And before we get to US markets, let's just ponder this shits how...

US Futures show the day's chaos - standard overnight drift higher (positive China trade data which is only good due to new year timing), then a punch in the face by US retail sales, followed by headlines on China trade being "deadlocked", stocks puked into the open only to be rescued by Larry Kudlow proclaiming everything is awesome. Stocks were steady then knee jerked up on headlines from McConnell that Trump will sign border deal but were unsure as Trump is said to use emergency powers to fund his wall...and then we dumped into the close...

BMO's Brad Wishak points out that the largest stock market in the world is suggesting perhaps so, as we again stall out on a test of the 200 day moving-average (as we did in Nov and Dec as well). The NYSE ($30 trillion market cap) continues to be my most reliable guidepost despite getting little attention from the mainstream overall. DING DING.

"Normalizing interest rates when you’ve created an abnormal amount of debt is
impossible...this is the beginning of the end."

The economic guru says that the Federal Reserve has made the decision to halt interest rate hikes in order to attempt to save the failing stock market – the key indicator: how “healthy” the economy is at current. According to Seeking Alpha, the markets responded to the Fed’s decision in a positive manner, leading many to think we are “out of the woods” and no longer in danger of a recession.

However, Peter traces the moves of the Federal Reserve all the way back to the first rate hike of December 2015 and shows how the central bank has put the United States on a path toward a financial crisis that will be bigger than 2008. Peter insists he’s been right about what would happen all along, it’s just taken us a little longer to get to the actual financial disaster than he expected.

"I feel bad for all the local restaurants, all the local mom-and-pop shops who were counting on this..."

Read This:
In a symbolic gesture that basically sums up the local business community's reaction to the news, one broker described how one of their employees pulled down a sign proclaiming "this business supports Amazon" after the company released its statement. One broker said he felt bad for all the local businesses who had been counting on Amazon.

The sign displayed in the storefront of a Douglas Elliman brokerage in Long Island City summed up the real estate industry’s attitude toward the controversial deal. "This business supports Amazon," it read. Someone inside pulled the sign down after the company released a statement Thursday that it was pulling out.

"I was sitting down, so I had nowhere to fall," said Adrian Lupo, manager of Nest Seekers International next door on Vernon Boulevard. "We thought they were playing poker to get more concessions, but in the end it was not the case."

Without the boost from Amazon that could have transformed Long Island City into a 24/7 district, Benaim said he thinks it’ll remain just a place for Manhattan commuters to sleep.

"It’s still going to be a bedroom community, and I feel bad for all the local restaurants, all the local mom-and-pop shops who were counting on this," he said. "They needed this."

Meanwhile, many doubt that AOC and ‘her cronies’ ??  will manage to produce any economic growth to speak of - and certainly not enough to offset the loss of Amazon.

[[ Notice that to E-Warren the neo-nazi oligarchy in power denied her ethnic extraction.. Now they are denying to AOC her working class extraction.. you’ll see it below: NY city ]]

Amazon’s withdrawal "sends a terrible signal to the marketplace about the ability for companies to expand in New York," said Seth Pinsky, an executive vice president at RXR Realty. "The people who are younger and don’t remember the fact that New York was not always thriving, I think don’t understand that as bad as the problems of growth are, the problems of decline are even worse."

Jason Haber, a broker with Warburg Realty Partnership Ltd., said at least 10 clients have already called to discuss what Amazon’s absence from Long Island City means for them. He said he hopes none of them back out of deals over the news, but "real estate is an emotional thing."

"We literally just threw the baby out with the bath water, Haber said. "You want the Rockefellers, the Carnegies, the Bezos coming to our shores and that economic growth that comes with them. We’re not setting up New York for success in the 21st Century. What happened today is a real tragedy."

Another academic explained: Amazon's decision to pull out of NYC at the first sign of serious resistance was probably due to the fact that most big tech companies are used to operating in smaller cities or suburban towns in the Bay Area that are more willing to do their bidding. When Seattle adopted a new corporate tax on Amazon, the company simply flexed its political muscles, threatened to abandon its projects in the city - or perhaps even more its headquarters - and the city backed down.

[[ NY City case: “That's not how things work in New York City. Especially ‘not’ now that a certain former bartender is representing New York's 14th Congressional district”
[[ Aja: class issue  eh?.. A victory of the working class recognized! Then, it is the way how thing work in NY City ]]
….
[[ FACT Is: this was a victory of ex-‘bartenders’? Key Qt now is:  How working classes can do it across the whole nation?.. I guess: via Socialists fronts. So far: it was an excellent V. ]]

"Following the January rally, our S&P 500 price target (3000) is no longer considered outlandish by most. Calls from various strategists for a 1929-style recession, rolling bear market, or imminent retest of lows are now getting quieter." - Marko Kolanovic

Marko's argument should be familiar to anyone who read Charlie McElligott's latest note, in which he explained why with volatility tumbling...
See Chart:


... and with most active investors not only painfully underinvested and selling stocks for much of the past 6 weeks...
See Chart:
1920  Flows by Asset class


... but force-squeezed on their shorts, coupled with systematic funds such as risk parity and vol-targeting rushing back into stocks, hot on the heels of CTAs who have recently gone 100% "max long" again, the JPM strategist is confident that these investors will become bulls mostly due to FOMO.

Here is Marko's summary:

important groups of systematic and fundamental investors did not re-risk and missed a significant portion of the rally. This includes volatility sensitive managers, trend followers, and to a large extent hedge funds and retail.

"If volatility stays contained (and this is favored by gamma positioning), re-risking should continue" according to Kolanovic, who appears to gloss over the fact that all of these underinvested investors would have been in the market if only they had listened to him (suggesting that for some inexplicable reason the "viciously negative news and social media cycle" has more influence on Wall Street's professional money managers than one of the most respected quants in the business).

But we digress, because now that the fiasco of Q4 2018 is in the rearview mirror, it's time to double down for the JPM quant:

Following the January rally, our S&P 500 price target (3000) is no longer considered outlandish by most. Calls from various strategists for a 1929-style recession, rolling bear market, or imminent retest of lows are now getting quieter.

That said, perhaps as a result of some recent harsh market lessons, Kolanovic did hedge his latest breakout of bullishness, cautioning that "a negative outcome from the ongoing trade negotiations with China" could promptly crush his thesis:

In addition to various tail risks, by far the largest risk would be a failure in trade negotiations with China. A decline in the President’s approval rating on the back of the government shutdown and Q4 market selloff, may result in some market stability near term and may improve the likelihood of a positive outcome from trade negotiations.
