Mkt Fag: After the Bell Market Report

Markets were basically the same from the earlier report-you then have a piece of news at 2:52pm EST of this-and another trading rule that most ignore..For no reason what-so-ever do you Short a dull market-it will bite you in the ass every single time It's dull for a reason and waiting to trap people who are not patient-perfect example of that today.

Biden signs into law new $1.5 trillion bill to fund U.S. government

https://www.marketwatch.com/story/biden-signs-into-law-new-15-trillion-bill-to-fund-us-government-2022-03-15

and voila!!! they all march higher into the close because you have little to no action after the big block trades earlier see below for that. Which then allowed this >>130539 which was a combination of shorts covering and a big boy exit because it did nothing-actually drifted lower until several hours later-see news item above (interdsatingly enough that huge block trade is no longer reflected in the daily chart-cap #2 but the shorts covering en masse in all three indices are still clearly visible (red circle)-yet the 2.60B transaction (exit) and many times larger on the NAS is now "missing"-funny that. The volume was on track to exceed the daily averages by quite a bit and the combination of the huge exit on the NAS (which was seen by MANY) necessitated a lowish volume rise towards the close and everyone who re-shorted a dull market (NEVER DO THIS) had to bail once it broke above the HOD from the earlier ramp job and it feeds itself. You can see the volume started out heavy then trailed off to nuffin and then get active towards the close (thin black line on cap#2)

>>130532

>Shorts covered about 18 minutes into the NAS, DOW and SP500 session and visible on all three. So a combination of smart shorts (and those that did that 4 minutes before yesterdays close were really smart)

See here: >>130473 pb

>if not for a 46.52m shares transaction approximately 4 minutes from the close it would have closed on it's LOD or perhaps made a new one-this is likely (smart) shorts covering.

Kudos to those who reacted based on what they see/saw and not what they read or are told because that group did NOT get slaughtered by today-many did not so that is why they did it en masse early on.

>>130538 Fresh part of Treasury yield curve inverts, with 7-year rate trading above 10-year yield

Still this way... 7 year outperforming 10yr and now a full 11 basis points higher as of this writing-cap #3..it was 7 basis pts earlier-this is NOT insignificant. This has the resut of 10Y at its highest since July 2019 and makes whatever they "announce" tomorrow totally irrelevant-this doesn't mean the markets won't move it just means they are accomplishing nothing as rates have already risen almost 66 basis points via the 10 year note over the last few weeks and when the 7 year outperforms the 10 year. The market is pricing in 7 rate-hikes for the year-yet curiously has them starting to be removed by early 2023...DERP!!!!!!! This is reflected in the forward OIS spread mentioned several weeks ago-in fact at the last FOMC meeting.

see this and cap #2 >>126758 pb FOMC Minutes: "Faster" is the Word-calculatedrisk

So the circular logic for today is that stocks go up because there are many rate cuts planned and priced in-key point here thus guaranteeing a recession because we already have priced in them starting to remove said rate hikes in 2023.

FUGGEN DERP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

let us repeat this from yesterday >>130445

>So they can raise them by 25 or 50 or not do a damn thing because IT HAS ALREADY BEEN DONE

Oil is trying to sustain a weak (very) bounce at just above $94-see cap#4 and seeing some short covering here locking in the movement from about $127.xx (moar realistic entry point for a short because you are NEVER going to get the top or bottom-that is reserved for the "club" and we ain't in dhat. "Peace" breaking out everywhere Ukraine (rumors), Iran Deal closer, and just about everything reality based being ignored....you did see that PPI # right?- 10.0% YoY in February (vs +9.7% YoY in January)-see Cap#5 and that was brushed aside by the indicies and BTW January's PPI data was revised higher, from +9.7% to +10.0% YoY.......so this is not "improving" despite the attempts of financial media to convince you otherwise.

5-Count Felon JPMorgan Is at the Center of a New, Multi-Billion Dollar Trading Scandal

Traders who feel they were robbed of their profits trading nickel last week at the London Metal Exchange (LME) have taken to Twitter to verbally accuse the LME of favoring their “cronies” and behaving like “slime balls.”

