We have yet more soothing sounds from Central banks and asset markets appear to be preparing for the usual Christmas rally. In spite of the remaining technical issues cash is a dangerous asset in this world of understated inflation and persistently attentive central banks. It was right to go long on the lows of a...

Some good reports this week with much discussion on the macro significance of the data and instrument movements. Breakouts by rates and US$ index, breakdown defensive utilities. Fitzpatrick commenting that the inflation benign tailwinds from lower oil prices is likely behind us setting up for a cyclical rally attempt vs defensive issues. As always monetary...

I’m traveling again so apologies for the delaying in issuing. This has been a nose bleeding retrace for dm equity markets. S&P close to making her prior highs. Nas100 new highs. From an allocation perspective, whatever the allocation be whether currencies, pms, bonds or commodities confusion reigns here. Usually confusion preempts a trend change, in...

The ECB and then the BOC certainly helped equity markets over come some key resistances. The Euro was dumped propelling European equities into breakouts of their recent down trends. Participants were forced to short cover and any late to the bear camp have been “rolled over”. Its worth noting that overall putcall ratios are nearly...

We have a very divided set of views this week from the various technical teams. Searching for consensus among the teams is that this recent bullish reversal will likely run out of steam very soon so certainly chasing or evening covering shorts at this precise point in the market appears a dumb thing to me....

The Swiss team are traveling so no comment from the guys and not much need for a comment and no levels and price action particularly demands comment for now. Near term it looks like a bounce is in progress off some key supports for several equity markets lead by asia over night. This is the...

Guys, Big news day tomorrow that, in my opinion, defines if the bear rejoins in the next few days or he is put off for a few weeks to come. Its a timing and levels issue this not a trend issue, if you follow. More comments tomorrow but I like the short Nikkie long jpy...

Another great report from the Swiss team here below. Its very tricky to plot the anatomy of the forthcoming ending of the bull market and the various twists and turns of a hard correction. Nonetheless it seems the team are doing a good job of doing just that. Volatility is continuing with the Nikkie moving...

The highlights for me from last week’s bear attach was the short sharp explosion in volatility together with a short term liquidity drain from the market. The most notable other issue was the euro carry trade de-lever which spiked up the euro even as markets fell. Commodities generally fell as US$ also fell. To me...

Volatility rising and widening across asset classes internationally now. Its all part of the normal historic trend of rising volatility pre a trend change, imo. I wouldn’t go aggressively short yet but it was correct to move to a high cash level as of a month or so ago. Here a few updates: Firstly GS:...
