ND FEB 25 19  SIT EC y POL 
ND denounce Global-neoliberal debacle y propone State-Social + Capit-compet in Econ


MADURO  must go to RU and demand:
1- Demand the right to Self-Defense  to counter act US military attack on VEN
,,, That implies the right to have the codes to use Nuke-Missiles if US attack

2- Demand to Chinese delegat  to this meeting  to post-pone further trade deals w-US
As reported below in TRADER WARNS: "THERE'S A LOT OF EUPHORIA OUT THERE TODAY"  the US is taking advantage from China deal at the expenses of life from VEN. IF China have concerns for Human Rights & world Peace they should stop their US deal

3- Demand the presence of UN anti-war delegation to this meeting.
The WW3 is evitable if the UN order dismantle of nukes worldwide. They didn’t do it yet… so they don’t have the right to stop VEN, N-Korea & other to have it for self-D

Question: What sort of bull market is this when the Dow Utilities are challenging the peaks, and yet the Transports are still 8.5% below their highs? It’s a fair question. Beneath the veneer, maybe the equity market isn’t pricing in any sort of growth rebound.

RELATED:

The US doesn't want war but it can’t get the China they need for economic coexistence. That means divorce and division of the world into spheres of interest: who is going to be the Poland in this Pact?

With those words from US President Trump, is the trade war over? Nothing is signed yet; US tariffs aren’t coming down, just not going up; we don’t have any details; and any real deal will be impossible for China to stick to.
Apart from that, everything is prety fine!  [[ awesome .. in satire terms ]]

OPTIONS
1) Trump genuinely folds
2) Trump walks away.
3) Trump and Xi sign a deal showing what China should be doing but isn’t
4) Let me be clear 1st: I’m not predicting war. But from a higher level view there is also a spectrum of US-China relation: war/enemies at one end and friends/integrated economies at the other

In short, in any scenario at some point THERE IS SERIOUS PAIN AHEAD.

What has driven the US Equities price-action?  1) US Corp stock repurchases, 2) Short-Covering, 3) Asset Manager Futures buying and 4) CTA Trend pivot from “Max Short” to "Max Long."

See previous Charts & this one:

Finally, there are the algos, which were so quickly blamed for the market waterfall in December yet which nobody has anything bad to say about now. Looking at Nomura's assumptions from the company's QIS Trend model, McElligott estimates that CTAs were -$65B “Max Short” in S&P by mid-Dec, and upon the cover and flip to “Max Long” are now ~+$50.2B notional net long for a cumulative +$115B of demand.
See Chart:


Meanwhile, and still refusing to validate the equity move higher, global money flows are clearly "defensive" in nature, with McElligott showing that Global Bonds leading inflows (+$39.2B over the past month) while Global Equities continue to be purged (-$30.9B for the last month), and as we reported last Friday, US Equities outflows in particular continue to evidence the skepticism of the rally, with Institutional outflows (-$2.6B on the wk, and -$14B for the past month), Retail outflows (-$1.7B last wk, -$8.8B for the past month), Active outflows (-$3.1B on the wk, -$9.5B over the past month) and Passive outflows (-$1.2B wk, -$13.5B past month).

Add another reason why traders are confused.

To say that the recent market moves have been confusing, would be an understatement: on one hand, the S&P500 is enjoying its best start to a year since 1987, even as the US economy continues to founder and the Bloomberg surprise index has tumbled to the lowest level in years, tracking the slowdown in Japan and Europe...
See Chart:


And yet a diametrically opposite observation about market performance can be made when looking at the performance of the S&P's constituent members, or market breadth.  According to Bloomberg, the S&P's post-Christmas advance pushed more than 92% of SPX members above their 50-day moving average. That’s only happened nine times since the beginning of the millennium...

See Chart:


... but what is more bizarre, is that unlike the massively overbought signal noted above, this one actually has a happy ending, and as Bloomberg calculates, on average ever time 90% of the index were trading above their 50-DNA, the index has gained 10% over the following 100 days (for accuracy, on 7 of these 9 occurrences, the index was higher 100 trading days later).

See Chart:

So what happens to the market next based on its massively stretched breadth indicators, at either the index or single stock level? That depends: IF one goes off how massively overbought the broader market is, the next move is down 10%. However, IF one looks at the breadth of the market thrust, i.e. how many stocks are trading above their 50 DMA, the average return in 100 days is 10% more.
In short: flip a coin.

