USD/CAD 2018 Rebound Starts To Unravel Following Mixed NFP Report
USD/CAD INITIATES BEARISH SERIES FOLLOWING MIXED U.S. & CANADA DATA USD/CAD slips to fresh weekly lows amid the mixed set of data prints coming out of the U.S. and Canadian economy, and recent price action raises the risk for a further decline in the dollar-loonie exchange rate as it carves a fresh series of lower […]
EC Global Asset Allocation Update: Tariffs Don’t Warrant A Change…Yet
There is no change to the risk budget this month. For the moderate risk investor the allocation to bonds is 50%, risk assets 45% and cash 5%. We have had continued volatility since the last update but the market action so far is pretty mundane. The initial selloff halted at the 200 day moving average […]
The Return Of The Euro Crisis
Written by insidesources Anyone who thought that the Eurozone debt crisis was resolved has not been paying attention to economic and political developments in Italy, the Eurozone’s third-largest member country. They have certainly not been focusing on how very vulnerable the Italian economy remains to a less favorable international economic environment and to more challenging global […]
The Everything Bubble – Waiting For The Pin
Yesterday we noted that financial markets have become completely uncoupled from reality and that the recent feeble bounces between the 20-day and 50-day chart points were essentially the rigor mortis of a dead bull. As it happened, we were able to share those sentiments with what remains of CNBC’s audience of carbon-based units: Video Length: 00:08:43 As we […]
Margin Debt And The Market – Friday, March 9
Note: The NYSE has suspended their NYSE Member Firm margin data as of December 2017. We have replaced our Margin Debt data with FINRA data, which includes data for all firms, not just NYSE member firms. The New York Stock Exchange previously published end-of-month data for margin debt on the NYX data website, including historical data going […]
Good Job Numbers Are Pushing Everything Higher
Chris Temple joins me today to recap the positive jobs number and the impact it is having by moving stocks, yields and commodities higher. This is a situation where good news is taken as a reason to buy while also not changing investors minds about future central bank policy. We also got some more clarity, […]
Judge Rules Virtual Currencies Are Commodities: Correct Ruling?
Bitcoins are now considered commodities. Some disagree. Please consider Federal Judge Rules Virtual Currencies Are Commodities Under the Commodity Exchange Act. On March 6, 2018, Judge Jack B. Weinstein of the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York ruled that virtual currencies are commodities under the Commodity Exchange Act (CEA) and therefore […]
FX Markets Turn To US CPI & Retail Sales, Kiwi GDP, SNB Rate Decision
Talking Points: The US Dollar slipped after the February NFP report, drawing into question how intense inflation pressures actually are; the February CPI report will shine light onto this topic on Tuesday. Now that the Bank of Japan has signaled a potential timeline to end its extraordinary easing measures, will the Swiss National Bank take […]
VIX “Elephant” Breaks The Vol Market
Heading into this morning’s payrolls data, a few traders noted the sudden plunge in liquidity (which is normal) but chaotic noise in equity futures trading and even more so in VIX. As soon as the data hit, VIX suddenly flash-crashed from 16.75 to 13.31. Which just happens to be the 100-day moving average… Bloomberg notes […]