Lining up as crony suspect Number 1 are units of JPMorgan Chase who, together, hold the largest number of Class B shares in the London Metal Exchange than any other member. Those units are J.P. Morgan Markets Limited with 25,000 shares; J.P. Morgan Metals Limited with 19,100 shares; and J.P. Morgan Securities with 25,000 shares for a total of 69,100 Class B shares, according to a listing of shareholders on the LME’s website. In addition, the CEO of the Hong Kong Stock Exchanges and Clearing (HKEX), which bought the LME in 2012, is Nicolas Aguzin. He joined the HKEX last May after spending 31 years at JPMorgan. Aguzin also serves as a Board Member of the LME, where his bio notes that “from 2013 to 2020, Mr. Aguzin was CEO, J.P. Morgan, Asia Pacific where he was responsible for all the firm’s business across 17 markets.” The reason that both the LME and JPMorgan are taking the heat from traders who say they were “robbed” of their profits, is that one of JPMorgan’s clients – the Chinese nickel and steel producer Tsingshan Holding Group – had secretly built up a massive short position in nickel, using both contracts at the LME and also over-the-counter derivative contracts with JPMorgan and other banks. When the price of nickel began to spike dramatically higher last Tuesday, the banks scurried to try to close out their short positions in nickel by buying back the contracts. That heavy buying pushed the price of nickel to a record $100,000 a metric ton and the banks could no longer afford to keep buying to close their short positions.

Bloomberg News has named JPMorgan as the largest counterparty to the Tsingshan trades while the Wall Street Journal has indicated that Standard Chartered and BNP Paribas are also involved.-named here >>130330 pb on Sunday evening. It is believed that at some point last Tuesday the banks came clean with the LME as to what their total derivative exposure was and to the massive losses they would experience if the trading that occurred last Tuesday was allowed to stand. What is not in dispute is that the LME suspended trading in nickel last Tuesday and cancelled all of the thousands of trades that had occurred last Tuesday prior to the suspension of trading. The cancelled trades benefited the short positions but left other traders with profitable long positions out in the cold. (You can read all of the LME’s pronouncements about cancelled nickel trades and the like at this official link.) In addition, to give JPMorgan and the other banks involved time to figure out a solution to their self-made mess, the LME has suspended trading in nickel since last Tuesday. Yesterday, the LME posted a notice stating that “trading in LME Nickel Contracts will resume at 08:00 [a.m.] London time on Wednesday 16 March 2022.”

As our readers might recall, it was secret derivative contracts in concentrated positions of certain stocks held by the big banks on behalf of the Archegos hedge fund last March that cost major global banks over $10 billion in losses. And yet, here we are again talking about secret derivative contracts and potentially heavy losses for banks. Because we can't have THAT as a result- >>130439 pb Tsingshan’s controlling shareholder is Xiang Guangda, who is believed to have been behind the idea of going short billions of dollars in nickel. Yesterday, Bloomberg News reported that Guangda had “reached a deal with his banks for a standstill agreement to avoid further margin calls. During the standstill period, Xiang Guangda’s Tsingshan Group Holding Co. and its banks will continue discussions about a secured credit facility to cover the company’s nickel margin and settlement requirements….”

As we pointed out in our past reporting on Archegos, margin loans are supposed to be federally-regulated so that systemically-important banks like JPMorgan Chase don’t blow themselves up and leave the taxpayer on the hook for a bailout. The FCA responded promptly,and in a typical fashion, the CFTC remained silent.

I think I will post that on QR to get more eyes.

