FOMC Minutes:

"The manager noted that, although the pace of Treasury purchases would likely continue into the second quarter, the rate of expansion in the Federal Reserve’s balance sheet would moderate during the first half of 2020 as repo outstanding was gradually reduced."

In other words, the hope is that after the second quarter, balance sheet growth will be purely “organic” and not driven by the need to replenish scarce liquidity or reserves, and certainly not by any desire to deliberately compress risk premia in the course of encouraging speculation and underwriting the short vol. trade in all its various manifestations.

The FED is well aware market indicators expect a high probability of two rate cuts in 2020...but FOMC Missionaries are already out & about stating the the same ole lines but stating at current macro data...they do not see any need to cut further...TBD, at some point the BondKings will not like this...TBD!

Note

The last time this type of steepening in markets and USD...this did not end well in 2018...Let's see what happens!

I will LMFAO off if the "MarketFookinFookSticks" are waiting till "SuperTuesday" and "FeelDaBern" wins and the next day markets tank...TBD!

When I look at these markets I see nothing but really unusually fast ROC/Steepening and Gaps are EveryFookinWhere...Not Healthy! What do I know...worth about two cents...Adapt or Die! Cheers!

Note

3390 held strong today as the market closes a bit higher. 3375 was the battleground w/overhead calls like 3400 & 3500. ZeroG @ 3270/PutWall@3100/CallWall@3400.

FookinGamma levels should maintain, w/things shifting tomorrow afternoon into Fridays OPEX.

Over the past 2 weeks, options traders spent more than $16 billion buying speculative calls.

That's 60% more than any other 2-week period since 2000.

Maybe this is a nothing-matters-forever kind of market, but holy moly.
