trading range on the daily bar chart. Silver bulls and bears are now back on a level near-term technical playing field, but bulls do have fresh upside momentum. Bulls’ next upside price breakout objective is closing prices above solid technical resistance at the June high of $29.915 an ounce. The next downside price breakout objective for the bears is closing prices below solid technical support at the August low of $26.88. First resistance is seen at Monday’s high of $28.645 and then at $29.00. Next support is seen at $28.445 and then at $28.335. Wyckoff's Market Rating: 5.0.
all gibberish. silver should be well into the $50s. And gold past $2k. bulls bears short long upside blah bleh rating scmating it's all fucked. adjust to fed printing and flow and GSR and commodities and FUNDAFUCKINGMENTALS and PE and no movement below $50 should exist. but we are dead and we are alive and nothing aligns.
Forget notional terms. It's the ruler of the world pretty much saying the Euro is done.
Yeah but they are triple reverse delta hedged long, so who who knows their other positions on the Euro
Not implying it was a market moving bet, just that - I guess we'll see - the timing may well be impeccable.
Edit: I should have clarified - I was speaking strictly in terms of the eur/usd pair & AAPL reaching 666...wasn't referencing the price of silver...
LONG CHF; SHORT EUR
TILL 1.10-1.00
There is no story there.He probably has $200 million laying around in petty cash. He is just messing with Alex Jones.
Similar to Romney's "I'll bet ya $10,000......"
Don't HFT's do over 70% of market trading now?
That means organic investor trading is essentially completely dead.
Silver has all night to catch up with Apple:

:-)
...besides RTN, the 666 Apple mark has been a market indicator for when the Iran event(s) should begin. The Golden Monkey BTFID Cup of Fornication Dollar Spike being the confirmation. Lol. Is it hot in here or should I just put on my shorts? LMAO
now, now, lets get ahold of ourselves - 666 is a number, no more, no less...
Satan loves fruits
...just a number?

Silver bitchez!
PhiKrappaGata: 'Silver Circle' animated movie compiles evidence of silver market manipulation
I had nothing to do with the film. I would have made music for it if they had asked though.
why did silver surge?
Eric Sprott probably bought half of the Comex stock, about 1200 ozt.
Ummmm, I dunno......Insider front running?
lQQk up^ v_d! fuu has the answer!
that's abt as rational as silver gets
the answer to the pricing would be found in the crimex action where is would draw yer attn to the spiking in PLAT since last thursday Platinum (Globex) Intraday Commodity Futures Price Chart: Oct. 2012
there may have been auto news that if ya can 50 miles on $4 worth of gas, why fuk around with batteries? which is about where electric cars ended last century, too... L0L!!!
or just the riskOn is good for PLAT b/c (as the "story" goes) it is an "industrial metal" (besides, they can do those ratio spreads, and w/ the options, too!crimex banksters & the consumer)
and (as the story continues...) so is silver...
ergo, this is b/c everything is gonna freaking BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! KA-BOOM!!!
at least that is "rational", huh?

Interesting that MANUre went down after avowed Labourite SAF got his payoff in the form of RvP.
And are losing 1-0 to Everton.
They should dispense with all pretenses and create an own APPL volatility index.
Just 1% of AAPL market cap of 623 billion would buy over 200 million ounces which would send silver over 50 bucks in one day. Got physical?

we needed that!
You are still holding PM? I thought you took your physicals and went down to Cash4Gold place last Friday? The one near my house is open on weekends. It used to be Cash4YourHouse just couple of years ago.
Did you at least closed out your shorts?
Werewolves are lovin' this.
best post of the day!
The gold-silver-ratio is starting to approach 55 and it just crossed the weekly 50-day MA. RSI and MACD look bearish. Seems like a similar setup to fall 2010. Whenever more easing will be announced/realized by the market, and gold starts climbing again, silver should once more provide huge leverage as inflation expectations is so important at the moment for the "industrial" metal.

APPL better buy than gold...
I myself own hundreds of ounces of physical silver but this all seems to be another Bull trap. They sucker everyone in and when the market takes a shit there won't be anyone left to defend $26.50....wait for it people.
I'm too stupid to time this. My buying is steady and relentless.
I buy, therefore I AM.
I'm kind of with you on this. Except once everybody expects it to dump, that is when it will keep going.
Apple Inc. Products built by robots. Stock bought by robots!
Brilliant isn't it? Well at least until someone wants to cash out a few hundred thousand to buy a real apple to eat.
I don't mean to info-bully your good line, but there was a great article about robots in the NYT this weekend. They compare the old school Apple/FoxConn approach with 1000s of low level human assemlers to Philips new robot factories in Holland.

Silver goes up meer 2.65% and you are all exited. Have you no self respect? You are all happy 'cause they through some crumbs at you.
Enjoy, it'll be right back down to 28.5
Pssst, 2.65% on $182,476.32 is just over $4,300. Decent day's work in my opinion, just saying...
A decent day indeed. Congrats. What's YTD on your ~400 LB stash?

...PLEASE...???
Only if you sell it all today.
From the headline story on Drudge-
"By coincidence, the peak price for one Apple share is now less than $2 away from the retail price of the Apple I computer in 1976. It sold for $666.66."
that is a little creepy
Bite out of the fruit logo, now this...
AHHHHHhhhhhhhh! I knew them infernal calculating machines was eeeevil!
And silver and gold should be about $75 and $2250. Trillions have been created and they're out there just waiting to wash over us like a fiat tsunami.
when AAPL hits $700 will Reggie M. slash his wrists..???
frightening.
