IU Watchlist: Main Watches: $DWAC went mid 70s AHs - I think this will have an opportunity off the open and then maybe later on I may trade it but we'll see it MAY be an avoid. As you saw today I said no edge a lot - same in lounge lots anticipating next direction the only time I felt there was edge was either after a stuff move or late day that flush into close as I wrote out for long. Otherwise quite honestly you're putting hard earned $$ after 50/50 chance. Not for me. $MARA nice entry again today - higher better watch with BTC I'm not opposed to going long in fact it's had some pretty nice rebounds but BTC would have to agree. For now I'm looking to fade the trend until crypto rebounds. $PHUN absolutely insane after hours - insane insane. Nearly $3 be careful having a crazy bias one way or other. I'd be prepared for short side if it gaps up and has a parabolic or like DWAC today if it gaps up and fades into 7-8AM + could be setting up a steady trap and I'd look for flushes vs. support for a long. Failed Follow Through: $BBIG looking for similar today +.20 gap then unwind would be ideal. Steady unwind here post all catalyst. $FCEL watch with PLUG they trade in tandem - looking left levels has worked extremely well. $8.80-8.90s has been the exhaustion spot I wish I spent a bit more time with it today pretty clean fade. $JRJC good one today ideally another shove then likely fades back - gap fill is nice but felt super forced today. Morning gap and possible fade back sub $8 $XYF higher better and fade again - nice one from scan last night. Continuation: $EAR took a few today just looking for a bit of continuation and moving on - nothing I'm crazy excited about but nice idea. Didn't position enough. $DIDI no position watching dips for possible break out. $WTRH weak open for break out $2 + is possible given this set up. $CNTX good volume today watch all dips if $5.50-5.80s flush & catch would suggest over all trend is intact.

damn i was eyeing that 47 spot

LONDON (Reuters) - Bitcoin hovered just below its record highs on Wednesday and the first U.S. bitcoin futures-based exchange-traded fund (ETF) looked set to open firmer after surging on its debut on Tuesday. The world's leading cryptocurrency was at $64,257 at 1236 GMT, modestly higher on the day and within a short jump of the all-time high of $64,895.22 it hit on April 14 this year. It reached as high as $64,499 on Tuesday, late in the U.S. session. Tuesday was the first day of trading for the ProShares Bitcoin Strategy ETF -- a development that market participants say is likely to drive investment into the digital asset. The ETF closed up 2.59% at $41.94 on Tuesday, with around $1 billion worth of shares trading hands on Intercontinental Exchange (NYSE:ICE) Inc's ICE.N Arca exchange. It was trading around 0.2% higher before the market opened. Trading appeared to be dominated by smaller investors and high-frequency trading firms, analysts said, noting the absence of large block trades indicated that institutions were likely staying on the sidelines. James Quinn, managing partner at Q9 Capital, a Hong Kong-based cryptocurrency private wealth manager, said the launch of the new product was "meaningful" for bitcoin. Theoretically, any licensed brokerage firm in the United States which wants to take on this ETF can do so as easily as any other ETF, which "should make it available to a lot of folks", said Quinn. While the ETF is based on bitcoin futures, Quinn said the trades and hedges underpinning the ETF means activity will flow into the spot market and the bitcoin price. Crypto ETFs have launched this year in Canada and Europe amid surging interest in digital assets. VanEck and Valkyrie are among fund managers pursuing U.S.-listed ETF products, although Invesco on Monday dropped its plans for a futures-based ETF. Ether, the world's no. 2 cryptocurrency, was up 1.5% on the day at $3,926, near to a six-week high, but some way off its all-time high of $4,380, hit on May 12.

definitely a good spot to start adding i agree

seems like a decent spot to start accumulating

Logistics and shipping. Seems like it might be a nice spot, sector wise considering supply issues and increased port hours

Nomura’s models suggest the market is back trading in long gamma territory vis-à-vis dealer hedging, meaning stocks should be at least somewhat insulated from large swings, barring an exogenous shock or other catalyst that sends spot careening through key strikes and triggers. “As implied resets lower, [it] incentivizes hedge monetization and the resumption of short vol flows which creates Delta to buy and gets dealers back into market stabilizing ‘long Gamma’ (and ‘long Delta’) position, as options are again sold from Overwriters / Strangle Sellers etc,” McElligott went on to say.

The good news is, positioning is cleaner. I’ve been over this before, but just to recapitulate, September’s swoon helped uncock extremely loaded systematic exposure. Now, with realized vol back on the wane, purged exposure can be rebuilt. “As rVol softens, systematic strategies are able to mechanically re-allocate on a lagged-basis, while simultaneously, the reversal in spot sees CTA Trend forced to cover nascent shorts and begin to re-lever long exposures,” Nomura’s Charlie McElligott said Monday. The simple figure (below) is just 10-day realized with Charlie’s annotations.

