The euro strengthened(1)
The dxy weakened (2)
I expect a pop in the indexes (3) on the open
its all currencies doing this
But keep an eye on the 30y (blue) its going up. Everything follows the 30y eventually. A swap coming to correct today
In between everything else in this "market" you are working against:
a) cb money games
b) corp malfeasance
c) supply shock
d) rising interest rates
e) vol sellers slurping theta
f) fintwit "influencers"
g) cnbc shills
And know that i am of the strong opinion you must do swaps, ideally iron condors or at least butterfly's to protect from theta decay and rot of vix due to swaps.
See here - notice the vix vs dxy
Its not TIGHT correlation but there seems to be influence.
U don no when swaps hit
Another observation - say you have a loan on a 10m office building.
you got the loan at 2%.
Well that sucks rn cause interest rates are way higher.
So, you want the arb on the interest rate - so you "swap" interest rate w/ higher, and they pay lower.
Banksters will bankster.
sorry - spreads

with this swap, it looks like usdeur and usdgbp both weakened. Currency pairs - one side gets weak, other strong - USD will probably get strong. Not good for risk assets.
I will also suggest that dxy is funny instrument - member states can cut interest rates and dxy goes up, and member states can raise interest rates and dxy goes down - totally not intuitive.
A few highlights - its not just lithgraphic machines - its also "US PERSONS" - aka - if you are a US passport holder and a chip manu expert you cannot work in china without a license.
Hopelessness breeds hopelessness, which breeds cynycism. The next branch i think is either self harm or an angry attack on the society itself - a rejection of society that caused the suffering.
If you have followed me long enuf you know I am absolutely in love with Asian culture.
The warmth and compassion i received here in vietnam could fill the known universe. No joke.
That said, something terrible has happened.🧵👇
Just like america, Thailand has a love affair with weapons. They are easy to get. And just like america, tragedy happens far too often. reuters.com/world/asia-pac…
I visited Thailand 2 years ago - one of the highlights of my lifes journey. They have a water festival every year thats so fun.
And an explainer - this one might blow your mind...

The answer is yes.
This used to be my favorite report btw fred.stlouisfed.org/series/NUGACBW…
the green line is the sp500
the blue line is their gains/losses
So if you extrapolate this a little the s&p had dropped to 4100, and the losses at the banks exploded.
we now hovering around 3600?
In march of this year, the fed let banks off the hook that they no longer needed to disclose their gains OR losses. federalreserve.gov/releases/h8/20…
