US: Semiconductor stocks continue to be a bright spot in an earnings season that has taken its toll on technology investors.
KLA-Tencor Corp. led the group higher Tuesday, climbing as much as 15 percent for the biggest gain in almost three years, after its fourth-quarter results topped the highest expectations. The report echoed a theme of strong demand just days after heavyweights like Advanced Micro Devices Inc. and Xilinx Inc. crushed expectations.

The strength in chip stocks has been magnified as tech investors slammed the sell button for tech darlings in the FANG bloc. The megacap group has stumbled through a rocky earnings season that pushed the FANG Index down 9.3 percent over a three-day slump following Facebook Inc.’s record meltdown. The Philadelphia Semiconductor Index jumped 1.9 percent Thursday, defying the Facebook-led rout, and added another 1.3 percent on Tuesday.

In my view
1-The TRADE WAR IS HITTING BOTH THE US AND CHINA
Fact 1.1 US selling-buying of stocks were magnified artificially to recycle USD, the fact is that Value stocks outperformed growth for the first month since March  see chart above
See Also: The Dollar had its first monthly drop in 4 months.. see above chart  above:

F 1.2. China case: See chart:  China stocks were mixed for the month with CHINEXT (China 'Nasdaq') worst..
F1.3. US case:  The Yield curve flattened for the 5th month in a row (and 14th of last 16) to its lowest monthly close since Aug 07...see chart above

2- When furious lions fight like cannibals.. those who don’t fight get benefits:
See chart: All major European indices green for July...

3- When China-US get PEACE in trade war  both benefit
See Notably, Yuan spiked today after headlines implied some potential progress on the US-China trade waR... see chart above
See Also: And the Dollar also spiked at the same time...

4- However, the GODS of the poor celebrate the cannibal fight and bless the poor
See   On the month of July, the Mexican Peso was the strongest against the dollar  see graph:  https://www.zerohedge.com/sites/default/files/inline-images/2018-07-31_8-00-40_0.jpg?itok=p-iBituz   Real Gods, IF exist, are sided with the poor.

My final observation:
Africans use to SAY  “ cuando los elefantes pelean, quien sufre es el grass: los de abajo sufren. En el TRADE-WAR de hoy ocurre lo inverso: son los “inversionistas de arriba” los que más pierden y es el imperio mayor el que también pierde más.  Y no solo ellos pierden,  también la gran iglesia cristiana pierde adeptos. El GOD BLESS AMERICA va quedando obsoleto  por bendecir dictaduras. Si no lo creen, pregúntele al Papa y su bendición a la dictad ARG del plan Condor, after Allende kill in Chile.

Use of this financial instrument has ballooned. No one knows to what extent because there’s no disclosure. But it was a “key contributor” to the sudden collapse of outsourcing giant Carillion...

READ THIS:
As regulators and stiffed creditors were poking through the debris of collapsed outsourcing giant Carillion – once employing 43,000 people worldwide – they found that the UK company had hidden much of its debts. And Fitch Ratings warned that this “technique” – a “debt loophole” – may be “widespread” in the US and Europe.

Carillion provided services to governments. It didn’t manufacture anything, didn’t have a lot of assets, and didn’t have a lot of debt – at least not disclosed on its books. Net debt on its balance sheet amounted to £219 million. But Fitch estimates that it had an additional financial debt of £400 million to £500 million.

This debt was hidden by a “technique commonly referred to as reverse factoring, Fitch says. And it was a key contributor to Carillion’s liquidation.”

But this was financial debt owed to banks – not trade accounts payable.
Any disclosure?
Cash obtained via reverse factoring is particularly fragile because when this company gets into financial distress, the bank simple cancels the reverse factoring program, and the company will have to come up with funding to pay down its accounts payable to the terms agreed to with suppliers.

To use our example above, the buyer would have to come up with $66.7 million to pay down its payables from 180 days to 60 days – and this would happen as the buyer is already under financial stress, just when it can no longer borrow money at survivable rates. This is how reverse factoring increases the likelihood of a sudden default and Carillion-style collapse.

“Sectors that are large users of reverse factoring include consumer packaged goods, telecommunications, chemicals, retail, and aerospace,” Fitch says.

GM, Fiat Chrysler, and Ford all got ugly in unison, in one day, something we haven’t seen since the Financial Crisis. Read…  Carmageddon in Detroit

"... there can be no denying that so far, I am wrong and the yield curve keeps going down faster than the plate of drinks at the end of David Hasselhoff’s table after a taping of Britain’s Got Talent."

Yet there can be no denying that so far, I am wrong and the yield curve keeps going down faster than the plate of drinks at the end of David Hasselhoff’s table after a taping of Britain’s Got Talent.

Much to my surprise, there were more people googling “yield curve” in 2005 than today. Would have never guessed that.

