Consensus Is Crowding Into a Precarious Position | $SPY - S P 500 cartoon 06.08.2016

Below is analysis from our Macro team in a note sent to subscribers earlier this morning:

 

"As we highlighted on The Macro Show yesterday, the CFTC net futures and options positioning in the S&P was already long 58K contracts moving into this week, or +1.68x on a TTM z-score basis (and that’s positioning through last Tuesday). With the low volume melt-up moves from Fri-Tues (S&P +2.6%) , expect an even longer consensus position at the end of this week.

 

Go ahead and buy all time-highs on peak cycle forward multiples (and that’s assuming the consensus expectation for a major corporate profit turnaround) in a crowded long position, but we’re going to sit it out."
