Daily Trading Stance

  • The Weekly ABC Consumer Confidence yesterday was out at -53. The lowest since the 9th of February and very close to the all-time low of -54. Where are the green shoots?
  • Stocks went slightly higher yesterday, but S&P500 is still trading below the 50 and 200 DMA's. Not even the high was higher yesterday. The market should still fear the effect on system liquidity from the Treasury auctions this week. Sell on rallies, but watch out for Durable Goods Orders today.
  • Eastern European CDS prices are continuing higher. Get short PLN and HUF vs. EUR.
