Banks Skid On "Cheap" Treasuries Bid As Chinese Currency Collapse Continues

With US Treasury yields spiking to extreme 'cheapness' relative to Japanese and German bonds (and stock dividends) it seems a 'value' bid has re-emerged, sparking a notable drop in long-end yields (despite the ongoing collapse in the Yuan to fresh record lows). The Treasury bid is flattening the curve dramatically which in turn is knocking the exuberance out of the ridiculous spike in bank stocks.

 

Paul Krugman Doubles Down On Fiscal Expansion Claims Contradicted By Data

"Everything about recent experience," Paul Krugman says, "suggests that the world desperately needs fiscal expansion to boost demand and... that our sole reliance on central banks isn’t working." However, the "recent experience" Krugman refers to doesn’t actually back his case.

China Ridicules Obama's Last Foreign Tour: "Washington's Leadership In Global Affairs Has Decayed"

"The victory of Trump, who swore to "make America great again" and has been supported by nationalists and skeptics of globalization, reflects an increasing trend of isolation in U.S. society...  Against such a backdrop, Obama's conciliatory overseas trip is doomed to be fruitless, and will only intensify the strategic uncertainty of the U.S. allies, instead of reassuring them."

"Going Down In Flames?" Market Breadth Thrust Gives All-Or-Nothing Signal

Large, broad stock market rallies like last week’s can either kick-start a major up-move or signify an exhaustive end to a rally.

Import Prices Decline For Record 27th Month As China Exports Most Deflation In 6 Years

For a record 27th straight month, US import prices declined in October (-0.2% YoY) despite a surge in fuels and lubricants (up 7.2% MoM). China continues to export its deflation abroad with imported prices at the lowest since Oct 2010 even as Asia near-East saw a surge in export prices.

Empire Fed Rebounds But Employment Indicators Tumble, Optimism Declines

Manufacturing firms in New York State reported that business activity was essentially flat in November, with the general business conditions index climbed out of negative territory for the first time in four months, rising eight points to 1.5 above the expected -2.5. However, in a troubling sign, both employment indicators declined notably, while inventory levels hit a 4 year low, as optimism about the future posted a modest decline.

Retail Sales Spike To 2 Year Highs As Departmnent Store Sales Continue Collapse

US retail sales beat expectations in October (+0.8% vs +0.6% exp) and September's gains were also upwardly revised (driven by a surge in gas prices which sparked a decline in spending on food services). This data revision sends year-over-year gains to a 4.3% - the highest since Nov 2014 - leaving Janet and her friends fewer excuses to hike rates in December. Department Store sales crashed over 7% YoY as non-store retailers grew at almost 13%.

REVEALED: Donald Trump Vows to ‘Reopen 9/11 Probe’ That Could ‘Spark a Revolution’

DONALD Trump has vowed to reopen the original investigation into the 9/11 terror attacks 15 years after the massacre shook the world.
by Joshua Nevett, Daily Star:

Disenfranchised working class voters propelled the billionaire reality star into the White House this week in one of the biggest election upsets in US history.
In his first days as President-elect, Republican Trump has given few clues on how he plans to honour his pledge to “Make America Great Again”.
But ahead of his Brexit-style election earthquake, Trump threatened to lift the lid on one of the most catastrophic terror attacks in modern history.

On Monday, Google said it’s implementing a new policy that pulls its popular advertising tool from "fake news" websites that run "misrepresentative content" although it stopped short of banning fake news from its pages.

Where Unicorns Be

Trump And International Security

Since Donald Trump's election, media-fuelled panic has engulfed Europe, including over defence and security. We are told that World War III is imminent, that Trump will jump into bed with Putin and pull the US out of NATO. In fact, it is the EU, not Donald Trump, that threatens to undermine NATO and the security of the West. In recent days, European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker, his foreign policy chief, and the German Defence have suggested that Trump's election should give greater impetus to a European defence force.

