UNLOCK OFFERHere is what you need to know on Monday, December 6:
Equity markets look set to start the week on a positively nervous note as investors look for more information on the omicron variant. We do feel the market reaction to omicron is overdone, markets needed a correction, omicron just provided the excuse. Tech remains highly elevated and therefore highly risky in the current environment. Risk assets remain exactly that as witnessed by Bitcoin over the weekend. $40,000 just about held and the bounce is on but for how long? Powell punched a hole in transitory and tapering last week and added to Vix elevation. The Fed is likely to remain on course to now complete its tapering by early Q2 2022, nearly a full quarter ahead of prior expectations. This one in particular has got equity markets in a tailspin. We have noted the strong correlation between the Fed balance sheet and the S&P 500 before so can this correlation end peacefully? We wait with bated breath but certainly, the yield curve flattening is not a positive.
The dollar is a touch stronger this morning as currency safe havens lose ground. Eurodollar is 1.1292 now. Oil is 3% higher at $68.32 and Gold steady at $1778. Bitcoin was anything but steady over the weekend but is now back to $48,500.
