Good Morning Again!

 

Turns out yesterday was the "as good as it gets" day, not today. Thanks to one of those quirky things that Excel does, adding one to a number when you copy it to the next row, I had the expiration date of the Trashury's $24 billion 12 day CMB off by one day. It expired yesterday, not today. Tanks to the ever vigilant Keyboard Prospector for noticing that. It means that the bulk of the one time temporary cash tsumani has already hit the market. Today the 4 week bills are issued, paying down $10 billion, but chances are the bulk of the $10 billion, if not all of it, was committed back to the money market yesterday, with some to the bond market. The big cash payment also helped prop the stock market. The benefit ends, as of today. Yields and short term rates should end their decline, if not begin rising again. No more extra jam for stocks either.

 

We are already seeing some evidence that this is the case here in the early going. T bill rates, and bond yields appear to have turned a corner. Bond yields came within a hair of yesterday's target of 4.065. 5 hr cycle indicators are heading up. 2 day cycle indicators formed a positive divergence as yeilds tested the low in the afternoon. The indicators have now turned up decisively as bond yields head for a fill of yesterday's gap down, now in the gap at 4.109. The 5 hr cycle cmap looks like 4.125.

 

Buck formed a double bottom in the 81.40-81.45 area, with indicators in a strong positive divergence, and it has bounced. 24 hr cycle indicators are 3/3 on buy signals. 5 hr cycle indicators are all on the buy side. The 5 hr cmap looks like 81.80 or so. 3 day cycle indicators are also all on the buy side. Looks like an up day for buck.

59AM? Greenspan was approached for Treasury Sec job: report by Steve Goldstein

? LONDON (CBS.MW) -- Senior Republicans sounded out Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan about becoming U.S. Treasury Secretary, the Financial Times said Thursday. The White House refused to comment on what it called "speculation" regarding Greenspan, while a Federal Reserve spokeswoman declined to comment, the report said.

Are there so few qualified people that the same 50 names have to get shuffled around like musical chairs? Talk about nepotism- it's more like inbred nepotism...

 

There is a shortage of Yes men and women for the Neocon administration-- especially ones that would seem qualified enough for these positions. If they actually have training and experience in their area, the word "yes" does not slip off of their tongue so easily with regard to the Con, I mean Neocon of course, program.
