Huge Short-Squeeze Sparks New Record Stock Highs As FX Vol Crashes To Record Low
Another day, another short-squeeze, and another record high…
This four-day squeeze is now of the size that has historically led to a reversal…
US equity markets were higher mainly thanks to the opening jolt (and of course the late-day meltup)…
Panic-bid at the close?
Why were stocks up? Because “that is the law”…
Nasdaq is now up 4% on the year…
but that is less than 2019 and 2018 (and the same as 2017) for this far into the year…
The S&P 500 Index is trading at the highest level over its 200-day moving average since late January 2018.
As Bloomberg reports, amid a solid monthly U.S. retail-sales report and diminished geopolitical risks, the benchmark has been looking heated from a technical standpoint, begging the question on how long the rally can last.
Cyclicals outperformed today but Defensives dominate the week…
Mixed day for banks with GS now best on the week and WFC still the laggard…
TSLA dared to have another down day, but we note that once again it was panic-bid at the cash open after weakness overnight…
Chinese markets were mixed with small-cap tech soaring as the big caps slipped…
European stocks were also mixed with Spain and Italy outperforming today and the rest unch…
VIX crashed to an 11 handle intraday and while credit protection costs slipped, they remain notably decoupled from equity risk…
Treasury yields were higher by around 2bps across the curve today…
The Dollar edged higher today, rebounding off the 50% Fib retracement of the year-end plunge…
JPMorgan’s gauge of global currency volatility hit an all-time low today…
Cryptos were lower today but holding on to the week’s impressive gains…
Bitcoin is holding around $8700 – well above the pre-Soleimani levels…best start to a year since 2012
Commodities were mixed today with copper down as crude rallied and PMs relatively flat…
Gold futures stalled at pre-Soleimeni levels again…
WTI bounced off $57 handle once again…
Finally, while today’s data was solid, the decoupling between stocks and macro fundamentals makes a mockery of markets (can you guess what’s really driving stocks higher?)
And, if everything’s so awesome with the trade deal (all those Ag buys), why did all the softs collapse today?
Is the deal real or fake?

Brood of Vipers - Stock Option Expiration Tomorrow
CQs
“Although I say that wisdom is better than strength, nevertheless the common wisdom is despised, and its words are not heard. A wise man speaking quietly is worth more than the shouts of a tyrant commanding fools. Wisdom is better than weapons of war, but one sinful man can destroy much that is good."
Ecclesiastes 9:16-18
"The barbarian hopes — and that is the mark of him, that he can have his cake and eat it too. He will consume what civilization has slowly produced after generations of selection and effort, but he will not be at pains to replace such goods, nor indeed has he a comprehension of the virtue that has brought them into being.
We sit by and watch the barbarian. We tolerate him in the long stretches of peace, we are not afraid. We are tickled by his irreverence; his comic inversion of our old certitudes; we laugh. But as we laugh we are watched by large and awful faces from beyond, and on these faces there are no smiles.”
Hilaire Belloc
"‘Woe to you, you hypocrites! You are like whitewashed tombs, which look beautiful on the outside, but on the inside are full of the bones of the dead and everything unclean. On the outside you appear righteous, but on the inside you are full of hypocrisy and wickedness. You snakes, you brood of vipers.'"
Matt 23: 23-33
The truth can sometimes hurt. It is not always to see what we have become. But the truth will set us free.
Stocks rose to a new high today.
Gold and silver finished slightly lower, with the Dollar slightly higher.
The impeachment 'trial' of Trumpollini is now proceeding in the Senate.
Politicians are for the most part not admirable at their best. But courage and integrity are scarce commoditities in this current crop of Senators and executives.
The GAO released its report today, finding that Trump and his administration broke the law.
I still believe that we will see a major change in the US political and economic scene by July.
Tomorrow is a stock market options expiration.
There will be a three day weekend for the US markets because of Martin Luther King observance on Monday.
Have a pleasant evening.
