COMMODITY/GROWTH EXPECTATION (HEADLINES FROM BLOOMBERG)

OIL – now some good news – Brent Oil has now snapped my long-term TAIL line of $113.87 support and is moving into a Bearish Formation. With the US Dollar up for 5 consecutive days, we’re seeing exactly what we should – Deflating The Inflation (this will be the new perma-bull chant) = good for Consumers, globally, on the margin.

EUROPEAN MARKETS


ITALY – total gong show across European Equities again this morning as hedge funds who covered on the “news” yesterday gave Italian and French stocks a no-volume bounce to lower-highs. We shorted Italy on that yesterday as the MIB remains in a Bearish Formation (see our intraday note), down -18% since March #GrowthSlowing.

ASIAN MARKETS


INDIA – so they tried the Keynesian thing and now the Rupee is in free-fall; deficit also climbing as they import inflation; India down -0.9% overnight (down -9% from its Feb 2012 top) looks very different than China right now. We like China long (+11.3% YTD) as Deflating The Inflation (Commodities) helps countries with strengthening FX more.
