COMMODITY/GROWTH EXPECTATION (HEADLINES FROM BLOOMBERG)

OIL – Both Brent and WTIC have re-captured their respective long-term TAIL risk lines of $92.04 and $111.48 support. There’s as important a difference b/t global growth slowing and stabilizing as there is stabilizing and accelerating – and it’s real tough to see consumption accelerate if food/oil prices reflate (from here); something to noodle over w/ Energy (XLE) +6.7% YTD.

CURRENCIES

THE HEDGEYE DAILY OUTLOOK - 6

EUROPEAN MARKETS


RUSSIA - +0.8% leads European majors this morning and is more of the same on the reflation point. Treasury Bond Yields don’t like Oil ripping either, down a few bps d/d to 1.84%. Always interesting to study macro moves on the margin.

ASIAN MARKETS


KOSPI – a leading indicator in our model works both ways and its interesting that the KOSPI (down -0.81% last night) just broke my immediate-term TRADE line (1985) out of nowhere (despite “Tech” news being solid after the US close). Nikkei punishing the Johnny come lately consensus crowd who came into the short Yen/long Nikkei trade late, down -2.1% through 10,733 TRADE support.
