ZH beschreibt treffend die Absurdität der aktuellen Gemengelage. US-Aktien könnten bei schlechten wie bei guten Neue-Stellen-Zahlen einen Sprung nach oben vollführen. Allerdings sollen sie bei guten Zahlen noch etwas höher steigen als bei schlechten Zahlen.
Worauf können Bären da noch hoffen? Darauf, dass die Erwartungen (185.000) genau getroffen wird und damit Long- und Short-Zocker gleichermaßen falsch liegen? ;-)

As DB so well-puts it, "Welcome to random number generator day also known as US payrolls." Consensus expects 185k new in October but it’s fair to say that the whisper number has edged up this week with slightly firmer US data. It is also fair to say that even if one knew the number beforehand, it would be impossible to know how the market will react.
Recall that the October mega rebound started with the 57 point S&P 500 turnaround on the weak payroll number last month, and then in the last few weeks, the rally continued on strong economic news, as the odds of a rate hike jumped, as did the Dollar and for some reason algos assumed that this (manifesting in a spiking USDJPY) is good for corporate earnings and the S&P. In other words, stocks may well jump if the NFP [= neue Stellenzahl, A.L.] misses and they may jump more if the NFP beats. Or they may plunge in either case - nobody knows. At the end of the day, it all really depends on Citadel's HFT spoofing of the E-mini (with the NY Fed's green light, of course).
