COMMODITY/GROWTH EXPECTATION (HEADLINES FROM BLOOMBERG)

OIL – bearish is as bearish does; our TAIL risk line for Brent remains just inside of $113 and continues to pressure that popping sound of commodity bubbles; fully loaded, rumors not getting EUR/USD anywhere close to its TAIL risk line of $1.31; from here, Dollar up can easily take commodities lower – we’ll see if Romney can land a punch tonight for USD.

EUROPEAN MARKETS


SPAIN – so they lied about their GDP numbers for a few yrs and just dropped one of the biggest Service PMI bombs of 2012 (40 in SEP vs 44 in AUG); what’s another 100-300B for dysfunctional banks, amongst political friends? What’s amazing to me is how bad a lot of this global growth data is (France Service PMI 45 vs 49), despite the market’s rally to the September no-volume highs.
