S&P Pushes into Positive Territory for 2016; Bonds Continue to Advance Higher

As market participants splash around the market, yields continue to collapse–because the Fed is only going to hike rates by 100% over the next 8 months.

This is risk aversion.

The S&P 500 has erased all of its early 2016 losses and now relish in the black. Crude oil has formed a bridgehead at $40, which poses as a significant annoyance to those whom are short. Fundamental concerns aren’t abated at $40 crude; but the market is bidding up oil stocks anyway.

Seeing a great divergence between reality and perception, I doubled my XLE short today, with a basis of $63.32.

    I guess the market only cares about oil now. No more loan defaults with higher prices? Who cares that the 10-year is flashing no growth.

    We are on the same page. I sold my GLD puts at quite a loss today. Risk aversion seems to be on the doorstep.
