Stocks Haven't Done This Since The COVID-Crash In March 2020

Debt Ceiling concerns are mounting fast as Biden blames McConnell:

After the desperate rampathon on Friday, stocks drifted gently lower overnight on the heels of Evergrande headlines. That drift turned into an avalanche at the US cash open (as yields spiked and cryptos puked in what felt like some liquidation effort) and stocks stabilized around the European close. Nasdaq was doiwn over 2% on the day and was the biggest loser while Small Caps and The Dow outperformed by only losing 1%...

Nasdaq closed at its lowest since June.

Notably, the S&P gave up all its Friday ramp gains and that's where support came (at a key inflection point in S&P's gamma profile)...

Another Paradox: Consumer Spending Expectations Surge, Despite Dismal Income, Earnings

Call it the latest economic paradox. Despite widespread stories of doom and gloom about the state of US consumer finances once the fiscal stimulus bill expires on Dec 31, the latest NY Fed survey of consumer expectations unexpectedly shows that US consumers have little intention of slowing down their spending. In fact, and very paradoxically, despite depressed and flat income and earnings growth expectations, with median one-year ahead expected earnings growth at 2.0% for fifth consecutive month and expected income growth barely little changed at 2.14% ... ... consumers' 1-year ahead spending growth expectations jumped to 3.73% over the next 12 months in November - the highest level in more than four years, not only up from the 3.06% in the previous month but a whopping 33% more than the 2.8% reported last November, making this the biggest Y/Y increase in expected spending in series history. This bizarre increase took place even as labor market signals were mixed: although t...

China Exports, Imports Fall Sequentially, Adding To Slowdown Fears

China's exports rose 19.3% y/y in July, missing the median consensus expectation of 20% (ranging from 15.4% to 30.7%), and declining sequentially -0.3% in July after rising +5.7% in June. Imports also rose less than expected, up 28.1% Y/Y in July, below the 33.3% median expectation, and fell 6.4% sequentially after surging +11.3% M/M in June. As a result this disproportional slowdown in imports vs exports, China's monthly trade surplus actually rose to $56.6bn in July, slightly better than the $53.3BN consensus, and up from $51.5BN in June due to the bigger miss in imports. ASEAN was China's biggest trading partner in July, followed by the Europe Union and the U.S., customs data showed. China's exports to the US grew 13.4% in July from a year ago, while imports from America rose 25.6%, leaving a trade surplus of $35.4 billion in the month. Some more details: By geography: Export growth slowed across major export destinations, and exports to major DMs continued to be a ...
