I made this brief video this morning on the sea of red in the US overnight. This may slow the FED’s quest to normalise rates.
The Australian market is down a bit:
But the financials are being hit harder:
Still above the 5,466 level reached back in 2016.
The local VIX is lower, but still elevated.
– “Normalizing rates” ? Sheer nonsense !!!
– Nope. The FED FOLLOWS the US 3 month T-bill rate. And that rate did NOT fall, remained at a record level. And when that rate stays at this record level then it signals that there still is a “buy the dip” mentality/mood.
– I saw something similar in january of this year. The 3 month T-bill rate remained flat but e.g. the S&P 500 went higher. This divergence told me that a “correction” was coming. And it came in early february of this year.
