There is really only one clip for this week - so full of chest-beating "I told you so"-ism early on, only to have hope crushed by an old granny's confusion - it's an oldie but a goodie...
What did Janet Do?!!

- China Equities - down 4 of last 5 weeks, lowest close since Feb 2015
- German Equities worst day in a month
- 30Y Yield -15bps - biggest 2-day drop since Jan 6th 2015
- 2Y Yield -13.7bps - biggest 2-day drop since March 2009
