Contagion Your Enthusiasm
After another 60% plunge pre-market, SIVB being halted with news pending is understandably spooking regional banks this morning. The KRE, ETF for the regional banks, below on the monthly timeframe to illustrate the bearish head and shoulders top forming before all this went down, is down hard with SIVB, as other banks like FRC PACW SBNY WAL may...

...Until Something Breaks
The Fed can keep trying for a soft landing, and markets can keep rallying, "until something breaks," has been the rallying cry (literally) for bulls for a good while now. But with the SIVB crash today and banks overall leading lower, as well as the small caps in the IWM, the issue is relevant as to whether now something has, in fact, been...

Make an Example Out of Them
SVB Financial Group, below on the monthly chart, is getting walloped by more than 35% this morning after it launched a $1.75 billion share offering to try to salvage its balance sheet. The lender has many startups struggling from venture capital funding. Even though the broad market is staging a post-jobless claims bounce (it is fading...

More Cross-Currents Than the Port of Shanghai
Stocks are decidedly undecided through midday, as Powell's testimony today has a much more "data dependent" feel to it when he was specifically pressed on what The Fed would at the upcoming March FOMC. However, The Fed's mouthpiece, Nick Timiraos, did tweet out that barring cold data coming in The Fed could easily raise 50 bps later this month....

It's Only a Paper Currency
… It's a Barnum and Bailey world Just as phony as it can be But it wouldn't be make-believe If you believed in me Watching Powell in front of Congress this morning drives home the notion that he still lacks the sort of urgency which is likely necessary to truly fight off inflation. And while the market overall in 2023 and even since last...

It's Tough to Conquer Even Aging Empires
Bulls are feeling their oats again this morning, using the Bostic-led squeeze intraday yesterday afternoon to fuel a test of 4000 on the S&P 500 Index this morning. Rates on the 10-Year also dipped below 4% but are climbing back above that threshold as we speak. Without question, years and years of endless dip-buying being rewarded by easy...

It's the Rate of Rates That'll Give You the Blues
Eric Johnston and Katie Stockton, two of the sharper people on Wall Street these days, have been fairly steadily bearish on risk assets amid rising rates this cycle. But even they recently came out in CNBC interviews and seemed to be apprehensive about the idea of rates going much higher from here. But that's just it: The risk continues to be,...

It's Pretty; It's So Pretty
While equities toy with the 3940/3950 support zone on the S&P 500 Index, which of course coincides with the 200-day simple moving average, we have rates on the 10-Year Note hitting 4% once again this morning. Further, while the Dollar had a soft overnight session we have the greenback firming up as we speak. But turning back to rates, the...
