Ok, it’s all falling apart now.
As Bloomberg notes, “10Y futs just rose more than 10 ticks on heavy volume with the price topping the earlier session high 127-13 [while] S&P futures are continuing to pare gains from the cash open.”
It looks like between jitters about Hurricane Irma, a sense that another ICBM launch is just around the corner in North Korea, indeterminacy about the future of the Fed exacerbated by last night’s news that Trump is no longer considering Gary Cohn, and this morning’s econ which gave markets the first read on what we can expect in terms of the near-term drag from natural disasters, whatever “hope” yesterday’s debt ceiling deal managed to instill is fading.
Here’s 10Y yields and USDJPY, both of which are at or near the lows (yield new YTD low):
S&P futs:
And gold is climbing back near a one-year high hit earlier:
Oh, and in a sign of the times following yesterday’s BoC hike Canada 5Y yield > U.S. 5Y yield for first time since 2014…
Oh my. (hands to face) The sky is falling. No, this is the way sh”t hits the fan.
