Market Sentiment Has Never Been Worse And Everyone Is Hedging For A Crash Back in 2007, Jim Cramer famously screamed at Erin Burnett that the Fed "has no idea how bad it is out there They know Nothing!" Today''s market would agree with Cramer. While stocks have been hammered by a relentless, furious pounding for much of 2022 which culminated today with the S&P officially entering a 10% correction from its all time highs... ... a better look at market sentiment comes from the latest AAII bull minus bear index, which shows that trader sentiment has rarely been worse. The latest Morgan Stanley Prime Brokerage report (available to professional subscribers ) showed just how broken bullish sentiment has become. According to the bank''s PB group, in the last week, net leverage across long/short funds had fallen to just 48%, the lowest level seen since June 2020, as hedge funds piled into shorts. As the bank further details, last week''s selling "was largely concentrated within N. America, though HFs did also skew towards selling EU equities as well.

Jim Bianco: Will Dems Push For Price Controls If Fed "Policy Error" Leads To Runaway Inflation? With Americans temporarily distracted by the drama in Ukraine, traders are losing sight of the real driving force behind markets: the Fed, and it''s sluggish approach to normalizing monetary policy. Just a few days ago, we shared research from Fed repo oracle Zoltan Poszar, who proclaimed that the central bank will need to crash markets to save the economy. Now, another Fed expert, Jim Bianco of Bianco Research, joins Erik Townsend to discuss the nature of Jerome Powell''s current predicament, along with a handful of other topics like the impact of the COVID lockdown on America''s working habits. One factor recently contributing to inflation is the fact that Wall Street banks are doling out massive raises to coax their most valuable workers back to the office. When pressed about Wall Street''s obsession with returning to the office, Bianco explains that banks like JP Morgan and Goldman Sachs are demanding employees return to the office because "executives" and "MD types" really like the office.

How Markets Tank & Gold Rises Authored by Matthew Piepenburg via GoldSwitzerland.com, Critical warning signs from the credit and rates markets are being ignored by tough-talking experts while gold bides its time before it rises in a global financial crisis mathematically too sick to save . It is fascinating to watch market pundits, policy makers, commercial bankers and other media-supported experts talk tough on the need to fight inflation via rate hikes and central bank balance sheet cuts. In fact, such chest-puffing would be comical if not otherwise so tragic. The current war cries to battle persistent rather than transitory inflation (of which we warned a year ago ) amount to far too little, far too late. Like the science behind mask or no mask, last years omni-changing Fed narrative as to temporary or long-term inflation was a theater of incompetency bordering upon dishonesty, as inflation was as plain to foresee as the rising money supply . Today, a similar tragi-comedy of open confusion and equally open hypocrisy about tough vs. accommodative (or hawkish vs. dovish) central banking is all the rage.

More Senior Bankers Implicated In Leaks About Federal "Block Trading" Probe Following reports earlier this week that several big-name short sellers had their offices raided by federal agents as part of an SEC/DoJ investigation into "spoofing,""scalping" and illegal short-selling, more senior bankers are being outed as targets in the other ongoing SEC/DoJ probe targeting big name banks and hedge funds: that is, the investigation into "block trading" which - as it turns out - does involve the market-moving block trades that resulted from the Archegos collapse. A team of Bloomberg reporters revealed on Friday that in addition to Morgan Stanley executive Pawan Passi, a number of other senior bankers who were found to be among Passi''s "frequent contacts" are also having their communications examined with a fine-toothed comb by a team of federal investigators.
