Creditcane™: Bam! Spliff! Pow! Holy cow BB-man!



SPX
Bearish long day. Confirmed bullish thrusting. Midpoint below EMA(10). Still below the trendline (3/6/09-7/1//10). Held 1041.83 (.1459 fibo from high). New low on daily 3LB (reversal is 1071.69). QE2infinity.

GOLD
Bearish thrusting day. Still above all SMA's. Midpoint above EMA(10). Still holding onto gains (heading towards the 0%). No daily 3LB changes (reversal is 1227.00).

The Bond Report 8.26.10

A risk-off day in credit, as investors front ran and followed the 11am POMO and so the 10y and 30y Treasuries were predictably well bid. Corporate spreads were wider especially in shorter duration. Even TIPS had a strong day "on deflation". Makes sense, right?*

Corpies: LQD 0.09%; AGG 0.13%; JNK -0.52%; HYG -0.14%;
Govies: TLT 0.94%; IEI 0.16%; TIP 0.54%
Hedgies: TBT -1.98%

We added a bit of HY. Not involved in Treasuries here, except that we have a little bit of the 5y left. As a bond investor, I am finding the recent love affair of TV talking heads with fixed income in general, and the Treasury market especially, to be most welcome*. Sentiment seems abnormally bullish for a market that most people usually ignore....

All of the talking heads on the MSM are spouting the GDP revision should be 50% or more of the 2.4% estimate. That must mean J6P was bullish and not short enough. Can't have J6P making enough to get comfortable and exiting the market. I wouldn't put it past them to revise it higher. The elections are coming. I need to stop drinking...

He says some amazing stuff here..

Lastly, an OH MY.. for Ben: PIMCO

El-Erian: The bond market is suggesting an outlook for low growth and for disinflation; I think that’s what we’re going to see for a while.

Hello, missed you all today but have new wheels :)

Amen-Ra do we need to include the Hiroshima-Omen (can't remember the name sorry) in the wrap?
My gut for tomorrow says its a non-event and the lows hold ... but I am often wrong

Nic

Your wish has been granted.

karen said...

Interesting about AAPL, AR.. we need to follow that one! thank you! k

Karen

What's bugging me about AAPL is that the daily and weekly 3LB have the same reversal price. So it's able to meander along and that makes it harder for traders to decide what to do.