Japan ruling coalition proposes new stimulus package to cushion economy

Japan's ruling coalition officials called on Tuesday (Mar 15) for a fresh spending package to cushion the economic blow from the Ukraine crisis, which has hit households and retailers by driving up already rising energy and food prices. The coalition also urged the government to offer payouts to pensioners to ease the pain from the COVID-19 pandemic, a sign Tokyo will be slow in weaning off crisis-mode support for the fragile economic recovery. "We'll proceed with deliberations, taking into account the ruling coalition's proposal," Chief Cabinet Secretary Hirokazu Matsuno told reporters, when asked about the payout idea. Japan must come up with measures to deal with a possible economic downturn as the war in Ukraine could aggravate the hit from rising inflation, said Tatsuo Fukuda, general council chairperson of the ruling Liberal Democratic Party (LDP). "Given rising inflation, there's a chance Japan may experience stagflation," Fukuda told a media briefing. In a speech at a meeting of government and ruling coalition officials, Natsuo Yamaguchi, head of the LDP's coalition partner Komeito, also proposed compiling a new stimulus package.

LME confirms price limits for nickel trading when markets reopen tomorrow

Trading in nickel contracts on the London Metal Exchange (LME) will resume at 0800 GMT tomorrow, after being suspended for over a week.

LME has confirmed this will include daily upper and lower price limits – to ensure future rallies reflect the underlying value of the metal.

The price controls were foreshadowed by Matthew Chamberlain LME chief executive. He told Times Radio he would “definitely” consider whether the LME should limit short-selling following the debacle, despite previous pushback from sellers about potentially more supervision in the market.

https://www.cityam.com/lme-confirms-price-limits-for-nickel-trading-when-markets-reopen-tomorrow/

Price controls which limits the upside as the pricing ran away from the system bacause it was MASSIVELY short. This is EXACTLY what will happen in the Silver Market and how they will do it when they lose control of it.

U.S. Mint announces silver shortage

The United States Mint will not strike 2022 Morgan or Peace dollars, with Mint officials identifying silver planchet shortages as the reason for the cancellation of the planned coins.The United States Mint today announced it will forgo the production and sales of Morgan and Peace Silver Dollars in 2022. This calculated pause is directly related to the global pandemic’s impact upon the availability of silver blanks from the Mint’s suppliers. The suspension will give the Mint time to evaluate the best way to allocate our limited supply of silver to ensure the best customer experience we can. “We’ll be required to make business decisions like this until the supply chain for silver blanks recovers from the disruptions caused by COVID,” said Mint Deputy Director Ventris C. Gibson.

“I want to be ensure that our customers know,” she said, “that the modern renditions of the historic Morgan and Peace Silver Dollars will continue next year. Our goal is straightforward: to give our loyal customers the products they want and the service they deserve.”

AMC boss admits $27.9M stake in gold and silver mine likely a surprise to investors

March 15, 2022

Movie theater chain AMC just bought a sizable stake in a gold and silver mining firm – a surprise move for a company attempting to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic.

The company said it is buying a 22% stake in Hycroft Mining Holding Corporation and its 71,000 acre mine in Nevada in exchange for $27.9 million in cash. Canadian billionaire Eric Sprott made an equal investment in the mining firm.

AMC’s latest transaction has little in common with its core business operating movie theaters, which have struggled to lure back viewers during the pandemic. AMC CEO Adam Aron acknowledged the deal might come as a surprise to the company’s investors.

“To state the obvious, one would not normally think that a movie theatre company’s core competency includes gold or silver mining,” Aron said in a statement. “In recent years, however, AMC Entertainment has had enormous success and demonstrated expertise in guiding a company with otherwise valuable assets through a time of severe liquidity challenge, the raising of capital, and strengthening of balance sheets, as well as communicating with individual retail investors.

“It is all that experience and skill that we bring to the table to assist the talented mining professionals at Hycroft,” he added.

Despite its pandemic-era struggles, AMC has emerged as a prominent “meme stock” and favorite of retail investors in recent years. The company’s stock rose nearly 7% in trading following the deal’s announcement.

In its announcement, AMC said the mine “has some 15 million ounces of gold deposits and some 600 million ounces of silver deposit,” according to third-party studies.

Meanwhile, Aron said he canceled a planned appearance on CNBC due to legal concerns as AMC’s purchase prompted a flurry of trading volume.

