Overnight volume was 2x usual, a large drop from the last several days where it was running 3x. Range was smaller also. Could be the big funds are completing their repositioning and we will soon be back to just us day and swing traders playing with the algos.

Not going anywhere. Been in this range since London/Frankfurt opened. Plenty of targets higher and lower to move this to, but so far no deep pocket operators to push it. Could be a long boring day if you are an adrenaline junky.
According to BofA’s February Fund Manager Survey (163 participants with $510BN in AUM),
Fund managers have taken out protection against a sharp fall in equity markets in the next 3 months, and are rotating into cash and out of equities.
Average cash balances rise to 4.7% this month, up from 4.4% in January (avg = 4.5% past 10 years).
Allocation to equities fell to net 43% from net 55% overweight, the largest one-month decline in two years;
allocation to bonds now at a record low of net 69% underweight.
80% expect rates to rise.
60% say Inflation & bonds most likely catalyst for cross-asset crash.
91% say recession "unlikely"
Best contrarian trade: long Utilities, short Banks

last night:
"Due To Market Volatility", Tradestation Requires Full Margin On All Overnight Futures Trading
100% margin required on ES, TF, YM, NQ, RTY
Old initial margin was 25%; quite a bump.
If other firms follow suit, this may put a damper on overnight crazy shit

so the greatest pain occurs with a lower than expected cpi
if within range of expectations, record shorts in 10yr futures will likely cover a bit, seems slightly bullish for equities tomorrow
