Dow Soars To Best January Since 1997, Bonds’ Worst Start In 25 Years

January summed up… Bonds worst January since 1992… Dow’s best January since 1997… Dollar’s worst January since 1987…

Phew… that was quite a month…

Records busted everywhere…

And the S&P is now on a 15-month win-streak (never happened before) and is up for 22 of the last 23 months – since The Shanghai Accord in Feb 2016!!

But the month ended ugly with the last few days setting up for the S&P’s worst weekly loss since 11/4/16 (the week before the election)…

Shrinkage & The Fed’s Balance Sheet Promises

Authored by Kevin Muir via The Macro Tourist blog,

Remember all the hullabaloo back in September about the Federal Reserve’s decision to shrink their balance sheet? Believe it or not, it was somewhat of a big deal and many strategists were warning about the lack of support for risk markets from this action.

Here is the actual announcement from the FOMC’s press release:

Effective in October 2017, the Committee directs the Desk to roll over at auction the amount of principal payments from the Federal Reserve’s holdings of Treasury securities maturing during each calendar month that exceeds $6 billion, and to reinvest in agency mortgage-backed securities the amount of principal payments from the Federal Reserve’s holdings of agency debt and agency mortgage-backed securities received during each calendar month that exceeds $4 billion. Small deviations from these amounts for operational reasons are acceptable.

At the time I wasn’t too fussed about the action as reducing a $4.4 trillion balance sheet by $10 billion a month didn’t seem all that important.

But $10 billion is just a start. The Fed’s goal is to eventually reach $50 billion a month, with the program ending in 2020 having hopefully shrunk the balance sheet to $3 trillion.

N …

It’s Back: “January Was The Most Volatile Month Since The Election”

If it seems like it was just two days ago that Goldman was writing about a Great-er moderation, and showing a chart of macro volatility – across virtually everything, not just stocks – reaching V-fib levels, it’s because it was.

A lot has happened inbetween, most notably that volatility which just on Sunday night was left for dead, has made a stunning comeback, leading to another note published overnight by Goldman which breaks dramatically with the previous one, pointing out that not only did the S&P just have two consecutive 50bp+ selloffs for the first time since 2016, but that – at a time when the VIX is at a 5 month high despite the near-all time high in the S&P – January has been, on a realized vol basis, the most volatile month since Nov-2016.

Below are the detailed observations from Goldman’s Rocky Fishman:

Largest drawdown in months. While hardly a sustained drawdown, the past two days’ moves mark the largest selloff since August’s 2.2% dip and the first time the SPX has sold off 50 bp or more on consecutive days since 2016 (by far the longest ever between two such events).

Adam Schiff: FISA Memo Could Lead To Firings Of Mueller, Rosenstein

Stocks are red. Trey Gowdy is abruptly retiring from Congress. Everybody is laughing at what looks like drool dribbling from the edge of Joe Kennedy’s mouth during his rebuttal to last night’s State of the Union.

And along comes Reuters, dropping a bombshell headline that, if accurate, could shift the narrative of the multiple investigations involving Russia and obstruction of justice.

Reuters quoted Adam Schiff, the top Democrat on the House Intel Committee, who believes the contents of the four-page memo about allegedly egregious FBI abuses of FISA set for public release in the next several days, could lead to the firing of Special Counsel Bob Mueller, or more likely Deputy AG Rod Rosenstein.

TOP DEMOCRAT ON U.S. HOUSE INTELLIGENCE COMMITTEE SAYS REPUBLICAN MEMO SETS STAGE FOR POSSIBLE FIRING OF SPECIAL COUNSEL MUELLER OR MORE LIKELY DEPUTY ATTORNEY GENERAL ROSENSTEIN

And:

U.S. HOUSE INTELLIGENCE COMMITTEE CHAIRMAN NUNES SAYS “NO SURPRISE” TO SEE THE FBI AND JUSTICE DEPARTMENT ISSUE “SPURIOUS OBJECTIONS” TO REPUBLICAN MEMO -STATEMENT

Now the question of course is whether this is a statement of fact – in other words the FISA memo contains cause for termination – or a smoke screen to claim that Mueller’s firing is only made possible by the “political act” that is the imminent release of the FISA memo.

* * *

In an amusing coincidence, Gowdy’s remarks from a Tuesday morning appearance on Fox & Friends now seem eerily prophetic…

REP. TREY GOWDY (R-SC): My Democratic colleagues didn’t want us to find this information. They did everything they could to keep us from finding this information. I think it will be embarrassing to Adam Schiff once p …

Will Insurers Follow Chubb’s Lead to Recovery?

Evan Greenberg, chief executive of insurance giant Chubb, is a man on a mission. For the past few months he has been pounding the table for higher pricing in property and casualty insurance to improve returns across the industry.

Boeing Flying High, But How Good Can It Get?

Boeing has been on a tremendous streak, notwithstanding a humiliating loss in a trade tariff case regarding imports of Bombardier jets. The roaring stock price, however, should give investors pause.

In the videogame business, there’s always the next battle. That works out particularly well for Electronic Arts.

Capitol Report: Trey Gowdy is joining these other House Republican committee chairmen in retiring

Rep. Trey Gowdy on Wednesday became the latest chairman of a House committee to announce he’s not seeking re-election, as the list of Republicans heading for the exits ahead of this year’s midterms gets longer.
