There is this rumor: that the ECB will start printing money and with it buy all the worthless radioactive guano, now in the possession of European private banks…If true, the equities market would soar…
This is only a rumor… but I’ll be careful with keeping too many shorts…

Yesterday's reversal happened on one of the highest volume days. I wouldn't ignore that fact. I would tread very lightly here as if there are too many shorts entering here we're going all the way to 1180. All I can say is I'm not using more than 25-30% of my capital for short or long positions.

Yes, I can see the bullish case. There are some stops being hit all the way up here. But at what point does the short/stop squeeze end? I'm not convinced that this rally is going anywhere beyond 1180. Full disclosure: trapped bear!

"The belly of the curve sold off 20 bps…..HUGE move….haven’t seenthat kind of a selloff since 08…..part of this is a glut of new supply coming to the market, but it’s also…..
Risk ON."
think we have another end of day run up...doesn't take much to get people to buy this market.
what is "belly" of yield curve.... is it 10s ... 10 yr maturities?
Between 5-10 year parts of the curve.
Prior to today, the long end had been rallying a scotch, basically flattening the curve (operation twist) but today the selloff was all across the curve from 2013 on out, but really concentrated in the 5-10 year space. Little bit of a reversal today. All in, the word is that brokerdealers sellingoff balances, and syndicates are selling down right now….long long end didn’t sell off quite as much bc there’s marginally more support and more yield hogs and the short end has been strong since forever I guess……
Just to put this in perspective, usually the curve moves 1-2 bps a day, 3-4 is a BIG move. 20….welll sheeeeeeshh………
Muni curve is really viewed traditionally as lagging treasuries historically, but the last 3 times we’ve had big moves, the muni curve was a “leading” indicator……..
All in all, nothing exciting. Long live munis.
That is some GOOD dirt, jar
right from the horses/squids mouth

And I want u to get better soon, but if u need to take a few days off, we will all be here when u return
Sincerely yours,

Agree. There ought to be a bunch of resistance at 1180 +/- 10 by the end of the week. Hard to see it getting past that without some kind of test of yesterday's low.