“I am excited about our investment in HYMC, but there has been so much volume in that stock today, lawyers insisted I stay off air,” Aron tweeted.

The transaction is Aron’s latest attempt to jumpstart AMC’s business through alternative means. Last week, the AMC CEO revealed that the movie theater chain would begin accepting dogecoin for online payments – after starting to take bitcoin and Ethereum months earlier.

ECB puts Russians in EU, even residents, under scanner

European Union regulators have told some banks to scrutinise transactions by all Russian and Belarusian clients, including EU residents, to ensure that they are not used to circumvent Western sanctions against Moscow, three sources told Reuters. The instructions from European Central Bank (ECB) supervisors mean tens of thousands of Russians and Belarusians resident in the EU face intense surveillance by their banks, which are on alert for big payments and deposits as well as new credit applications, the sources familiar with the matter said. While EU sanctions against Moscow exempt people holding temporary or permanent EU residence permits, they place some restrictions on access by Russian nationals to banking services, including preventing banks from accepting deposits above 100,000 euros ($110,000) from Russian nationals or entities.

Hello QRB fam from UK Bread.

Wanted to drop this current dig IN PROGRESS on the Hyde Park Winter Wonderland Q pics.

This particular Q pic sequence has bedeviled us from the beginning for a paucity of any marker we could use to narrow WHEN during that 45-day or so 2013 WW the pics might have occurred. We could identify the year and nothing more.

Currently in the UK bread we have found a string of lights with a few burned out lights which we were hoping to use as a marker to compare with open source vids of tourists, locals and theme park aficionados. Mebbe even some open source still photos.

You can guess the line of thinking. Normal logic would be that a pic showing darkened light bulb, where there once was a lighted one, was taken AFTER the one showing a lighted bulb. Now you may say, what if they were vigilant about replacing burnt out bulbs? Well, just an obs of what we are currently seeing is that such vigilance is not seen there. If we haven’t already found a date showing a different pattern of lights out, then wish us luck. We are just starting to look for this marker.

God bless you, fellow Anons.

Chinese stocks stage record rally as Beijing moves to calm markets

Chinese stocks mounted a record rally Wednesday after Beijing said it would move to stabilize markets and the economy, sending Hong Kong's benchmark index to its biggest gain since the 2008 financial crisis.

The surge continued in New York. Online retailer JD.com was up 28% around 10:30 a.m. local time, while Alibaba gained 21%. Internet service provider Baidu saw a 24% rise and fast-food chain holding company Yum China climbed 7%. Electric vehicle maker Nio saw an increase of 17%. The Nasdaq Golden Dragon Chinese Index, a benchmark for U.S.-traded companies, was up 25%. Earlier in Hong Kong, Chinese tech stocks staged an impressive rally after days of intense selling. The surge was led by a 48.3% climb in shares of Global Data Solutions while video-sharing platform Bilibili jumped 40.8%. JD.com, Nio, short-video platform Kuaishou and food delivery provider Meituan all gained more than 30%. Alibaba climbed 27.3%, while Tencent Holdings went up 23.2%. By the close, Hong Kong's Hang Seng Index was up 9.1%, bouncing off a six-year low to its biggest jump since 2008, while benchmark indexes in Shanghai and Shenzhen rose 3.5% and 4%, respectively. The Hang Seng Tech Index, which includes several Chinese technology companies listed in Hong Kong and New York, closed up 22.2%, its largest daily rise since 2009.

In a filing to the Hong Kong Stock Exchange Wednesday, Bilibili, which had sought a secondary listing in the city last year, said it would pursue a dual-primary listing on the bourse. Markets have been roiled by Russia's invasion of Ukraine and China's worst-ever COVID-19 outbreak, which forced the lockdown of financial center Shanghai and industrial hub Shenzhen, and stoked broader concerns about the world's No. 2 economy.

