Die Rallye in USD/JPY (Chart im letzten Posting) kam, nachdem die Auktion für US-30jährige besser als erwartet gelaufen war. Aktien hätten demnach eigentlich abverkauft werden müssen, denn damit war die gestrige Story vom
"Umschichten von Bonds in Aktien" eigentlich tot.
Doch nun traten überraschend die "Wir müssen USD/JPY nach oben prügeln egal warum"-Algos, die nach der geglückten Auktion in Gang gesetzt wurden. Und wenn USD/JPY steigt, ist das ja "risk on" und daher bullisch für Aktien.
Dieser Irrsinn hielt aber nur bis 20:00 Uhr vor. Da sank plötzlich EUR/USD wie ein Stein um 1 Cent, weil offenbar ein anderer Algo-Computer im dünnen Feiertagshandel los-rampte. Und wenn EUR/USD fällt (auch wenn USD/JPY sich währenddessen oben hielt), dann ist das "Risk on" Signal aus USD/JPY negiert und der Irrsinn geht in die entgegengesetzte Richtung weiter - wobei der SP-500 in nur einer Stunde von 1636 (ATH) auf 1624 fiel.
Ursache war zudem ein Gerücht (typisch für Feiertage), dass QE plötzlich beendet werden soll (2. ZH-Beitrag unten).
Demand For 30 Year Stronger Than Expected, Leading To Even More Stock Buying

Following yesterday's poor 10 Year showing, which was stock positive (because apparently less demand for bonds means more demand for broken casino products), today moments before the pricing of today's finally for the week $16 billion 30 Year auction, the DJIA ramped again to fresh all time highs on hopes the 30 year would be disappointing. Yet despite a When Issued trading at 2.99%, the 30 Year actually came better than expected at 2.98%, which should have led to a stock sell off, but instead the ramp USDJPY for any reason algos took over, and the stronger auction led to a spike in the USDJPY which in turn pushed stocks even higher. Yes, that is how the stock market "works" in New Normal when broken signals translate, according to algos which confuse price for yield, into completely illogical moves by assorted asset classes. As for the 30 Year auction, it was stronger in virtually every regard: a Bid to Cover that came at 2.53, or higher than the 2.49 from April, a high yield of 2.98%, less than the 3.00% previously, and an Indirect take down of 38.8%, higher than April's 31.4%. So much for all those who saw that last hour of trading and extrapolate it through 2020, seeing yet another return of the Great Rotation or whatever.

"QE-Off Rumor?" Bonds Down, Stocks Down, Gold Down
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 05/09/2013 15:05 -0400
S&P 500 futures are currently experiencing the largest intraday drop in May - seemingly set off by this which was largely a joke uttered about an hour ago...
... Which promptly escalated into a full-blown rumor that Hilsenrath is about to issue an article heralding the end or tapering of QE.
Sigh.
Treasury prices buckled lower, gold and silver are falling and US stocks are back at Tuesday's close...
