Wall Street Today (S&P 500) (Nasdaq): Risk on, risk off, the reality is that not all pivots are positive

This is what you need to know to trade today Thursday September 29:

Up, down, repeat. Wednesday’s optimism was quickly reversed on Thursday as investors realized that the next turn will be for very bad news. It’s a turnaround that will only happen if the economy is a total mess or if we’re close to another Lehman moment. The Bank of England averted a Lehman moment in its pension sector and rushed to bail out Gilt positions. If the Federal Reserve changes, it will be for a similar, almost disastrous reason. That doesn’t sound so good to me for risk assets, even though they pivoted on Wednesday. On Thursday, reality resumes and risk assets slide back down while the dollar rises again.

There is talk of intervention again with news that China has told local banks to be prepared. These are really interesting times: first the Bank of Japan, then the Bank of England, and now China. Who will be next? Thursday’s data is not exactly comforting. The final readings are nothing more than revisions to previous data, but the general theme is that the labor market is strong, US inflation is sticky. However, the latter is high in the services sector, not in the goods sector. Services inflation usually lasts much longer.

Dollar rises back to 113. Oil also holds at $82.60 as Nordstream talks keep energy higher, and gold dips to $1,655. Bitcoin drops to $19,300.

European markets down:

  • Eurostoxx: -1.7%
  • FTSE: -1.7%
  • Dax: -1.8%

US futures also down:

  • S&P 500: -1.1%
  • DowJones: -1.2%
  • Nasdaq: -1.5%
