Thursday: You Only Need One Chart

A subsequent widening of UST-Bund spreads, all conspiring to support the dollar, and just like that, higher stocks as the reflation meme is viable again.

Folks, this couldn’t be anymore obvious.

Remember what we said this morning? To wit:

Well, we suppose the overarching narrative here for retail investors is pretty goddamn simple: buy the f*cking dip. Every time. Don’t even think about it. Just do it – like a Nike check.

But as usual, there are other things going on behind the scenes. Things like the ECB covertly bailing out the dollar on Wednesday by dropping a “little” hint about the market having “bigly” misinterpreted Draghi’s signaling.

That’s just all there is to it on Thursday.

A little (possibly coordinated) help from i) a Fed that’s rolling out a cautiously hawkish message (again), ii) an ECB that’s suddenly walking back its hawkishness (i.e. leaning dovish – again), iii) some underwhelming inflation data out of Germany, iv) a subsequent widening of UST-Bund spreads, all conspiring to support the dollar, and just like that… f*cking presto… higher stocks as the reflation meme is viable again.
