Australian (ASX) Stock Market Forum

International markets traders banter

nothing like a few 80 point swings in the first 20 minutes of HSI action:viking:
 
Put/Call ratios in the US for equities have stayed at 0.58 whereas put/call ratios for indices have increased from 1.15 to 1.24 in the past two weeks.

The market is probably bullish on US equities. At the same time, they are hedging their bets with index puts.
 
Just saw a hundred lot on the offer on the HSI....TH are you spoofing?:D
 
Usual China rate cut rumours. What a trap....

There was a blatant and nasty seller on the Seng right from the open. Either he was pushing and loading up or he is feeling very ill at the mo.

Just before the close for lunch i noticed some size on the bid that was quite happy to be continually filled. Not icebergs but just big bids at different levels under the high, kept getting filled...:eek:

Does this mean pushing it down to get long?

Well who knows. A lot easier said than done. It was a very high volume sess even before the take off. And the last of the action was a 100 point push and ripper of a sweep to close a gap right to the tick. The way its opened back up looks like a genuine **** fight. :eek:
 
from forexlive relating to shanghai comp

"Further to previous posts/comments there does indeed seem to be increasing substance to the story that Everbright Securities prop desk were allegedly the guilty party of a fat-fingered CNY 7 bln trade

Their shares have been suspended amidst talk now that regulators are investigating the incident"
 
This 6% fat finger, whats the recourse from that?

I mean Im thinking something like that could literally wipe out locals?

Is it possible careers got ended yesterday? (not just the everbright securities guy)

Nah. It would hurt but if you cannot fix a 6% swing against you then you wouldn't be a local. Couple of weeks to fix even if it was worst case short at lows cover at highs.