My take? All the “real” bond traders will become even more frustrated in the coming months as yield curve talk continues to dominate the airwaves. Watch for even more “yield-curve-disaster-in-the-making” articles.

Markets never set up so neatly
Let’s have a look at why so many seem obsessed with watching the yield curve. During the past three recessions, the 2-10 year US Treasury yield spread went negative about a year before the onset of the economic slowdown.
See Chart:


I admit it - I’m a yield curve apologist
One of my favourite fixed-income strategists is Janney’s Guy LeBas. Lately I have been having a good laugh at Guy’s labeling of pundits as “yield-curve-apologists.” If I may paraphrase his argument, Guy believes the world’s largest market’s collective wisdom is the best signal out there and for those that somehow find a way to convince themselves they know better than the market are arrogant beyond belief. Yeah, I get it. We all know the most expensive four words in the history of investing

Guy has little time for the central banking academic sect who warn the yield curve might no longer be a reliable economic signal, ironically, due to the quantitative easing programs central banks themselves instituted. From the FT:
See picture with BERNAKE warning


But what if the Fed is influencing the yield curve in another way?

As I have mentioned before, I believe the exponentially growing amount of sovereign debt and government’s willingness to inflate it away will eventually cause the yield curve to hit all-time wides.I find it perplexing that often those market participants most worried about the growing government debt are the very same ones advocating owning long-dated “supposedly safesovereign bondsThe more debt that is created, I believe the more likely it will be inflated away.

Falling natural level of interest
This R* or the natural level of interest has been falling for quite some time.
See Chart:

Yet what I am even more sure of is that at major turning points in market cycles, old paradigms die hard. Did the bond market would kill inflation? Not a chance. Even when he cranked short-term rates, markets assumed inflation would continue rising aggressively. So where was the “collective wisdom” of that market reaction?

My suspicion is that the yield curve will get increasingly more volatile as we progress through this next change from a dis-inflationary to inflationary environment.
Now I have to run. LeBas wants to scold me on twitter for my idiocy of joining the #yieldcurveapologists…

"Our research has found virtually no public safety rationale for the ongoing arrest and prosecution of marijuana smoking"

[[ La marihuana no crea adicción ni daña el cerebro de nadie.. El adictivo le es agregado y no solo eso, tambien se le agrega el veneno llamado crack (pasta básica) para darle fuerza a la marih criada en las terrazas de una casa.. La marih orgánica solo estimula los sentidos al max.. Yo fume el moño rojo de la selva amazónica cercana al Cusco y Machu Pichu desde entonces lo use para ir a conciertos y mirar exposiciones de arte. Y lo vendí tambien a los turistas que visitan Machu Pichu, para eso vienen (luego los lleve a Quillabamba, el paraíso de los turistas). La marihuana debe ser criada bajo el Sol, es cuando le nace la flor roja en el top. Un pitillo de 2-3 hojas vasta para volar por 2 o 3 horas y su efecto no es inmediato ni crashing. Uno lo puede fumar en casa e ir luego al concierto o al museo de arte. La Marih NO es un alucinógeno, no altera los sentidos, se puede manejar carro con ella, aunque no es recomendable hacerlo. El alucinógeno que fuman los chamanes viene de la corteza del “palo santo” un árbol lleno de hormigas al que hay que saberlo tajear. Ese “Te” si altera los sentidos, pero no mata a nadie tampoco. Lo bebí cuando un Chaman de la aldea Ashaninka le rescato el alma que se le fue a mi amigo cuando ayudo a entrar logs a la cabaña por temor al lluvion que venía. Sin darse cuenta levanto una culebra no venenosa que se protegia dentro esos logs. En la noche mi amigo no podía dormir.. se despertaba gritando CULEBRA. Tuvimos que llamar al Chaman que nos hizo danzar con él para rescatarle el alma. Fue entonces que bebi el alucinógeno. A mi amigo le dio otra bebida que lo dejo dormido como bebe mientras nosotros danzábamos a su alrededor.  Masticar la hoja de coca tampoco mata a nadie, restaura energía y mata el hambre, para eso la mastican o chakchan los quechuas y nativos. Su sabor no es agradable pero hoy se vende en NY el mate o te de coca, que es muy popular en Cusco y en todo Latino América.  Ese mate elimina el mal sabor del masticado y tiene efecto diría lejano a la coca que se mastica; efecto cercano, dicen los enamorados. Pero para el amor yo prefiero el “te” de un ichu llamado * que es el alimento favorito de las alpacas y es además el ingrediente básico del *. Su efecto es también suave como la marihuana y sin sabor alguno. Se de 1 COL que se hizo millonario en Francia vendiendo moño rojo, así como la empresa Pfizer lo logró con el *.  La marih estimula el amor y si es de selva: eleva el placer hedonista. Los que le agregan crack son los que asesinan los beneficios de marih y los que matan neuronas de gente desinformada ]]
