US MANUFACTURING PRODUCTION GROWTH SLOWS IN NOVEMBER

Industrial Production and Manufacturing remain significantly lower on a year-over-year basis with the latter actually decelerating in November...

After a surprising re-acceleration in October, analysts expected US Industrial Production growth to slow once again in November and it did but still managed a modest beat, rising 0.4% MoM (against +0.3% exp) from +0.9% MoM in October (revised lower). However, this left Industrial Production still down 5.34% YoY...

Manufacturing production rose 0.8% MoM (double the expected 0.4% gain), slowing from the +1.1% MoM in October. This actually slowed the YoY momentum back to -3.7% YoY (from -3.5% YoY)...

IMPORT & EXPORT PRICES LANGUISH IN DEFLATION FOR 10TH STRAIGHT MONTH 

However, core import prices (ex-food and fuel) rose 1.6% y/y in November

By Tyler Durden

With the dollar plunging, one could be forgiven for thinking import and export prices would be rising fast, but according to the latest data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, both continue to languish in annual deflation.

  • Import prices rose 0.1% MoM (less than the expected 0.3% rise) leaving YoY at -1.0% (worse than the -0.9% expected)
  • Export prices rose more than expected at +0.6% MoM pushing the YoY change up from -1.6% to -1.1%

See Chart:

https://cms.zerohedge.com/s3/files/inline-images/bfmCE7A_1.jpg?itok=NT8aA96U

 

That is the 10th straight month of deflation for both import and export prices.

However, core import prices (ex-food and fuel) rose 1.6% y/y in November...

‘if all are in, who is left to buy?  The death from Pfizer’ vacc-won’t buy: Hun.Th.Mill??

WILL "SANTA CLAUS" VISIT "BROAD & WALL"   

“You have to wonder precisely how much ‘gas is left in the tank’ when even ‘perma-bears’ are now bullish. Therefore, the question we should ask is ‘if everyone is in, who is left to buy?”

….

No way for Santa to buy flowers & placed in a cemetery, they wee incinerated

                ….

Since 1990 a third of US population have returns below the average for the non-December months, but in Dec 2018 we saw a “lump of coal” in investors’ stockings.

The next graphs show, in orange, aggregate cumulative returns by day count for the 30 Decembers analyzed. In the first graph, we plotted returns alongside daily aggregated average returns by day. The second graph is the percentage of positive days versus negative days by day count and returns.

The question is whether there is anyone “left to buy?”

Did Everyone Already Buy?

As noted in “Irrational Exuberance:”

“You have to wonder precisely how much ‘gas is left in the tank’ when even ‘perma-bears’ are now bullish. Therefore, the question we should ask is ‘if everyone is in, who is left to buy?’”

It is not just sentiment, but also the speculative positioning of investors. Currently, options traders are too lop-sided with “put/call” ratios very depressed.

2.5 TRILLION REASONS TO CARE ABOUT THIS WEEK'S 'QUAD WITCH' OPTIONS EXPIRATION

...the Gamma & Delta Tilt metrics have seen fairly sharp reversals, which indicates some deterioration of the options structure. Said another way, we see options support crumbling...

Like all December option expirations, this month's is large, with $2.5tln of SPX-linked options notional (linked to 8% of the S&P's market cap) expiring on 18-Dec, but for a December, it is not extreme.

Nomura's Charlie McElligott notes that in recent days, flows have pivoted from "crash-up" FOMO hedges to actual "crash-down" protection

See Chart:

https://cms.zerohedge.com/s3/files/inline-images/image001%20(21).png?itok=nAlhBPxU

 

Why?

  1. “extended post-election chaos” narrative farce and ensuing hedge unwind,
  2. “vaccine reflation / economic renormalization” pull-forward,
  3. increasing probability of a “lame duck stimulus” deal,
  4. pro-cyclical Q4 “risk-on” seasonality and
  5. “cyclical value over secular growth” rotation in thematic single-name

Have all been factors to offset and squelch index level vols, all further supporting the equities market “feedback loop”-supportive-flows from options Dealers.

The big change however, McElligott notes, has been client hedging focus:

  • For the past few weeks, it had been about fear of missing the “Crash-UP,” .
  • But over the past two days, we have now begun seeing grab instead for “Crash-DOWN” .

See Graph:

https://cms.zerohedge.com/s3/files/inline-images/image010%20(4).jpg?itok=Kb9bndRz

 

This has all happened as we approach this week's "unclenching" op-ex:

Post Op-Ex is always the “window for movement” as $Gamma typically “unclenches” the market from previously insulating Dealer hedging flows thereafter (i.e. window opening potentially tomorrow with VIX expiration through some time next wk), although the aggregate $Gamma has already dropped notably and currently down to just 25th %ile since 2013 with some likely monetization of upside winners

As SpotGamma notes, the Gamma & Delta Tilt metrics have seen fairly sharp reversals, which indicates some deterioration of the options structure. Said another way, we see options support crumbling.
