Markets Turmoil As Easing Omicron Anxiety Battles Surge In ''Technical Default'' Fear Markets everywhere... are turmoiling. Volatilities across every asset-class are spiking higher as the Powell-Put gets restruck lower... Source: Bloomberg You can''t un-cut the rope Jay!! A very technical buying panic to start the day but news that a second Omicron variant carrier had been found in the US (Minnesota, but traveled to NYC) initially sent stocks lower but once again he was said to have had only mild symptoms and was fully recovered. That sparked a serious relief rally (back above the technical levels). Late in the day a third Omicron case was reported in Colorado, stonks didn''t care until the last 5 minutes. This was Russell 2000''s best day since March until that last few minutes... The battle took place around S&P ~50DMA, Dow ~200DMA, and Nasdaq ~50DMA (Small Caps are well below their 50, 100, and 200DMA)... In case you were wondering why the sudden panic-surge today, Goldman has a clue: " The GS Prime book was heavily net sold to start December (largest 1-day $ net selling since September, -2.5 SDs vs. the average daily net flow of the past year) , driven by continued short sales and to a much lesser extent long sales (9 to 1) " Today was the biggest short-squeeze since the start of November...

Top Cannabis Stocks For Current Market Volatility Are you looking for a different way to invest in top marijuana stocks right now? This weeks increased volatility caused by the Omicron variant could be a good opportunity for active traders. As the cannabis sector continues to trade near its lowest value in 2021 the continued delays in the Senate to end cannabis prohibition is threatening to last into next year. This could continue to affect how pot stocks recover from these declines. Some of the most volatile cannabis stocks to watch are marijuana penny stocks. For those not familiar with penny stocks these are any stocks that trade under $5 in the market. Considered a high-risk area of the market these stocks have seen the most gains in 2021 and the steepest declines. Some of the most active cannabis penny stocks have been those attached to Canadian LPs. In general, leading Canadian cannabis companies have much to gain from entry into the US market. This could be why they have seen the most volatile price swings with the delays in federal cannabis reform.

Albert Edwards: Here''s Why The FAANGs Will End Up Sinking Like The BRICs While US equity indexes have been relatively stable despite the recent spike in volatility, what is going below the surface is sheer turmoil. Take the Nasdaq: while the index remains just shy of all time highs, this is entirely thanks to the five or so gigacaps, the GAMMA (fka FAAMG) stocks, which has found solid support in recent days. Alas, the same can not be said for the rest of the tech-heavy Nasdaq where as the chart below shows, we have just seek the biggest spike in new 52-week lows since the March 2020 crash. This, when coupled with the recent bloodbath observed in the median stock (as measured by the Value Line Geometric), is why yesterday we rhetorically noted that "they better not start selling the generals" or else everything will come crashing down. They better not start selling the generals pic.twitter.com/3RHZsrn4QI — zerohedge (@zerohedge) December 1, 2021 So cue SocGen''s in house grizzly bear, Albert Edwards, who - never lacking for a scenario which ends in fire and brimstone - writes this morning that hope is not a strategy and that unfortunately for the bulls, " FAANGs will end up sinking like a BRIC ." Reminding his readers that Inflation and Covid remain the main focus of the markets (they hardly need reminding in light of the explosion in vol in the past week), Edwards said that he feels compelled "to flag up two important BRIC-related anniversaries that might be relevant for the dominant FAANG stocks." First, the SocGen strategist notes that it is the 20th anniversary of the invention of the BRIC acronym. (BRICs, for those who need reminding, was dreamed up by Goldman''s former Chief Economist, Jim (now Lord) O’Neil, who predicted that the emerging economies of Brazil, Russia, India and China would enjoy superior economic growth and investment returns relative to the developed economies.

NEW YORK: Wall Street stocks generally climbed early Thursday as the market tried to shrug off two straight losing sessions on worries about Covid-19 and shifting monetary policy. But the Nasdaq faltered and analysts cautioned that the early gains were on shaky ground, noting Tuesday''s rout was followed by an early rally Wednesday that fizzled after US health authorities reported the first case of the Omicron variant of Covid-19 in the country. "The market is struggling to know what to do about the Omicron variant at this point," said Gregori Volokhine of Meeschaert Financial Services. About an hour into trading, the Dow Jones Industrial Average was at 34,330.20, up 0.9 percent. The broad-based S&P 500 advanced 0.5 percent to 4,534.39, while the tech-rich Nasdaq Composite Index declined 0.4 percent to 15,197.52.

S&P, Nasdaq Fail At Key Technical Support As Nomura Fears Fed Accelerating Shift From ''Slowdown'' To ''Contraction'' This morning''s melt-up from the cash open was extremely technical, lifting the US majors above various key technical levels. However, that surge of buying did not last long and now the S&P (back below its 50DMA), Nasdaq (back below its 50DMA), and Dow (back at 200DMA) are all fading fast So what really changed? Nomura''s Charlie McElligott explains: Its pretty obvious: the Fed has green-lighted an accelerated taper in order to pull-forward a dense-but-short lift-off, as Jerome Powell is clearly now much more concerned about inflation (which is no longer transitory) than about economic growth And Nomura''s "Economic Quadrant" playbook highlights the fact that the current Equities risk-premium / thematic return profile very closely mirrors what they said it would do upon this the phase shift from Expansion into Slowdown being confirmed in the first week of October (and holding since)...
