Jobs Bounce Sends Stocks Soaring To Record High As Bond Yields Hit Record Lows
BR>
By Tyler Durden
Well punk, “do you feel wealthy?”
First things first, there is this… (2130.82 record close, 2134.72 record intra high)
- *S&P 500 RALLIES 1.6% TO 2,130.83, RISING ABOVE RECORD CLOSE
And then there is this… for 2016…
And since Brexit…
And today…
While on the topic – cash indices reached pre-Brexit levels…
Stocks went sideways after Europe closed…
And S&P Futures managed to run the stops above the Brexit peak…
But financials remain below pre-Brexit levels…
Despite the best efforts to mash VIX, S&P cash couldn't hold above the record close…
Since June's dismal payrolls print, Gold is the major outperformer…
But today's “goldilocks” data meant buy everything…
Trannies rose most in 4 months today – having “death-crossed” on Wednesday…
VIX has dropped over 48% in the last two weeks… the biggest collapse in fear ever….
And stocks and oil decoupled…
Only short-dated yields rose on the day and week as the long-end continued to plunge..
2s30s has flattened for 6 straight days, crushing the yield curve by 28bps in the last 2 weeks – the biggest crash since the US downgrade in 2011
So curve is collapsing… BUY BANKS??!!
30Y Yields closed on the lows today… at an all-time record low…
Stocks-to-Bonds yield spread near 8 year highs…
On the day, the USD Index ended unchanged, despite some significant swings around the payrolls print…
Commodities were mixed with PMs gaining but crude and copper getting crushed…
- Copper's worst week in 6weeks
- Crude's worst week in 6 months
- Gold up for the 6th straight week…longest streak since Aug 2011
- Silver up for the 6th straight week…longest streak since April 2011
So – to summarize – Buy Stocks, Buy Bonds, Buy Gold, Fade the Dollar, Sell VIX… sounds an aweful lot like front-running QE4 trades.