However, shares got a boost as Beijing signaled Wednesday that it would move to stabilize markets, take steps to deal with a property market crisis and speed up the work of a wide-ranging regulatory crackdown, including reviews of major Chinese tech companies. "Relevant departments should actively introduce policies that are beneficial to the market and cautiously introduce contractionary policies," said state news agency Xinhua, citing a meeting of the Financial Stability and Development Committee under the State Council chaired by Vice-Premier Liu He. Any policies that could impact equity markets should be cleared with the committee first, or the relevant department would be held "accountable, if necessary," it warned. The remarks "mainly served the purpose of guiding market expectations as it sent a signal that top policymakers were aware of market concerns and policy stance would stay accommodative," Goldman Sachs said in a research note. But it added that there was a lack of concrete measures: "Whether or not accommodative communications alone can boost sentiment remains to be seen." The Xinhua report Wednesday also said Beijing and Washington were making "positive progress" over an audit of Chinese companies listed in the U.S.

The latest bout of intense selling began last Thursday after five Chinese companies listed in New York were notified by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission to expect delisting by 2024. The five, which included restaurant operator Yum China and cancer drug developer BeiGene, are already listed in Hong Kong or Shanghai. The SEC has moved to implement a 2020 law that requires companies listed on American exchanges to allow U.S. inspectors to review their audit records. If Chinese companies cannot meet compliance standards, most will face the risk of being delisted in the U.S. Earlier this week, Chinese tech shares were also hit by Beijing's publication of a new draft regulation that would extend time limits on children's internet use, set last year for games, to streaming and social networking apps.

Cap #2

FOMC Statement: Raise Rates 25bps

Indicators of economic activity and employment have continued to strengthen. Job gains have been strong in recent months, and the unemployment rate has declined substantially. Inflation remains elevated, reflecting supply and demand imbalances related to the pandemic, higher energy prices, and broader price pressures. The invasion of Ukraine by Russia is causing tremendous human and economic hardship. The implications for the U.S. economy are highly uncertain, but in the near term the invasion and related events are likely to create additional upward pressure on inflation and weigh on economic activity.

The Committee seeks to achieve maximum employment and inflation at the rate of 2 percent over the longer run. With appropriate firming in the stance of monetary policy, the Committee expects inflation to return to its 2 percent objective and the labor market to remain strong. In support of these goals, the Committee decided to raise the target range for the federal funds rate to 1/4 to 1/2 percent and anticipates that ongoing increases in the target range will be appropriate. In addition, the Committee expects to begin reducing its holdings of Treasury securities and agency debt and agency mortgage-backed securities at a coming meeting. In assessing the appropriate stance of monetary policy, the Committee will continue to monitor the implications of incoming information for the economic outlook. The Committee would be prepared to adjust the stance of monetary policy as appropriate if risks emerge that could impede the attainment of the Committee's goals. The Committee's assessments will take into account a wide range of information, including readings on public health, labor market conditions, inflation pressures and inflation expectations, and financial and international developments. Voting for the monetary policy action were Jerome H. Powell, Chair; John C. Williams, Vice Chair; Michelle W. Bowman; Lael Brainard; Esther L. George; Patrick Harker; Loretta J. Mester; and Christopher J. Waller. Voting against this action was James Bullard, who preferred at this meeting to raise the target range for the federal funds rate by 0.5 percentage point to 1/2 to 3/4 percent. Patrick Harker voted as an alternate member at this meeting.

none of what they say or do matters.

The public doesn't pay attention as rates have risen from 1.725% on 0301 and risen 52 basis points in 15 days.

