It is been touted as the best January for stocks since 1984, the pundits have propagated that a good January equates to a great year. Economists were pleasantly surprised by the ray of white light amidst the previously perceived calamity as economic data releases were presented on a silver platter this week with beat after beat and preposterous upwardly revisions probably conjured through an abacus. Financial markets were so stoked by central bank posturing and the economic data beats that the Dow...

I have focused way too much of the West and have somehow neglected Asia's markets and economies. The world tends to undermine the contagion linkages Asia (notably China, Japan, Korea, and India) have on global markets. Two-thirds of the world's population in in Asia but it accounts for much less than half of global GDP because currencies here are relatively undervalued; economies are in their development phases where volume of production is more important than...

Now today's commute will be even messier and sporadic than yesterday's. I've only got a short time to compose today's update on yesterday's news flow and some much needed commentary on the markets/earnings which are currently suffering from some serious cognitive dissonance on whether to rally. I'm forcing myself to keep it succinct, for real this time... But its hard with lots of Econ data today.

Today's commute will be more of a rant than anything else. Enough is enough, the markets have won over the vigilantes once again.
Personally, the most notable event yesterday (during the US session on Tuesday) was the epic compression in front month implied volatility and the 0.56% ramp in the S&P 500 on absolutely nothing. The mercury measuring insanity has reached a new record as we saw a unilateral bid-a-thon on equities once Europe...

The biggest news to hit today (Monday night in NY) was without doubt the much anticipated monetary easing of the BoJ at 2245 EST. The BoJ has decided to purchase ¥10trn ($111bn) in Japanese T-bills and ¥2trn ($22.2bn) in JGBs per month starting 1/2014 for a total monthly monetization amount of roughly ¥13trn ($144bn). The revamped LSAP will be open-ended while the BoJ doubled down on targeting a 2% inflation rate; in other words it will not terminate the tidal...
