Interestingly Janet's FED seems to follow BIS' edict that says "It is essential to move away from debt as the main engine of growth" i.e cut printing. This is antithetical to everything that state-backed CB fiat (printable money) system is all about: no limit to printing and no check on spending, on power, on control or accountability.
I am curious to see what topic Janet chooses to tackle.

VIX-Manipulating HFT Algo
Reply
We have previously noted the odd 'dark pool' manipulation we suspected was occurring in VIX derivatives...
And now Nanex exposes the "odd-lot" algo that appears to have been forced into the light...
There is a new High Frequency Trading (HFT) Algo afoot, probably designed to measure, or cause system latency. This algo sends extreme bursts of 1-share orders in a symbol to two different exchanges: Nasdaq and BATS.
The result is a system-impacting surge of quote updates, similar to quote stuffing, but accompanied by an extremely high number of 1-share trade executions. These trade executions often consume the entire SIP output line, as indicated by continuous sequence numbers with no gaps.
The Bottom Line...
1) On days when the VIX has been slammed notably lower, we have seen more than coincidentally massive after-hours volume spikes in VXX and TVIX (where manipulators can hide their actions)
2) This is the footprint of dark pools flushing their orders to the public markets
3) Since June 26th (when Barclays was hit by the Dark pool probe), a 'new' algo has appeared in TVIX
4) Today's major algo manipulation (above) and plunge in VIX suggest the dark pool rigging is in the open more transparent public markets now...

DJIA and S$P close at record highs. Fund managers are redeploying funds for the new quarter and new half-year.
The first major test could be U.S. payrolls on Thursday. I don't see the ECB decision as a major event for U.S. markets although the two will be simultaneous events. As for the ECB, it is probably too early to assess the impact of their June policy easing. Ido see the RISK that Draghi might try to jawbone the EUR weaker again, the problem is this could become counter=productive if the currency does not respond.

When we reported yesterday's record reverse-repo surge, driven entirely by collateral-strapped financial entities scrambling to "window dress" their balance sheets for regulatory purposes, we said "Expect total reverse repo usage tomorrow to plunge by at least $150 billion as the banks will have fooled their regulator, which also happens to be the Fed, that they are safe and sound.
Moments ago the Fed reported the daily reverse repo use. It turns out we were optimistic: it wasn't $150 billion, it was $189 billion. Following yesterday's $339 billion allottment, today this number tumbled to just $151 billion, meaing nearly $200 billion in fungible cash had to quick find a new home away from the Fed.
Which, incidentally explains where the relentless buying in today's market is coming from: today the Fed just released liquidity for two months worth of POMO in one day - money which promptly had to find a parking spot until the next quarter end when the same window dressing exercise is repeated and which will continue to go on completely unnoticed by regulators.

following the current trend the high could have come in anywhere from 13650-13750. anytime we do more than 50% the chance is we will explore further upside so the region between 13730-50 becomes key. it will need something hawkish out of the ecb or dovish from the fed, or some poor data from the US to take us above those resistance, in which case youd need to look to 138.
cable closing above res at 17120 makes 17337 more likely but equally likely, given that there has been no pullback, that 17337 marks a multi week high, being 50% of 1.35-2.12. take note that cable has barely traded in junes range (applies to euro also to a lesser degree) and this will likely be corrected by the end of the month, so on no pullback to at least 1.70, a top at 17337 if reached looks like on a medium term basis.

GM recalls more cars in 6 months than it sold in last 3 years combined ..
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
GM sold more cars in June 2014 than any other June since 2007. Just imagine if GM had killed more people, recalled more cars, been busted for more lies, and had more congressional hearings. As GM's head of sales exudes, this was "the third very strong month in a row for GM... in fact, the first half of the year was our best retail sales performance since 2008, driven by an outstanding second quarter."
We can only imagine the depths of FICO scores, terms of financing, and margin-crushing incentivization that dealers were subsidized into offering to sell this many 'kevorkianesque rolling sarcophagus." How did they do this? Government (+14%) and Rentals (+48%) - sound sustainable?

Lew says China's currency is undervalued
WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) -- Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew on Tuesday said that China's currency remains undervalued. U.S. and Chinese officials will discuss economic issues at an annual Strategic and Economic dialogue meeting in Beijing next week. In a preview of the talks at the U.S.-China Business Council, Lew said progress on bilateral issues had been "mixed" over the past year. He said China seemed to follow a path of "two steps forward and part of a step back" on the exchange rate. Although the yuan has appreciated by 14% since 2010, it "still needs to appreciate more, it is undervalued," Lew said. There are concerns that China is holding down the value of its currency to give it an advantage over U.S. exporters. Lew said there was "pretty clear" evidence that China was intervening to weaken the yuan. He called for China to be more transparent about its exchange rate policy.

