meantime squeezing the shorts in the US...
"The SP500 rally last night was apparently due to an error. A US house made a mistake and bought 5400 futures when they should have bought just 54 futures. This turned all long var players, who were going to sell the close, into buyers. Since you cannot cancel MOC orders in the last 10 minutes, these var swap delta buyers had to buy back their MOC amount plus more to get the right hedge.
This amounted to $5billion worth of fake buying, causing the Dow to rally 250 points in 20 minutes..."
Given that HK is the last to close is this suggesting the Nikkei will re align itself towards HK when the Nikkei opens?
that's unbelievable,
thanks for the post Edwood
I Think I mentioned this during the Feb/Mar correction, but it might be time to bring it up again. During recent corrective periods, the SPI is very highly correlated with the nikkei, so I would highly recommend anyone trading the SPI to keep an eye on what the nikkei is doing.
The nikkei and the HSI normally feed off each other during the day(not just during corrections, it happens all the time with these 2), so it's a good idea to keep an eye on it as well.
Another day of 1 to 1 to 1 moves on the SPI, Nikkei, HSI you could ad the YEN into that as well.
nice gap fade today if anyone took it - here's a stab at a count on the recent action - can potentially count a five move down so possibly due a decent pull-back now. altho in these markets making predictions is a mugs game
hi Can - SPI hours are 9:50am - 4:30pm, 5:10pm - 7am (or it might be 6am). looked like short covering today, we tested the HOD twice and it was taken over after the cash close so there were probably a few stops there to help it on up
