CREDIT/ECONOMIC MARKET LOOK:

  • YIELD CURVE: 1.42 from 1.42
  • VIX closed at 15.57 1 day percent change of -2.99%
  • TREASURIES – finally bonds sold off yesterday (primarily because they were immediate-term TRADE overbought); 1.68% is an important line of resistance for the 10yr yield (inasmuch as 1.58% was support), so we’ll see where risk moves vs that today – risk ranges remain very tight and trade-able in stocks and bonds.

EUROPEAN MARKETS


GERMANY – power forward move by the Germans continues, well above the SEP closing highs (7451) to 7611, pulverizing the Dow at +30% YTD. German stocks are up +9.5% since mid November! Someone was either short Europe in size (we have no European short positions currently) or they’re just jamming this thing into yr end. Higher-highs are bullish, regardless.

ASIAN MARKETS


JAPAN – before you get too excited about the no volume breakouts, remember that stock markets aren’t economies right now; Japan is a disaster (down -3.5% SAAR GDP and -6.5% y/y Export declines), but the Bernanke move of devaluing the Yen (new lows today) is something the machines have been trained to love via long stocks, for a trade – ends really badly, but no one cares.
