Deconstructing The “Massive Beat” in Employment Data- Corrected

Editor’s Note: The earlier version of this article included unadjusted numbers derived from a spreadsheet error. The error resulted in the not seasonally adjusted month to month employment declines being understated. The data has been corrected. The analysis and conclusions are unaffected. Thanks to rdkyote for bringing this to my attention! The headlines are...

Quelle Surprise! Not.

And they’re off! Anyone following the Wall Street Examiner Professional Edition Treasury updates showing the massive surge in Federal withholding taxes in January would not have been surprised by today’s jobs report, but most other traders apparently were, as the SPX vaults a dozen points on opening, following a similar surge in the futures...

Professional Edition Market Update, Update

By

OK, so I know you’re sick and tired of reading the same thing night in and night out, and I’m just as sick of writing it. That and the fact that I’ve just given those of you who also get the Fed and Treasury reports enough reading for tonight gives me a reasonably good...

Casino of The Absurd

Deposit flows into US banking system (apparently from EU) continue at shocking levels. In the liquidity model of the market, there is no way the markets can decline as long as this continues. Meanwhile, the Fed continues to quietly tap the brakes, without explanation or comment, while the US money supply explodes. The Fed...

Panic On Claims Not Supported

OK, so the market doesn't like the claims number, which missed anal cyst's estimates by a wide margin. Let's look at the facts. Not seasonally adjusted, in other words, actual, claims rose by 102,000. Continuing claims wk ended 12/31 up by 361,000. Ho...

Huge Surge in Withholding Taxes Shows How Great Wall Street Is

Treasury supply is moderating as a result of a surge in Federal Withholding Tax collections in the second half of December. I suspect that this is a one time event due to Wall Street doling out much larger bonuses than last year, thanks to the wonderful job its bankers have done in guiding our...

Not Too Bearish, Not Too Bullish, But Certainly Not Just Right

Not Too Bearish, Not Too Bullish, But Certainly Not Just Right

The mad panic into Treasuries suddenly stopped this week. 1.80 on the 10 year yield looks like a floor. The question now is whether there’s enough follow through selling to break the major downtrend line which is now around 2.03. Wouldn’t it be ironic if this week’s massive ECB Long Term Refinancing Operation was...

Fed Finally Settles First Round Of MBS Offsetting Other Negatives in Liquidity

Liquidity indications were neutral this week, thanks to ongoing panic inflows of cash from Europe, as well as the fact that the Fed finally started settling the MBS purchase commitments that have been building up, but had gone unsettled since October. These positive flows offset the negatives of bank and FCB selling of Treasuries....

Liquidity Stagnant as Fed Sits on Hands, US Market Health Dependent On European Bank Diarrhea

Liquidity indications were mixed last week, with the Fed still not doing much while foreign central banks were net sellers (see Treasury update). Commercial banks started dumping Treasuries again, but their non-Treasury/non-GSE trading accounts did uptick against a bearish trend. The big plus was again bank inflows which surged massively. Meanwhile the FOMC statement...

Waiting For The Fed Report?

So am I. I was hoping to get it posted tonight, but the economic chart service I use is having “issues.” As a result the ETA for this report now looks to be tomorrow afternoon. I apologize for the delay. I can tell you that the composite liquidity indicator continues to mark time. It...

You Can Have One or The Other But Not Both

Liquidity indications were mixed this week, with the Fed still not doing much while foreign central banks were net sellers (see Treasury update). Commercial banks at least stopped dumping Treasuries but they are liquidating their trading accounts. The big plus was again bank inflows although they were not at the panic levels seen last...

TEOTWAKI Can Not Be Ruled Out

Withholding tax data suggests that we may soon see weaker economic data. That would argue for lower yields and lower stock prices. Meanwhile, foreign central banks (FCBs) sold Treasuries last week, turning away from the record accumulation of recent weeks.

Market Liquidity Flat With Hints of Weakening Ahead

The composite liquidity indicator fell sharply last week. There was some distortion to the indicator the previous week when the Fed’s SOMA fell due to transactions outside dealer channels, but that was reversed in the latest data. Bank inflows were flat. FCB buying dropped back sharply from a record rise. Bank non-Treasury trading accounts...
