Futures show the chaos a little better – Friday’s melt-up, numerous v-shaped recoveries this week as dip-buyers crambled back in… and then today!
And today was a bloodbath for stocks…

Year-to-Date, Trannies and Small Caps have given up most of their gains…
Retailers and Energy stocks were the big laggards but everything was whacked with banks tumbling today despite soaring rates and steepening curves…
VIX spiked to its highest since the election today…
Risk-Parity fund deleveraging was triggered again (with bonds and stocks down hard)…
Risk-Parity funds had their worst day since May 2017 today…
It appears the bond spike has spooked stocks…
In fact this is the worst day for aggregate losses in bonds and stocks since September 2016…
Bonds bloodbath’d on the day and week…
30Y Yields were within a tick or two of 3.10% this week…
The yield curve steepened notably on the week
And debt ceiling anxiety is back as the Bill curve inverts…
The Dollar Index managed its first weekly gain of the year, but remains well below the Trump rescue highs…
In commodity-land, everything was red on the week with silver getting monkey-hammered today…
Silver is back at 6-week lows..
Finally, there was carnage in cryptocurrencies this week, with a modest rescue today.
This was the worst week for Bitcoin since January 2015, back below $9,000…
