Stocks, Bonds, VIX, Dollar, & Gold Rise After China's Worst Week In 6 Months

An odd week of "buy all the things" - Stocks up, VIX up, Bonds up; Dollar up, Gold up.

China shit the bed (worst week in 6 months), bonds bid on great growth (weak sales, inflation), semis suddenly puke after massive surge (SoKo GDP, Semi sales collapse, INTC, XLNX...), crude crushed on green shoots (Trump trumps OPEC as demand forecasts upheld), and gold gained on a higher dollar - none of these 'oddities' matter, stocks are at record highs and AMZN is awesome...

China's worst week in 6 months...

European markets were more mixed with Germany's DAX best, France just green but UK, Spain, and Italy in the red...

US equities initially shrugged off the blockbuster GDP print but then the machines embraced it as volumes collapsed...

And were mixed on the week with Dow Industrial and Transports in the red as Small Caps and Nasdaq outperformed...

Nasdaq's 5th weekly rise in a row, Dow and Trannies' first down week in 5 (despite a late-day panic to get green).

Europe and US remain around the same YTD as China leads (but is reverting)...

Volume continues to collapse...

S&P managed to hold above its prior record closing high of 2930.75 (but below record intraday high of 2940.91)...

VIX ended the week higher despite the S&P green...

Breadth continues to lag...

Semis finally hit a speed-bump with the second worst week of the year...

AMZN's beat and 1-day delivery lifted the stock and Nasdaq; but hammered TGT and WMT..

Tesla bloodbath'd back to 2-year lows, breaking to levels where Musk may face Margin Calls...

Catching down its ugly bond reality...

Ford overtook Tesla's market cap for the first time since April...

MSFT overtook AAPL and AMZN, nearing the trillion dollar market cap level...

Stocks and bonds bid on the week...

Despite the strong GDP print, Treasury yields tumbled on the day (and week)...

With 10Y Yield back below 2.50%!!

The Dollar ended higher on the week but lagged in the back half of the week, sliding notably after GDP...

Cryptos had an ugly week after plunging overnight on BitFinex fraud headlines...

WTI Crude suffered its first losing week in the last 8 weeks and gold had its best week since the start of Feb...

WTI tumbled on the day (worst day since Xmas Eve) after Trump's OPEC comments...

But held at its 50DMA (after breaking below a key retracement level)...

Note that 2019 has seen the fastest rise in gas pump-prices since 2006..

Gold had its best day in 6 weeks after bouncing off the 200DMA on Tuesday...

Gold also gained against the yuan - reverting back to the 8650-8700 range...

Finally, we wonder, with the tumble in global money supply, is the bounce over?

The proof of the underlying soft underbelly to GDP lies in the price. That 0.9% reading in the GDP price deflator was the lowest since the first quarter of 2016, but back then, oil prices were melting whereas in Q1 they soared.

This was a low-quality GDP report. All one-offs - lower imports, higher inventories & Pentagon spending. Real final private sales a puny 1.3%. Removing more lipstick from this pig shows cyclically-adjusted GDP contracting at a 2% annual rate; deepest decline in nearly a decade .

Fwd: The Looming Bank Collapse The U.S. financial system could be on the cusp of calamity. This time, we might not be able to save it.

After months  of living with the coronavirus pandemic, American citizens are well aware of the toll it has taken on the economy: broken supply chains, record unemployment, failing small businesses. All of these factors are serious and could mire the United States in a deep, prolonged recession. But there's another threat to the economy, too. It lurks on the balance sheets of the big banks, and it could be cataclysmic. Imagine if, in addition to all the uncertainty surrounding the pandemic, you woke up one morning to find that the financial sector had collapsed. You may think that such a crisis is unlikely, with memories of the 2008 crash still so fresh. But banks learned few lessons from that calamity, and new laws intended to keep them from taking on too much risk have failed to do so. As a result, we could be on the precipice of another crash, one different from 2008 less in kind than in degree. This one could be worse. John Lawrence: Inside the 2008 financial crash The financial

3 Reasons Why Gold Will Outperform Equities And Bonds

3 Reasons Why Gold Will Outperform Equities And Bonds https://www.forbes.com/ 3 Reasons Why Gold Will Outperform Equities And Bonds For centuries, gold has played a major role in human history and has become interwoven into the financial fabric of society. Beyond its investment following, gold has become synonymous with wealth. Historically, gold's early use cases revolved around money – a form of "medium of exchange". After the second world war however, several countries and their respective currencies, started to shift away from the gold standard and migrated towards a fiat currency system. Today, gold remains largely a "Store of Value", and due to its unique properties and large number of use cases, it has managed to distance itself from other asset classes in terms of correlation, demand / supply drivers, and investment purpose. Gold's idiosyncrasies function as a double-edged sword, as it is challenging to predict

What Will Stocks Do When “Consensual Hallucination” Ends?

The phenomenon works – until it doesn't. What's astonishing is how long it works. There is a phenomenon in stock markets, in bond markets, in housing markets, in cryptocurrency markets, and in other markets where people attempt to get rich. It's when everyone is pulling in the same direction, energetically hyping everything, willfully swallowing any propaganda or outright falsehood, and not just nibbling on it, but swallowing it hook, line, and sinker, and strenuously avoiding exposure to any fundamental reality. For only one reason: to make more money. People do it because it works. Trading algos are written to replicate it, because it works. It works on the simple principle: If everyone believes stocks will go up, no matter what the current price or the current situation, or current fundamental data, then stocks will go up. They will go up because there is a lot of buying pressure because everyone believes that everyone believes that prices will go up, and so they bid up
