Keith’s Three Morning Bullets

So far, no good = 58/500 S&P names have reported = Revs -2.7%, EPS -7.9% - bull market, in storytelling (and Long-Term Bonds):

  1. USD – down for the 3rd straight week (post that terrible US jobs report) gave the SPX short squeeze what it needed (up, on decelerating volume, to lower-highs) but USD appears to be stabilizing this morning = Oil (-1.1%), Gold (-0.4%), and the “reflation” trade no likey
  2. NIKKEI – Japanese stocks no likey Down Dollar = Up Yen either; after closing -0.8% last week, Japan didn’t believe the China “news” and sold off -0.9% into the close, taking Nikkei -12% in the last 3 months (with USD -3.2% in the last 3 months)
  3. CHINA – look on the bright side of their storytelling, they didn’t stick a 7.0 this time and made-up “6.9%” GDP instead. Lol. Even the locals (who are paid to think a certain way) didn’t buy Chinese stocks on that – Shanghai Comp closes -0.14%

SPX immediate-term risk range = 1; UST 10yr 1.98-2.07%
