Now Dragi can unleash more QE, it's a dead certinity. Heck when money costs basically nothing to print and you can hold nations hostage why not loan them more.
You're right, and further, it saves them the embarrassment of the stock market at all time highs and their fading credibility for not having raised already...Just a gigantic circle jerk combined with some front running algo's...
yes, however, more heavy QE by Draghi and possibly Abe to follow would only push the USD higher and USD based CME WTI and USD based Comex Gold/Copper lower and that trade is leaning away from any higher SPX currently and is actually opening the door for some shorting until Fed negative interest rates is rolled out. There will be a positive day long wise on Dec 16 but these inaction days in the face of Euro and Japan QE are having shorter and shorter effects and are no longer taking us to newer highs But romik is spot on with his notions of a possible military flare-up and followed longer term aggression somewhere in the Middle East "near oil" and involving US against Russia which would sky rocket oil and thus US futures (might be one of the US's only real market support options at this point beside negative rates). Any Saudi related chatter or Saudi against Iran flare-up in this aggression would take the SPX up to 2200 or 2300 quickly based on a permanent US oil industry recovery notion So any shorting here would have to include: 1) i960's spreads strategy 2) Some $65 per bbl lotto Calls on WTI
stock index futures expected to open sharply lower after paris terror attacks. probably a good buying opp.
Probably...if for no other reason history has shown that some of the most violent rallies come off of incidents like last Friday's.
I'd like to study that a bit more...I agree that there is alot of meat on that bone...even if the rallies are to square up positions in the days/weeks prior, there is invariably a very tradeable move in the big names prior to earnings releases...
This board is full of idiots, they don't realize the market makes bottoms on horrendous news and tops on great news.