Buying US treasuries ?
Over the last six months Belgium has started to behave eccentrically, even by Belgian standards. No, the small country of 11 million has not decided to stop making chocolate or waffles. It has decided to increase its buying of U.S. Treasury bonds...in a very big way. According to latest U.S. Treasury Department data, since August of 2013 entities in Belgium have purchased and held a stunning $215 billion of U.S. Treasuries. This figure is equivalent to about half the country's annual GDP, and equates to almost $20,000 for every living Belgian. Prior to that time, Belgium had held its cache fairly steady at around $170-$190 billion. But by March, that total had increased by almost 130% (to $381 billion) in just seven months. The purchases represented 61% of the total increase in foreign holdings of U.S. Treasuries over that time frame. Given the fact that Belgium, as of last September, had less than 3% of the Treasury bonds held by foreign sources, this is strange behavior indeed.

The USD Index - Under Pressure
Reply
"The looting of Europe by Wall Street has gone beyond Greece, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Ireland and Ukraine, and is now focused on France and Great Britain. The American authorities are demanding $10 billion from France’s largest bank on a trumped-up charge of financing trade with Iran, as if it is any business whatsoever of Washington’s who French banks choose to finance. And despite Great Britain’s total subservience to Washington, Barclays bank has a civil fraud suit filed against it by the NY State Attorney General."
The plan seems clear. But 10 billion here or there will not be enough if the massive capital inflows from the rest of the world into the United States are not resumed. The USD index thus remains a good gauge of future U.S. economic activity and it's under pressure right now.

The big view

A currency isn’t the stock price of a country. Many people assume that when a country’s economic fundamentals improve, the currency should appreciate. That’s probably based on the idea that a currency is like a stock. When a company’s results increase, usually the stock price goes up. The same thing should happen with a country. But it’s not necessarily true, and we saw that overnight with USD. The economic news was as usual favorable, but that didn’t matter to the market. Pending home sales for May were much much higher than expected -- +6.1% mom instead of the market consensus of +1.5%, and far higher than +0.4% in April. This suggests that the economy is indeed recovering from the disappointing first quarter, and that GDP will be higher in Q2 than in Q1, because housing sales add to GDP (real estate brokers’ commissions and all that). The Chicago PMI disappointed but the three-month average is still the highest for several years and the details were solid. Meanwhile the Dallas Fed manufacturing survey was better than expected. There was also a speech by San Francisco Fed President Williams, who said he expected GDP to run around 3% for the rest of the year, a fairly healthy pace, and for the unemployment rate to hit 6% by the end of the year. Yet bond yields declined by 1 or 2 bps, as did the implied interest rate on Fed Funds futures, and the dollar weakened against most of the G10 currencies. Month-end buying may have been responsible; we’ll have to see whether any of the move is reversed over the coming week.

"American troops from the United States will be dispatched to Europe starting in October to help respond to Russian aggression in Ukraine"
Russian aggression? You mean the VOTE. A vote in Crimea is now classified as aggression. Oh right. This insanity continues.
This particular 'conflict' is likely to have a negative impact on European business though American business is reportedly not pleased. "The poor US economic outlook has brought America’s two largest business lobbies–the US Chamber of Commerce and the National Association of Manufacturers (or what is left of them) into conflict with the Obama regime’s threat of further sanctions against Russia.
According to Bloomberg News, beginning tomorrow (June 26), the business groups will run advertisements in the New York Times, Wall St Journal, and Washington Post opposing any further sanctions on Russia. The US business organizations say that the sanctions will harm their profits and result in layoffs of American workers."
Any chance of stopping the chinless deviants?

Oh come on. Reverse repos are nothing new. That is how the FED when it was not quite so transparent used to signal a tightening of some degree hence why in the good ole days we had FED watchers for they were meant to be the elite economists that could interpret into plain English what the FED was doing.
They just haven't used them for a while and all the new boys think they invented something
in simplistic plain language:
A repo is granting liquidity a reverse repo is withdrawing liquidity. Simple eh..

Today's RevRepo...Window Day

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The Fed has many tools in its arsenal and one of which are reverse repos which are confusing to most and even more difficult to explain to the public.
The Fed’s own description reads as follows: “When the Desk conducts an overnight RRP, it is selling an asset held in the System Open Market Account (SOMA) with an agreement to buy it back on the next business day. This leaves the SOMA portfolio the same size, but shifts a liability on the Federal Reserve’s balance sheet from “deposits” to a reverse repo while the trade is outstanding.” Got that?
Some are pointing out that RRPs have been affected quarter end equity prices, perhaps not so coincidentally, at the same time. The Fed has been doing these reverse repos since quarter end December 2013. The effects on markets are clear:

Quotes from Danske Bank:
-In Japan focus this week will mainly be on the release of the Tankan business survey for Q2 released by Bank of Japan (BoJ). We expect the Tankan business survey to show a sharp deterioration in current conditions in Q2 for both large manufacturers and non-manufacturers, underscoring that the Japanese economy probably contracted in Q2 in the wake of the consumption tax hike in April.
-On the other hand, we expect to see an improvement in future conditions, suggesting that Japan will return to moderate growth in Q3. This increases the likelihood that BoJ will not announce additional easing in 2014. Industrial production for May will also be released this week.
-We expect industrial production to have increased slightly by 0.2% m/m on the back of a 2.8% m/m drop in April. The development in industrial production also suggests that GDP is poised to contract in Q2 and so far there are no signs of a substantial rebound in Q3. In general, hard data currently paints a weaker picture of the Japanese economy than business surveys.