"Cheapest" US Treasuries In 3 Years Spark Japanese Bond Selling, Send 10Y JGB Yields Positive At 8-Month Highs

At 225bps, the extra yield gained from buying 10Y US Treasuries over 10Y JGBs appears to have been the catalyst for tonight's sudden moves in bond markets. The widest spread since 2013 has sparked JGB selling (10Y JGB yields +2bps broke above 0.00% and back at their highest since March) and UST buying (10Y UST -6bps, 30Y<3 .00="" p="">

Stay Alert, America: The Worst Is Yet To Come

Each cut, each attempt to undermine our freedoms, each loss of some critical right - to think freely, to assemble, to speak without fear of being shamed or censored, to raise our children as we see fit, to eat what we want and love who we want, to live as we want - they add up to an immeasurable failure on the part of each and every one of us to stop the descent down that slippery slope. It’s taken us 200 short years to destroy the freedoms our founders worked so hard to secure, and it’s happened with barely a whimper of protest from “we the people.”

CNN Dem Strategist Mocks White Trump Supporter Beaten In Chicago - "Oh My Goodness, Poor White People"

Left-Wing Violence in Wake of Trump Victory Won’t Stop Until America Completely Shuns the Corrupt ‘Mainstream Media’

by J. D. Heyes, Natural News:
In the days following President-elect Donald J. Trump’s historic upset victory over the mainstream media’s (MSM’s) handpicked candidate, Hillary Clinton, demonstrations, violence and threats of assassination against the real estate mogul-turned-politician have continued to proliferate. One of the main reasons for this is that the same MSM is using the opportunity to further propagandize Trump’s victory and make it seem as though a sizeable portion of the country is against him.
That’s simply not true, and any logical, thinking person can figure that out, for if it were the case, Trump would not have won. But he did win, and in doing so he flipped millions of Obama voters to seal the deal.

Democrats Caused President Trump; They Caused His Victory

by Eric Zuesse, Washington’s Blog:
Here’s a video where Carey Wedler explains in her own thoroughly truthful way in just four minutes, how and why Democratic Party voters for Hillary Clinton in the Democratic Party primaries did more than perhaps any other single political group of Americans to help make Donald Trump become America’s President. But here, in my own equally truthful way, which you can easily verify for yourself by simply clicking onto a link anywhere that you question a statement’s veracity (which, of course, can’t be done with any video), I’ll explain it, very differently:

Gold & Silver: Light At The End Of The Tunnel

by Dave Kranzler, Investment Research Dynamics:
Gold and silver and the mining stocks still have tremendous YTD gains despite the highly manipulated take-down that has been orchestrated since early Wednesday morning. The smash has been executed entirely in the paper derivatives in London and NYC. De rigeur for the Central Banks.
Eric Dubin discusses why we’ve probably seen the last of the downward manipulative pressure on gold and silver: Gold and Silver Decline Is Fading, Dow Rolling Over and Rory Hall published an article on Trump that accompanies the precious metals analysis and our Shadow of Truth episode to be released later today: The Trump Trojan Horse

GEORGE SOROS DECLARES WAR ON AMERICA AS VIOLENT MOVEON.ORG PROTESTS FILL THE STREETS

by Geoffrey Grider, Now The End Begins:
Hillary Clinton supporters were filmed setting fire to the US flag while marching through the streets of Portland, Oregon. Footage also emerged of activists setting tyres and rubbish bins on fire, blocking main roads and lighting flares. People also burned an effigy of the President-elect, who will be officially sworn into office in January.
AS DONALD TRUMP TOTALLY DESTROYED THE HILLARY CLINTON POLITICAL MACHINE, GEORGE SOROS RADICAL PRO-AMNESTY LIBERALS STARTED RIOTS IN CALIFORNIA.
EDITOR’S NOTE: Former teenage Nazi George Soros spent tens of millions of his ill-gotten gain to try and stop Donald Trump from winning, but to no avail. His handpicked puppet Crooked Hillary was roundly rejected by the American people. So naturally, if you’re George Soros, the only thing left to do is pay unemployed liberals and leftists to march in the streets, spouting filthy curses while burning the American flag.

Left-wing violence in wake of Trump victory won’t stop until America completely shuns the corrupt ‘mainstream media’

One of the main reasons for this is that the same MSM is using the opportunity to further propagandize Trump’s victory and make it seem as though a sizeable portion of the country is against him.
That’s simply not true, and any logical, thinking person can figure that out, for if it were the case, Trump would not have won. But he did win, and in doing so he flipped millions of Obama voters to seal the deal.
But if you’re watching from abroad and even inside America, the MSM would have you believe that there is massive opposition to a Trump victory. You might even be led to believe that a revolt is brewing. That’s because the protests – which are bought and paid for, by the way – are being amplified by the very same media that was in the tank all along for Hillary Clinton and President Obama.
