Hmmm..there's two things going on though.

1) Military exercises inside Russia but close to the Ukrainian border.

2) Russian troops inside the Ukraine occupying Crimea.

It looks like he's just said (1) will stop.

Cannot wait for Marketwinner to post saying "there will be some opportunities in selected instruments."

DAX gaps open 1%, the FTSE .73% should be an interesting session. .... now it'll likely slosh around like a fish outta water

 

[CanOz]

Awaiting fireworks on the HHI/HSI/AUD/SPI this morning....

 

[CanOz]

Quite a divergence in our BID_SPY indicator

BID is Sotheby's, on the top, the bottom is the SPY etf.... the theory (i think i read it in TASC) i read several years ago is that a weak market shows up first in the art auction markets....

not sure if it is the best place as more trend/general in context but for the bear in me:

Hope some will find it interesting as opposed to the pink lenses view of general media....

 

[CanOz]

Some pretty big size being chucked around on the offer on the HHI today...10s of 100 lots...

 

[CanOz]

HHI and the HSI are would up like a top now...

 

[MARKETWINNER]

Emerging markets hard currency debt was the best performing fixed-income asset class in February despite some political tensions in several countries, especially Ukraine and Russia. . Institutional investors are back in the business while retail investors that continue to exit emerging markets bond funds. I think EM FX, rates and credit have become cheap enough to attract interest from non-dedicated EM investors. Indian shares rallied to record highs on Friday. We cannot expect fully-fledged war between Russia and Ukraine. There was some relaxation in recent market tensions over Ukraine. Just like some investors and other market players who over reacted to India on Indian rupee and worries there, this time too they over reacted to the Ukraine situation. We saw temporary rise in prices of some commodities despite higher inventory level and expected higher supply in 2014. This situation created some opportunity for some market players. MSCI's emerging markets index is headed for the fifth straight week of gains. Indian markets posted their biggest weekly gain since early 2013. On the other hand picture was gloomier in emerging Europe.

South Asian region should do well in the coming months. Already Pakistan had one of the best bull markets in the world. Along with India, frontier markets such as Bangladesh and Sri-lanka too are looking for market direction now. In short some emerging and frontier markets in Asia especially south Asia should outperform other emerging and frontier markets in the coming months due to new development. Similarly there could be some opportunities in some sectors in developed markets. In the meantime the dollar climbed on Friday. Actually dollar rose to six week high versus Yen. Asian currencies too had the best week since September 2012. There is a speculation that the Federal Reserve will slow further stimulus cuts. We have to wait and see. Have a nice week end!

My ideas are not a recommendation to either buy or sell any security, commodity or currency. Please do your own research prior to making any investment decisions.

Interesting that the DAX was the worst hit yesty, down 1.4%, seems worries about gas supplies into Europe are weighing on the market a bit, the Eurostoxx down nearly 1% as well. The FTSE only down .64% and the US markets basically flat.

let's not forget China please: this is the real elephant in the room

Monday gap downs have a poor record of sticking, like last week, they normally finish higher but how many more can the dudes lift. The other thing with Monday gaps is when the few that do carry on down they really get nasty. Its probably due for one of those............... Isn't bears?

Come on TH, the world is about to collapse, has been going to do so since the dawn of time, so it is all just a matter timing?

Is it this time?

On a lighter note :
Buy yourself one of my all telling crystal balls. A 50% discount applies to those ASF members for the next twenty hours*

*unless China collapses before hand. **
** But as you are well aware, my crystal ball has told me China is going to be okay for the foreseeable future.

On a lighter note :

What about this. First 8 seconds of the day the HSI does 270 points high to low. then nothing for the rest of the day.
