"Increased expectations for additional liquidity provisions from the ECB after eurozone unemployment (12.2% actual, 12.0% expected) and CPI (0.7% actual, 1.1% forecast) disappoint."

Rather dovish going forward, means really no compelling reason to move out of equities right now. European bond yields all down.
(I think 2014, before mid year, will see a pretty substantial correction in equities, given the games the FED and Abe of Japan are
playing).

Better than expected US Service Industry numbers yesterday raised fears again of tapering starting sooner than expected leaving Dow @ -0.14%, S&P -0.28% and Nasdaq +0.09%.

ALSI made yet another all time high 45,750 & T40 also all time high @ 40,929, mostly due to the rand (down more than 1%) driving resource stocks. 

Asian stock markets started mixed earlier this morning, morphed to mostly green.

Gold 1313, WTI Crude 94, US futures green atm.

New highs for BIL, CML, SAB, MON.

Good news is bad news in a mixed-up, muddled-up, shook-up world.

S&P -1.3% (biggest lost since 27 Aug), Dow -0.97%, (biggest lost since 8 Oct) & Nasdaq -1.9%.  All this after a bombshell interest rate cut in Europe yesterday & better than expected US 3rd-Q GDP which equates to tapering likely to start sooner than expected.

Asia down passionately for the same reason, gold 1310, crude 94, T40 -239 atm.

15:30 US Nonfarm & Unemployment rate
22:30 US Bernanke

New highs for Omnia, Tsogo, Billiton, SAB

Consensus to ‘buy’ for BIL, TRU.

And Foschni’s plan to double its presence in Africa over next 5 years, not going down well with -8.11% drop yesterday.

A healthy 6-8% correction was due soon anyway. Hope this is it so it can get done and over.  :TU:

Very stong jobs numbers ..

The S&P 500 futures and Treasuries tumbled to their lows in reaction to a better-than-expected October jobs report. The S&P 500 futures trade lower by 0.4% while the 10-yr yield is higher by 11 basis points at 2.72%.

October nonfarm payrolls came in at 204K versus the 100K expected by the Briefing.com consensus. Nonfarm private payrolls added 212K against the 110K consensus. The unemployment rate ticked up to 7.3%, as expected by the Briefing.com consensus.

Hourly earnings ticked up 0.1% while the Briefing.com consensus expected an increase of 0.2%. Average workweek was reported at 34.4, in-line with the consensus expectations.

September personal income rose 0.5%, above the increase of 0.2% expected by the Briefing.com consensus. Meanwhile, personal spending rose 0.2%, in-line with the Briefing.com consensus.

Lastly, core PCE prices ticked up 0.1%, as expected.



SRC= Nasdaq.

Tapering more likely to occur earlier than April 2014. Before end Jan. 2014 probably.

Now the markets are totally screwed up. US going strong with the great results. Technicals were in overbought and overvalued region and now increasing. Thought the good news will tank markets but they going up. WTF is going on? QE to end sooner should have prevailed and tanked the US by now.

You are right in your thinking, but the feeling now is that the economy is strong enough to withstand tapering ..

Quote
Equity futures initially erased earlier gains after a Labor Department report showed payrolls in the U.S. increased more than forecast in October. After a report yesterday showed third-quarter gross domestic product grew faster than yesterday, today’s data fueled speculation the Fed will cut stimulus sooner than expected.

The contracts then reversed their losses as investors considered whether the signs of strengthening growth is evidence that the world’s largest economy can withstand less Fed support.
