'Dip-buyers' stepped up bravely to rescue stock markets after Trump Jr.'s email threatened to unravel the hype of Trump tax cuts... but it seems McConnell's sumemr-school for Senators has saved the day as hope is back that healthcare (then tax cuts) will emerge... and the S&P reached unchanged...

"I have this belief that we're flowing toward the path of 1928-29 when Hoover was president,[By the fall], we'll have a lot more evidence of declining growth. Growth has been slipping," he said."

He points to evidence of declining growth as well as that fall is a weak time traditionally for the U.S. economy as people return from vacation.

"[By the fall], we'll have a lot more evidence of declining growth. Growth has been slipping," he said.

Mark points to key indicators such as credit growth and tax revenues, which are declining, as proof a recession is around the corner.


He also sees trends that are going to push interest rates down, making growth harder to find and emerging markets more attractive. Those trends are the killer D's, according to Yusko: bad demographics in the U.S., Europe and Japan and too much debt and deflation.

"... one panel proposed that many of these passive portfolios can be synthetically constructed as long an Index plus short a +/- 4% out-of-the-money strangle. Thus, it seems possible that as little as a 4% decline in a single day could be enough to create critical mass; and this does not seem terribly inconsistent with many current risk parameters."
A decade ago institutional investors supported only 20% of Hedge Fund assets; presently, these investors (with a concomitant demand of narrower risk limits) make up 80% of the asset class. Since it is common for as little as a 6% drawdown to ignite a “stop out” procedure at many Liquid Alternative portfolios, it does not seem unfounded to think that risk reduction measures may preemptively commence near this 4% inflection (strike) point.

This commentary is not a call from Cassandra, but I will note that while every low point in Volatility does not lead to a calamity, extremely low Implied Volatility precedes every financial market dislocation. The purple line below is a variant of the MOVE Index that is once again kissing its thirty-year nadir.


The FED has actively encouraged and supported our current low volatility environment, and certainly this made sense in 2009-2011; but current policy seems to indicate they would like to wean the patient off the opiate of ZIRP. The slight complication is that instead of Portfolio Insurance in 1987, or AAA-Sub-Prime bonds in 2007, financial engineers have found a new way to indirectly market short optionality strategies to investors who may not fully appreciate the risk of a negatively convex profile.

“What could be the catalyst to trigger such a significant pull back?

A solid auction and one which coming a day ahead of Yellen's Congressional testimony suggests there is little fear in the bond market that the Fed chair can unveil any major hawkish surprises.

"That is a very different world you have to operate in, that’s a big change in the tide,... We act like we know exactly how it’s going to happen and we don’t."
...

Louis Crandall, an economist at Wrightson Icap, said at the time:

"When they [the Fed] launched QE, they were confident about the direction of the impact but cautious about projecting the precise magnitude. They should be even more cautious about estimating the impact of unwinding the portfolio, as they have even less control over the outcome."
The unwind will be lumpy for sure...


And today, none other than JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon poured some more cold water on The Fed's complacency at this 'storm in a teacup'. Speaking at a conference in Paris this morning, Bloomberg reports that Dimon warned...

“We’ve never have had QE like this before, we’ve never had unwinding like this before."

“Obviously that should say something to you about the risk that might mean, because we’ve never lived with it before.”

“When [the unwind] happens of size or substance, it could be a little more disruptive than people think."

“We act like we know exactly how it’s going to happen and we don’t.”

Central banks would like to provide certainty but “you cannot make things certain that are uncertain,” Dimon said. All the main buyers of sovereign debt over the last 10 years -- financial institutions, central banks, foreign exchange managers -- will become net sellers now, Dimon said. Investors are listening closely to policy makers to determine when and how central banks will start reducing their balance sheets. A global bond rout spilled over into equities last week on signs that central banks are taking a more aggressive stance.
“That is a very different world you have to operate in, that’s a big change in the tide,” he said. “The tide is going out.”

Will "the tide is going out" be the "the music stopped playing" quote of this collapse?

Supposedly catalyzed this time by EIA forecast production cuts, WTI crude has spiked off an early tumble for the 3rd day in a row, running stops above $45. It appears the algos missed the fact that EIA also cut its price forecasts for the next two years, cut demand growth estimates, and confirmed OPEC production is higher than expected...

The oil market is rather depressed and subdued at the moment, but could awaken at moment’s notice if large volumes of oil production are disrupted from some unforeseen event.

At the G-20 in Hamburg, it is said, President Trump was isolated, without support from the other G-20 members, especially on climate change and trade. Perhaps so. But the crucial question is not whether Trump is alone, but whether he is right. Has Trump read the crisis of the West correctly? Are his warnings valid? Is not the Obama-Merkel vision of a New World Order a utopian fantasy?
