Time to be nervous over stocks?
calls on the S&P500, which at March 31, 2014 represented a notional equivalent of a whopping $1.1 billion, or 6 million shares! And perhaps even more notable: Tepper's 6th largest position at the end of Q1, after the SPY Call, a cash position in SPY in second place, followed by $815 million in QQQs, and $492 million in Google and $480 million in Citi, is a new position in Nasdaq (QQQ) calls, amounting to a just as whopping $438 million share notional.
To be sure, we don't know if Tepper still has any of these two massive call position on his books right now, nor do we know how much capital at risk they involve, but judging by the performance of the Nasdaq alone, the QQQ calls are hardly doing all that great
Is This Why David Tepper Is "Very Nervous"

" asking questions like: "If the Euro breaks down, and if a country leaves the Euro, it's not like a sliding door. It's a very important thing. It's a project in the European Union. That's why you have a very hard time asking people like me "what would happened if." No Plan B."
Thanks to the FT's Peter Spiegel we now know that just over a year ago, in order to preserve the myth that Europe's power echelons are so "confident" with the Eurozone staying together they did not even consider a break up as a potential outcome, Draghi explicitly and on the record lied.
"Unbeknown to almost the entire Greek political establishment, a small group of EU and International Monetary Fund officials had been working clandestinely for months preparing for a collapse of Greece’s banks. Their secret blueprint, known as “Plan Z”, was a detailed script of how to reconstruct Greece’s economic and financial infrastructure if it were to leave the euro.

Markets remain in a clear "risk-off" posture. Falling equities have been providing a bid (falling yields) to prime fixed income markets/. On the other hand, some are saying the price bubble (low interest rates) in the European periphery appears to be deflating. Note below how their yields have shot higher. This could also be fueling demand for the "safer" bonds.
Equities are performing relatively poorly. European share are ending mostly weak. Earlier, Far East markets ended mostly down. U.S. equities are much weaker. The U.S. 10-yr is 2.48%, -7bp.

“There are positions where we cannot completely avoid using the dollar, but there are also those where we should reduce its use and replace by the Chinese yuan, South Korean won, Vietnamese dong, and so on,” Ulyukayev said. “This is quite normal between countries having full-fledged trade and investment relations.”

nh - it's a ponzi scheme. Should it become clear that there are not enough buyers out there for U.S. Treasuries... then the U.S. goes from potentially bankrupt to actually bankrupt very quickly. The incentives to game the system are enormous. Rollover risk is HUGE. How much does the U.S. have to auction over the next 12 months? Does anyone actually know? On my calculations something like 4 trillion. This mysterious Belgian buying when other countries (like China, Russia, Japan) are selling consistent chunks is very suspicious. At any rate till we know what's behind it there is just too much room for concern.

Slovak PM: Russia says gas to Europe will stop if Kiev does not pay
Reply
May 15 (Reuters) - Russian President Vladimir Putin has informed multiple European states that Moscow will not supply gas to Europe as of June 1 if Ukraine does not pay its bills, Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico said on Thursday.
"Today, multiple member states including Slovakia were informed by President Putin that as of June 1, if Ukraine does not pay for supplied gas, it will not be supplied to the European territory," Fico said.
"It is a serious threat to the energy security of Slovakia."
Earlier on Thursday, Putin said Russian gas exporter Gazprom had been forced to demand Ukraine pay in advance for gas as of June after its debt for gas already delivered reached $3.5 billion.

With the 10-yr at 3.00%, my personal forecast (end 2013) for the year-end value of 2014 was for 3.40-50%. That was in light of expectations for the monthly Fed Asset purchases to fall from a USD1.0 tln annual rate to zero by year-end. The last thing I would have expected with Fed Asset purchases to have been cut in half would have been for the yield on the 10-yr to have fallen below 2.50%.

'May 15, 2014 - Builder confidence in the market for newly built, single-family homes in May fell one point to 45 from a downwardly revised April reading of 46 on the National Association of Home Builders/Wells Fargo Housing Market Index (HMI) released today.
“After four months in which the HMI has shown little signs of fluctuation, it is clear that builder sentiment is becoming more in line with the market reality of a continuing but modest recovery,” said NAHB Chairman Kevin Kelly, a home builder and developer from Wilmington, Del. “However, builders expressed some optimism that sales will pick up in the coming months.”
“Builders are waiting for consumers to feel more secure about their financial situation,” said NAHB Chief Economist David Crowe. “Once job growth becomes more consistent, consumers will return to the market in larger numbers and that will boost builder confidence.”

USD/TRY moved higher and is currently trying to emerge above the 2.0800 (R1) bar. The rate is trading above the prior downtrend line, but below the 2.0850 (R2) resistance. In my view, a clear move above that bar would bring the rate above both the moving averages and could trigger extensions towards the hurdle of 2.0976 (R3), near the 38.2% retracement level of the 23rd Apr. – 14th May short-term downtrend. In the bigger picture, the rebound on the 14th of May occurred near the 50% retracement level of the February 2013 –January 2014 advance, favoring a forthcoming leg to the upside.

As I posted yesterday
A short-lived jump in inflation... US CPI data are also due. Although the core CPI is forecast to have remained unchanged at 1.7% in April, headline inflation is predicted to jump from 1.5% to 2.0% - partly due to a rise in energy prices and base effects associated with the later timing of Easter. While this may temper concerns about US disinflation, it should be noted that headline inflation is likely to drop back again in May.

cpi. consensus tame, but you wonder if expected a little higher. all the same usd should bounce on a strong number, possibly usdjpy bounces most but probably quickly gives up gains. euro is short term oversold as is cable (both lower bollis) so possibly worth longs on another spike lower if cpi allows. poor cpi like to see cable capped by 16810 and euro 13735. specs are quite probably now short but plenty of sellers expected on any bounce.

Plenty of red again in the fixed income markets early in Europe as yields continue to fall on concerns tha economic activity hs started to level out. A clear "risk-off" bias is evident.

The focus will be on the euro area this morning with preliminary estimates of Q1 GDP and the final estimate of April CPI inflation due. Euro area real GDP is widely expected to have risen for the fourth successive quarter. We forecast a gain of 0.3%, up from 0.2% in Q4 2013, but the risk is of a stronger outturn. Ahead of this release, German and French GDP will provide the markets with a better guide. However, these figures will draw additional interest due to the likely stark divergence in performance between the largest two euro area countries. We forecast German GDP growth at a robust 0.7%, with French GDP close to unchanged. The challenging outlook facing France may help explain the strong vocal political desire for a weaker euro. Euro area April inflation is forecast to be confirmed at 0.7%, but any change would fan further speculation of likely ECB action.

USD/JPY - 101.78
Japan EconMin Amari says 'exports weaker than expected reflecting emerging market economies, uncertainty over Chinese growth.' and "Japan's economy making steady progress towards beating deflation; consumption showing some weak moves after sales tax hike but moves are temporary and within expectations; hopes private consumption will pick up gradually in line with improvement in job conditions; expects firm domestic demand-led recovery to continue in the current fiscal year."
U.S. dollar fell to 101.67 against the Japanese yen after Amari's comments.