Mkt Fag: After the bell Market report...all 'bout doze rates...doze rates

As previously mentioned-sorry to sound like a broken record but it doesn't matter what they do cause they are so far behind it nao-this whole thing about the FOMC raising rates at every meeting is classic-Jamie Dimon told everyone weeks ago they were gonna do this yet the reaction after this was actually confirmed via the dot plot was quite hilarious. Straight UP (yellow line in cap#2)towards the close-and gunned from 2:36 pm on into the close-just as Powell started yapping his flaps. Decimating everyone who was dumb enough to lay any short position on-don't forget there are 2-3x leveraged short positions too so total destruction after the head fake and then ascent as mentioned above

>>130666 evil trips confirm this : >Markets dipped slightly and usually the first move is the head fake. (red line in Cap#2)

10 year still reflecting the roughly 50 basis point rise since 0301-closed at 2.196%

https://www.marketwatch.com/investing/bond/tmubmusd10y

And then wut habbened was this: seven hikes is precisely what the market (and serial douchebag Jamie Dimon) had been saying all along. However, once the Fed confirmed that the market was right, guess what happened? Rate hike odds tumbled. Because they already have them being priced out starting in 2023-see here >>126758 pb FOMC Minutes and mentioned in yesterdays report further up the thread. So what this means is that they (FOMC) has raised rates once (memeber dis is prime NOT real rates you or I pay) yet the 'market' is pricing in roughly two rate cuts in the next 3 years-din't hear Jamie say anything about that then or even nao. See Cap#4

But that "confirmation" of something known for over a month was the "fuel" for the ramp into the close-Hello J-J-J Janet and the inkjets!!-black line and the "pile on" from everyone else that saw dat. They had this all ready ta go and this is the dichotomy: The Fed estimated the rate of U.S. inflation, using its favorite PCE price index, would average a whopping 4.3% in 2022. That’s up from the bank’s 2.6% estimate four months ago and just 1.9% a year earlier. Any sane person who shops and looks at it from a pragmatic POV can see the truth about inflation here: https://www.shadowstats.com/

They essentially come out and say "well this whole inflation is transitory thing...well we got that wrong...sorry muh bad". The financial MSM articles then say "wow they messed up" but fail to point out how flawed the model(s) are to begin with.

The dollar still coming off it's close to 2 year highs-see cap #3.

Brazil Delivers 100-Point Rate Hike, Pledges Same Boost for May

Brazil’s central bank raised its interest rate by 100 basis points and pledged a hike of the same magnitude for its next meeting, slowing the pace of one of the world’s most aggressive tightening cycles to gauge the inflationary impact from higher oil prices. Policy makers on Wednesday lifted the benchmark Selic to 11.75%, as forecast by 38 of 44 economists in a Bloomberg survey and in line with prior central bank guidance for a smaller hike. The other analysts either expected a fourth increase of 150 basis points or a still large 125 basis-point boost. The bank has now raised rates by 975 basis points over the past 12 months.

EIA: Oil Prices Will Remain Above $100 For Months

Oil prices will remain higher than $100 per barrel in the coming months, reflecting the geopolitical risk from Russia’s war in Ukraine and the tight energy markets with the current and potential future sanctions against Russia, the Energy Information Administration (EIA) said on Wednesday. Brent Crude prices are expected to average $105.22 per barrel this year, the EIA said in its latest Short-Term Energy Outlook (STEO) last week, significantly raising its February forecast of $82.87. In its March STEO last week, the EIA said it expects Brent Crude prices to average $117 a barrel in March, $116 for the second quarter of this year, and $102 per barrel in the second half of 2022. WTI Crude, the U.S. benchmark, is set to average $113 a barrel this month and $112 per barrel for the second quarter of 2022.

You may be just the help needed to crack this one. Pic is from a Q drop. One is full color original while other has colors muted. Persons of interest are the couple where guy in red knit cap is using a selfie stick and woman may be holding a phone herself. I enlarged to 285% and while not as good as hoped, the woman appears slightly asian to me. Lisa page could appear asian from a pic like that but something about the length of the face tells me that is not Lisa Page.

Trying to discern Stzrok & Page, or Bill Priestap and another woman. Was Priestap the one with the Chinese girlfriend?

Timeframe is Winter of 2013/2014. Place London UK, specifically the Winter Wonderland annual event in Hyde Park. This is to help the Brits with Q drops and just might help wth another set of pics known as the Embankment Series.

I don't want to throw it to General Research at this time, seems mention of Stzrok and/or Priestap brings out shills, like in UK bread that decided to pop up where they usually stay away.
