Keith’s Three Morning Bullets

Bets continue to mount on a Dovish Fed meeting…

  1. USD – US Dollar Index closed on its low for the wk (-1.1% on the wk) and is seeing follow through selling this morning vs. both Euros and Yens – what’s most interesting about this to me is that on 30-day correlation, SPX has a POSITIVE correlation to USD of +0.8 (meaning a Dovish Fed could be bad for stocks)
  2. JAPAN – Down Dollar is definitely bad for Japanese Stocks – that INVERSE correlation has not changed; Yen +0.3% took another -1.6% out of the Nikkei overnight – it’s -12.5% in the last month with the US Dollar -2.7% (and Yen +3.8%)
  3. UST 2yr – yield tested a “breakout” above 0.75% for the 6th time in 6 months last wk… and failed; back down to 0.71% on Dovish Fed spec this morning and, with Fed Fund Futures this low, I still think the Fed could train wreck macro markets if they tighten

SPX immediate-term risk range = 1; UST 10yr Yield 2.13-2.24%
