"Panic Is Building" BofA Admits; Asks "How Bad Could This Get?". Submitted by Tyler Durden on 01/11/2016: "Panic is building, most likely setting the stage for a rally, but the missing ingredient here is growth. With analysts cutting estimates at an accelerating rate, increasing China risks and no apparent floor for oil prices, we remain cautious on our near term outlook for stocks."

Russian Stocks Are Crashing. Submitted by Tyler Durden on 01/11/2016: Down over 5%, Russia's RTS Index has plunged to its weakest level since Dec 2014 and the peak of its existential crisis mid-Ukraine/currency-crisis/oil-collapse. This is Russia's biggest one-day drop since April 2015. The Ruble continues to tumble (despite CNH strength) as oil pushes to new cycle lows...

Oil Tumbles To 11 Year Lows After Another Bank Joins "$20 Crude" Bandwagon. Submitted by Tyler Durden on 01/11/2016.:  Another algo-induced stop-run has tried and failed to maintain its gains this morning as Morgan Stanley becomes the latest (after Goldman) to join the "oil in the $20s is possible" bandwagon. Despite hopeful bullishness from Andy Hall who sees production destruction leading (an industry that couldn’t function at $50 certainly can't function with prices below $40) inevityably leading to higher prices, Morgan Stanley warns, "in an oversupplied market, there is no intrinsic value for crude oil. The only guide posts are that the ceiling is set by producer hedging while the floor is set by investor and consumer appetite to buy. As a result, non-fundamental factors, such as the USD, are arguably more important price drivers."

JPM: "Use Any Bounces As Selling Opportunities". Submitted by Tyler Durden on 01/11/2016.: "Our view is that the risk-reward for equities has worsened materially. Yes, stocks had a rough time most recently, and some of the tactical indicators, such as Bull-Bear at -16 which is at the bottom of its trading range, argue for a short-term respite. Clearly, equities are unlikely to keep falling in a straight line, with periodic rebounds likely. However, we believe that one should be using any bounces as selling opportunities."

GLOBAL RECESSION AT PORTAS


The following three charts make last week’s market turmoil easier to understand. Falling trade means lower corporate profits, which, if history is still a valid guide, means less valuable equities. So it could be that the markets are simply figuring this out and revaluing assets accordingly. The US trade deficit (exports minus imports) has been getting smaller. Since a trade deficit subtracts from GDP growth, a shrinking deficit will, other things being equal, produce a bigger, faster-growing economy (that’s the mainstream take).

But other things aren’t equal. It turns out that the components of that trade balance figure are both shrinking. Exports — the stuff we sell to foreigners - have been declining since the dollar spiked in 2014. That’s not a surprise, since a strengthening currency makes exports more expensive and thus harder to sell. So other countries are buying less of our stuff, which though not surprising is a bad sign.


Meanwhile, imports — stuff we buy from abroad — have also plunged in the past year, which is partly due to cheaper oil lowering the dollar value of energy and other commodity imports. But it also means that even though French wine and German cars have become less expensive as the dollar has soared against the euro, we’re not buying more of them. So US consumers, even with all the money they’re saving at the gas pump, still can’t (or won’t) take advantage of a sale on imported goods.


If imports and exports are both falling, that means consumption is weak pretty much everywhere. And weak consumption means slow or negative growth, which contradicts the recovery thesis that now dominates policy making and the financial media.

The Question Every Trader Want Answered: Are Stocks Short-Term Oversold Or Long-Term Overbought. Submitted by Tyler Durden on 01/11/2016. "Shorter-term traders will feel that many moves have gone a long way very quickly and hence appear ripe for a brief rebound. The catalyst is that, in the height of a market panic, prices can become dislocated from fundamental valuations, as margin stops get triggered and “weaker” positions get cleaned out. The counter-argument is that distortions caused by the extraordinary monetary policies of global central banks mean markets might have been disconnected from traditional fundamentals for several years."

Yuantervention overnight steadied the Chinese currency and despite a plunge in Asian equities, stabilized US equities thanks to an incvessant bid for USDJPY. However, this morning has seen PBOC's Ma crawl out from under the desk to attempt to calm investor panic with two-faced comments about the nation's new FX regime. Noting that PBOC will focus on stability of Yuan vs their new CFETS basket, Ma then back-handedly said two-way volatility was expected to increase (in a clear nod to stopping carry traders piling on). Of course, the crude oil algos loved it and surged, USDJPY jumped, but for now US equities and bond are unimpressed.

Initially both European stocks and US equity futures were grateful that China has picked at least one asset class to prop up overnight, and rose in an extremely illiquid market with European shares gaining for first time in 4 days, as S&P futures rise even as the MSCI Asia Pacific ex-Japan index just fell to the lowest level in more than 4 years. However, as of moments ago the Stoxx 600 had faded all its earlier gains and was trading near the flatline, as an algo takes out all stops on the top and bottom once more, and looks set to move on to US futures shortly.

Submitted by Tyler Durden on 01/10/2016. : Chinese stocks are trading at the lows of the day after Overnight HIBOR rates exploded a stunning 939bps to a record high 13.4%. It is clear that banks are utterly desperate for liquidity and/or are extremely concerned about one another's counterparty risk. This has dragged HSCEI down 5% (to its lowest since Oct 2011).

FBI Said To Probe If Hillary Clinton Violated Public Corruption Laws. Submitted by Tyler Durden on 01/11/2016 : In what may be the latest bad news for Hillary Clinton, whose various "previous life" scandals - from emails, to Clinton foundation donations - refuse to go away, the Hill reports, citing Fox News, that the FBI has expanded its investigation of Hillary Clinton's use of a private email server during her time as secretary of State to determine whether her Clinton Foundation work violated public corruption laws.

The State Of The Nation: A Dictatorship Without Tears.  by John Whitehead via The Rutherford Institute, Submitted by Tyler Durden on 01/11/2016. : The state of our nation under Obama has become more bureaucratic, more debt-ridden, more violent, more militarized, more fascist, more lawless, more invasive, more corrupt, more untrustworthy, more mired in war, and more unresponsive to the wishes and needs of the electorate. Most of all, the government, already diabolical and manipulative to the nth degree, has mastered the art of "do what I say and not what I do" hypocrisy.

Rand Paul Rages "The Fed Is Crippling America". Submitted by Tyler Durden on 01/11/2016: The Fed is, indeed, a political, oligarchic force, and a key part of what looks and functions like a banking cartel… We can’t really know what we don’t know until we look. We owe it to the “swindled futurity” of the next generation to take a long, hard look through a full and independent audit of the Fed.

The Great Forgetting. By Chris Hedges
[ Hedges is still playing his anarchist dystopia. He has to put in his mind that neoliberal power really exist and it has to be replaced with a power oriented to post-liberal economics & politics. Then we will listen or read him.  A revolution in America may have two stages (as scholars really inside rev practice consider) : First the democratic revolution (that includes a 3er option Front in the coming elections) and 2nd the national-classes rev . In none of them there is a role to play by  angelical academics with nightmares of anarchistic dystopia.  Why? because these “intellectuals” cannot make a distinction between rightists & socialist leaders and put together the couple Clinton-Trump with Bernie Sanders. Such idiocy doesn’t deserve any credit and credibility.]
