Terrible news...  the paper oil market was utterly destroyed. As May expired, the rest of the front-months were clubbed like baby seals...

As Bloomberg's Javier Blas noted:
"Yesterday was scary. Today is a lot more scary. The whole oil market is screaming oversupply simultaneously. "

And that fear spilled over into stocks (S&P's biggest drop since April 1st)

Earnings Estimates Still Too High
SEE CHART: earning risk due to CV impact  [Updated]

Earning low:  In our first analysis, earnings were expected to decline That is a decline of -2.3% in Q1 and a total decline of -6% in Q2.
Those numbers have now been revised for a decline of -4.4% in Q1, and a total decline of 10.2% in Q2.
SEE CHART

So, with the entire U.S. economy shut down, 15-20% unemployment, and -20% GDP, earnings are only expected to decline by 10%?

History suggests this is not likely to be the case.

First, let’s review GAAP Earnings (actual real earnings) as compared to GDP. Not surprisingly, since stocks are not the economy,” there is a higher correlation between economic growth and corporate earnings. This is because, without economic growth, consumers don’t have paychecks with which to consume, which is where corporate earnings are derived from.

SEE CHART  GAAP Earning  vs. GDP Growth

Assuming a 15% decline in GDP (some estimates run as high as 30%), the suggestion of only a 10% decline in earnings seems laughable. The chart below looks at S&P’s estimates (as reported) going back to 2008, versus the S&P 500, and expectations for a “V-sharped” market recovery.
SEE CHART:  S&P500 Index  vs Eaning annual % change

Again I ask you, “Does it seem realistic that with a decline in economic growth not seen since the “Depression,” earnings would only decline by 10%?”

Valuations Are An Issue
We just want to get through the typhoon, and we’d rather come out of it with a whole lot of liquidity. 

Currently, the “race to chase the bottom” has gotten investors to once again vastly overpay for assets which portends poor future returns. More importantly, they have jumped into “buying risk,” at a point where that “risk,” or rather the opportunity to lose capital, can not be calculated.

Bank of America’s Savita Subramanian has also done the math and concludes that as ‘stocks have rallied, bottom-up consensus estimates for 2020 have fallen’, which in turn has pushed the S&P 500’s forward  P/E ratio from March’s low of 13.0x to 19.5x, higher than mid-Feb’s peak P/E of 18.9x.” Zerohedge
SEE CHART:  Best P/E Ratio

The Bear Market Isn’t Over
 The chart below is the long-term log trend of earnings versus its exponential growth trend.
See Chart: Earning reversion likely on par with financial crisis


Using that historical context, we can project a recession will reduce earnings to roughly 100/shareThe resulting decline asset prices to revert valuations to a level of 18x (still high) trailing earnings would suggest a level of $1800 for the S&P 500 index.”

SEE CHART:  S&P500 Bear Market correction potential

Again, I am not “overly dramatic” or “super bearish.”  I am also not saying the index is going to 1800.

What I am saying is there is a good bit of data to support the thesis that a much larger earnings decline is in process, and markets will have to adjust to bring valuations in line with earnings.

That is just how markets work both with, and without, the Fed.[as SYSTEM .. where common actors –inversor y comprador- ‘desaparecen’ ]

A more realistic, and still overly optimistic of a 50-60% decline in earnings, makes current valuations even more difficult to support. (Using the chart and table below, you can pick your price and valuation level.)
SEE CHART:

Whether its corporate profits, earnings, or GDP, no matter how you analyze the data, it suggests the outlook for stocks going into the summer is not favorable.

While it certainly seems to be a simple formula that as long as the Fed remains active in supporting asset prices, the deviation between fundamentals and fantasy doesn’t matter. It has been a hard point to argue as of late..

However, what has started, and has yet to complete, is the historical mean reversion” process which has always followed bull markets. This should not be a surprise to anyone, as asset prices eventually reflect the underlying reality of corporate profitability and earnings.

Recessions reverse excesses.

OIL.. EJE del poder polit-Econ en el US is Down. What is next: take it from Saudis/Ven?

Forget Turnaround Tuesday...

Oil is a “dangerous market to trade in right now,”. The market needs shutins to happen now.  “This has changed everything,” , said Monica Malik, chief at Abu Dhabi Com bank  

“So much of the recent recovery was based on the fact that the oil price had been above $50-$60, providing support to economic activity, n that’s just been decimated.”

This "price slump was psychologically very important,”
“There is a possibility it will change perceptions forever.”

The best summary of today's chaos came from Bloomberg energy reporter Javier Blas who put it simply:  

"Yesterday was scary. Today is a lot more scary. The whole oil market is screaming oversupply simultaneously. June WTI, which four weeks away from expiry, just touched $6.5 a barrel. The market is going to force huge production cuts not in May or June, but immediately."

Update (1435ET): With settlement now come and gone, the May contract soared back higher today... and adjustments to the USO allocation (to June, July, and August) prompted a bid in each ahead of the settle which all then plunged back after...
See Chart:

Update (1345ET): Here we go again. June WTI is now crashing - trading below $7 - down over 65% on the day...
See Chart:

Remember the settle occurs at 1430ET (and the expiry of the May contract)... and the prompt spread (May-June) has surged back to zero...
See Chart:
WTI Prompt  Spread (May-June)

Dan Genter, CEO of RNC Genter Capital Management said:

“The ETFs that are dealing with the contracts in the commodities are never going to take physical delivery, they can’t take it. There’s not a doubt the oil ETFs distorted the market. It was across the board but the ETFs, in our opinion, were the biggest problem,” he said.“The panic is because there are people invested in that commodity and in the contracts that not only have no intention of taking delivery, they have no capacity for taking delivery. All of a sudden, you’re up against a wall. They call it a contract for a reason.”

But, don’t worry, because President Trump will take the pain away... right?

WHAT IS NEXT? Plunder Gold from Peru? But CAN own half of Comp-property. How to?
"FED CAN'T PRINT GOLD": BOFA CALLS GOLD "ULTIMATE STORE OF VALUE", RAISES PRICE TARGET TO $3,000   [ I Have the answer for the HOW TO. Send $2Mll & is yours ]

As central banks and governments double their balance sheets and fiscal deficits respectively, we have also decided to up our 18m gold target from $2,000 to $3,000/oz.

The Fed can't print gold , unlike every other asset.. but can raise its price. In April 2011,  gold price exploded to a record above $1,900/oz .. Today our 18m tons of gold can elevate its price from $2000 to $3000/oz, suggest  Bank of America.   And here we are, when can convert BOFA into the biggest US bank once gold get the "ultimate store of value."

Here key highlights from  Gold prices report:  they performed very well in recent periods:
As central banks and governments double their balance sheets and fiscal deficits respectively, we have also decided to up our 18m gold target from $2,000 to $3,000/oz.