"This may be a bear market rally for the ages, but that shouldn’t imply investors should do anything other than rent it. Owning it promises to end in tears..."


The remarkable rebound in the U.S. stock market from the lows in late December has resulted in gains that the analysts at Goldman Sachs rightly point out already constitute banner returns for an entire calendar year.
See  Chart:


History is replete with examples of major recoveries following big sell-offs, many of which turn out to be head fakes otherwise known as bear market rallies. At the end of the trading day, it’s still fundamentals that should drive investing decisions. 

If the economy is, in fact, slowing and that is what has sidelined the Federal Reserve, then what we are witnessing at the moment is a bear market rally. AdMacro Ltd head of research Patrick Perret-Green recently warned the firm's clients that though the January employment jobs report might have looked good on paper with 304,000 jobs created, it nevertheless flashed a bright recession signal as the unemployment rate ticked up to 4 percent, the highest since June.

See Chart:


According to historic payroll data and the National Bureau of Economic Research,every time the three-month average unemployment rate exceeded its six-month average at cycle peaks over the past 50 years -- like it did in January -- the U.S. economy has experienced a recession. In a 2016 speech to the International Monetary Fund, then Federal Reserve Bank of New York President -- and current Bloomberg Opinion contributor -- William Dudley corroborated the historic pattern citing research first conducted earlier in his career at Goldman Sachs.

What makes the current run historically remarkable is the magnitude of the 10.5 percent rally in such a short time span, which belies the bottoming of the unemployment rate in the face of accelerating layoffs.

See Chart:
Bear Market Rallies can be Protracted & Pronounced


It was a bit curious to read in his recent Bloomberg Opinion commentary that Dudley thought it was “hard to see how the normalization of the Fed’s balance sheet tightened financial conditions in a way that would have weighed significantly on stock prices.” The current bear market rally was, after all, catalyzed by Chairman Jerome Powell’s assurances that quantitative tightening might be suspended soon, a stance since corroborated by both hawkish and dovish Fed officials.

Skeptical investors have been badly bruised if they were emboldened to fight both the Fed and the C-Suite at the same time. There is one force, however, that trumps both of these faith-based investing approaches and that is economic fundamentals. This may be a bear market rally for the ages, but that shouldn’t imply investors should do anything other than rent it. Owning it promises to end in tears.

Today is a memorable day for bond traders: for the first time in years, there were two auctions within 2 hours of each other which came in... INVERTED.

See Chart:
5 Years Treasury Auction History

So overall, a stronger auction than today's 2Y sale, but again the most memorable consequence is that on the day we had a 2Y and 5Y auction, the two priced inverted, continuing to indicate that nothing in the economy is as well as soaring stocks would make it.

"Concerns of earnings recessions and, indeed, the probability of outright recessions have abated. Rather, decision makers and traders are only too happy to dream of falling back on the policies that worked so well for them over the last decade."

While 'hope' has collapsed in macro-economic data over the past few weeks:
See  Chart:

Former fund manager and FX trader Richard Breslow notes that there has been plenty of hopeful news out the last few days.
The Chinese government is stepping up its liquidityprovisions with much optimistic discussion of the transmission mechanism to the real economy finally kicking in. Wholesale securities deregulation of rules previously implemented to curb bubbles is quickly being enacted and margin debt on stock purchases leap to a new high for the year.

Risk-related assets have taken their cue from the optimistic side of the coin and boomed. Equities are flying.
See Chart:


Chinese stocks didn’t merely have a good day. They gapped higher on the open and never once looked back. And they did so in volume not seen since 2015, when the market was busy exploding higher before promptly imploding lower, presaging a multi-year period of far lower volatility.

See Chart:


There is a lot of euphoria out there today. Concerns of earnings recessions and, indeed, the probability of outright recessions have abated. Rather, decision makers and traders are only too happy to dream of falling back on the policies that worked so well for them over the last decade.

GEO-POL n GEO-ECO  ..Focus on neoliberal expansion via wars & danger of WW3



He will be well protected inside Prison until Maduro finish his mandate. He risk his life IF the US intervene militarily in VEN. There’re many people who hate him .. He can also be killed by US mercenaries to accuse Maduro of such crime. Now he is useless for the US. IF he really wants to be Pres.. he has to wait. Only in jail his life  will be protected and his followers  can demand his freedom & pardon.. IF there is not war.
