CLIENT TALKING POINTS
Japan
Minor correction in Japanese Equities to take advantage of (Nikkei -0.5%) on the standard Dollar Down, Yen Up move; JGB 10yr Yield sells off to +0.06% after toying with a “breakout” above +0.10%.
Italy
Awesome month for US Growth (Equity) bulls; terrible month for Italian ones – MIB Index down another -0.4% this morning and -4.1% in the last month, flashing a major negative divergence vs. Eurostoxx50, DAX, etc.
UST 10 YR
Dollar Down, Rates Down morning registers an immediate-term overbought signal in Gold at $1256 and a big short-selling opportunity in most things Low-Beta-Safe-Yield (which I do not like and want to be short, on balance).
