We suspect this will help...
Bu, for human oil shorts this afternoon, we suspect this sums up their message to the manipulators and their machines...
We have to start with WTI because that was a fucking joke!!!! This 8.3% ramp into the NYMEX close was the biggest single-day ramp since June 2010... (in case you wonder what happened... read this complaint) [9]
[10]
Which magicaly levitated stocks... to the NYMEX close...
[11]
Now where have we seen that before?
[12]
Crude down for the 8th month in a row... for only the 2nd time in history
[13]
* * *
Anyway... take a breath because it was quite a month/week/day...
Today's market was domianted by fading yesterday's Yellen pump bounce and the momo ignition from crude which was faded...NOT OFF THE LOWS
[14]
On the week, Trannies are the laggard... NOT OFF THE LOWS
[15]
On the month, stocks are ugly...
[16]
With financials monkey-hammered...
[17]
Who could have seen that coming?
[18]
Since QE3, only NASDAQ is green (thanks to AAPL)
[19]
The S&P 500 dropped back below its 100DMA after Yellen's intervention - that is a problem... And The S&P 500 Lost 2000 at the close
[20]
Obviously oil stands out on the week (thanks to today's idiocy) but gold recovered to unch while silver was slammed...
[21]
Energy stocks spiked (again) - credit didn't!! Trade Accordingly!
[22]
The US Dollar dropped modestly this week (down 0.5%) despite a huge drop in Swissy)
[23]
Treasury yields plunged on the week (new 30Y record lows)
[24]
Of course stocks just kept on buying and disbelieving bonds...
[25]
And on the month, 3Y is -20bps and the entire rest of the curve is down around 50bps!!
[26]
Bonds best month since June 2010...
[27]
Credit continues to flash red - just like it did in 2008...
