Mkt Fag: Muh retail sales results (earnings) don't match muh retail sales (report) #s and FRB 'digestion' excuse for today's low volume sell-off-edition

Still very orderly and careful to NOT trip the breakers because once that habbens all the normies get alerted and they panic-No puking or Panic …yet-they can't sell this off hard the way they want to. This is still nothing-only looks bad because of muh 4 digt loss on the DOW- it would be much worse if there was depth of book…there isn't so it's Mexican stand-off time. Trapped and stuck holding levered shit they can't get rid off. Sucks to be you! on the biggest drop in two years.

Some shit going on: the Biden administration is poised to fully block Russia’s ability to pay US bondholders after a deadline expires next week, a move that could bring Moscow closer to a default. Sri Lanka, meantime, is on the brink of reneging on $12.6 billion of overseas bonds-they say reneging but there is a solution…(((they))) just don't like it-see below under some thangz. Three retailer components are accounting shaving about 172 points off the Dow's price in midday trading Wednesday Target's disappointing earnings report. Walmart continues it's decline and of Walgreens Boots Alliance WBA to pace the 28 of 30 Dow components that were losing ground, while Home Depot Inc.'s stock HD to be the fourth-worst performer. '''But since the Dow is a price-weighted index, the Home Depot's stock was the biggest drag, . See here for WMT, TGT and HD at just before 1pm est >>16298421, >>16298442 pb

>>16299217, >>16299233 pb Dow transports suffer unanimous selloff toward a 14-month low-Target Warns Of $1 Billion In Incremental Freight Costs

The orderly 'massacre' continues as we are now with 4 digit loss on the DOW but across all indices the volume(s) suck -see below about the hedgies unable to do much-as every time they do..well you see the result(s). TGT and WMT are a bloodbath this week (-29% and -17% respectively in the last two days - worst drops since 1987) The VIX will need ta be 'managed' with it's performance today-paging the FRB Trading desks at Chicago and New York-yes they have them in case you din't know-the later for decades the former just set up late last year.

Sovereign Wealth Funds

Next up on the wheel of Equity melt-down fun is all the Sovereign Wealth Funds that loaded up on Tech stocks over the last several years will need to report soon… Sweden, Norway (especially them-owns 1.03% of Apple's shares, making it the company's eighth largest shareholder) gonna get hit HARD cause they went in Apple (and many others) LARGE and it's weight was adjusted in the NAS price index -so an example of it really hurting on the way down but helped a lot on the way up. Apple has gone from $178 to where it is now at $140.xx since March 29th. https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/AAPL

Moar 'disappointing' earnings "results"-see above- that do not match the retail sales #s they produced yesterday-funny that. Plus they are STILL digesting muh FRB inflation shit-you knew all this in February but Fin MSM has to come up with something to counter no book depth and every major hedge fund has it's finger on the trigger but can't do anything about it-see #1 from yesterdays report >>16293477 pb and cap# 3 from >>16286692 pb for the reality of why they are 'nervous'- that is what these Hedgies are doing cause they know that if they try to slip something in it will tank everything (that is IF it is even allowed). If it is allowed then the "fat-finger" excuse will be trotted out shortly after -see Nordic exchanges result on a bank holiday and they used the fat finger excuse on that one. With todays redundancies and HFT control that is NOT going to habben-but it still works or they wouldn't use it. That23on the SP500 closing print yesterday told ya-see cap #2 of yesterdays report. The S&P lost its 4,000 pin once again. At Europes close (11:30am EST) this is what it looks like: SP500 -110.72(-2.71%) DOW 735.57(-2.25%) NAS 372.35(-3.11%) RUT –34.11(-1.85%)'''

Trading Halts-same shit different day..everything from yesterday erased and only toady 0518 is shown. VEDU 2.13-12.87 (-51.48%) on it's 6th halt at Europes close and it IPO'd yesterday-kek. They can't help themselves trying to shove shit out the door-Paging Gary Gensler, Melissa Hodgman, FINRA..anyone?!-you supposed to have lock-ups on these but doesn't look like those are being observed. The folly of a self-policing system. BGXX also halted15 times at last countby 11:30amest -Bright Green Corporation (“Bright Green”), one of the very few companies selected by the U.S. government to grow, manufacture, and sell, legally under federal and state laws-that also IPO'd yesterday too-healthy functioning markets here…/s

It just kept going with those two VEDU and BGXX..halt after halt. That just creates a feedback loop.

Treasury complexSee Cap #3 Overnight session for 10 yr was flat , same for 30yr, On our open Treasuries rose across the board, sending the 10-year Treasury yield 6 basis points lower. bond yields crashed with the long-end outperforming (30Y -11bps, 2Y -3bps) signaling "growth scare" fears are rising (and thus stagflation… globally). 10Y tested 3.00% again and plunged (dark blue line in Cap#3) which naturally (cough not really) the yield curve flattened dramatically.