prob a good spot

By Chen Aizhu, Jessica Jaganathan and Scott DiSavino SINGAPORE/NEW YORK (Reuters) - Major Chinese energy companies are in advanced talks with U.S. exporters to secure long-term liquefied natural gas (LNG)supplies, as soaring gas prices and domestic power shortages heighten concerns about the country's fuel security, several sources said. At least five Chinese firms, including state major Sinopec (NYSE:SHI) Corp and China National Offshore Oil Company (CNOOC (NYSE:CEO)) and local government-backed energy distributors like Zhejiang Energy, are in discussions with U.S. exporters, mainly Cheniere Energy (NYSE:LNG) and Venture Global, the sources told Reuters. The discussions could lead to deals worth tens of billions of dollars that would mark a surge in China's LNG imports from the United States. At the height of Sino-U.S. trade war in 2019, gas trade briefly came to a standstill. Talks with U.S. suppliers began early this year but speeded up in recent months amid one of the biggest power-generating, heating fuel crunch in decades. Natural gas prices in Asia have jumped more than fivefold this year, sparking fears of power shortages in the winter. "Companies faced a supply gap (for winter) and surging prices. Talks really picked up since August when spot prices touched $15/mmbtu", said a Beijing-based senior industry source briefed on the talks. Another Beijing-based source said: "After experiencing the recent massive market volatility, some buyers were regretting that they didn't sign enough long-term supplies." Sources expected fresh deals to be announced over the coming few months, after privately controlled ENN Natural Gas Co,, headed by the ex-LNG chief of China's largest buyer, CNOOC, announced a 13-year deal with Cheniere on Monday. It was the first major U.S.-China LNG deal since 2018. The new purchases will also cement China's position as the world's top LNG buyer, taking over from Japan this year. "As state-owned enterprises, companies are all under pressure to keep security of supply and the recent price trend has deeply changed the image of long-term supplies in the mind of leadership," said the first Beijing-based trader. "People may have taken the spot (market) as the key in the past, but are now realizing that long-term cargoes are the backbone." CHEAPER U.S. GAS The sources declined to be named as the negotiations are private. Sinopec declined comment. CNOOC and Zhejiang Energy did not immediately respond to requests for comment. Venture Global declined comment. Cheniere did not immediately respond to a request for comment. "We expect more deals to be signed before year-end. It's primarily driven by the global energy crunch and prices we're seeing now... U.S. supplies now stand out as attractive," said a third Beijing source briefed on the talks. U.S. cargoes used to be expensive versus oil-linked supplies from Qatar and Australia for example, but are cheaper now. A deal at $2.50 + 115% of Henry Hub futures, similar to ENN's deal according to traders, would be roughly about $9-$10 per million British thermal units (mmBtu) on a delivered basis into Northeast Asia. This includes an average shipping cost of $2 per mmBtu for the U.S.-China route. Jason Feer, global head of business intelligence with consultancy Poten & Partners said Chinese companies are heavily exposed to Brent-related pricing for LNG and the U.S. purchases give some diversity to the pricing. Asian spot gas prices are now at a near record at over $30 per mmBtu. Long-term LNG deals linked to oil prices work out to about $10-11 per mmBtu, though both calculations vary according to liquefaction costs, premiums and assumption of forward oil and gas prices. Chinese buyers are scouting for both near-term shipments to cover demand this winter and long-term imports as demand for gas, seen by Beijing a key bridge fuel before reaching its 2060 carbon-neutral goal, is set for steady growth through 2035. It's hard to estimate a total volume of the deals being discussed, sources said, but Sinopec alone could be eyeing 4 million tonnes annually as the company is most exposed to the spot market versus domestic rivals PetroChina and CNOOC, said a third source. Traders said Sinopec is in final talks with 3 to 4 companies to buy 1 million tonnes a year for 10 years, starting from 2023, and is looking for U.S. volumes as part of the requirement. Delays in LNG export projects in Canada, in which PetroChina owns a stake, and Mozambique, where both PetroChina and CNOOC have invested, also made U.S. supplies attractive, sources added. North American LNG exporters have been adding to capacity because of demand in major Asian economies. Cheniere, the largest exporter out of the United States, said in late September it expects to announce "a number of other transactions" that will support their going forward with the Corpus Stage 3 expansion next year. Venture Global is building or developing over 50 million tonnes per annum (MTPA) of LNG production capacity in Louisiana, including the 10-MTPA Calcasieu, which is expected to cost around $4.5 billion and start producing LNG in test mode in late 2021. However, some buyers remained cautious. "There is a lot of hype in the market and nobody knows for sure how long this supply crunch would last. For companies that do not have fresh demand in the next year or two, it's better to wait," said a separate Chinese importer.

Oil prices and Treasury yields decline, while gold rises ahead of a key reading of consumer price September inflation. Futures are getting a boost after better economic data in China as September exports rose 28.1% from last year as consumer demand outpace supply chain disruptions and power shortages, while last night’s passage of a debt ceiling extension by House lawmakers puts at least one market concern to the side until early December.

U.S. stocks ended lower following a choppy session on Tuesday, with investors nervous about upcoming third-quarter earnings reports. In addition to the CPI data, the Federal Reserve will release minutes from its last policy meeting, and investors are looking for further clues on when the central bank could begin tapering its bond-buying program.

By Julie Zhu HONG KONG (Reuters) -Asian shares dropped and Treasury yields held firm on Tuesday, as a global energy crunch fuelled inflation fears and concerns about Evergrande's debt problems intensified, clouding investor sentiment before the U.S. corporate earnings season. China Evergrande Group on Tuesday missed its third round of bond coupon payments in three weeks, intensifying market fears over contagion involving other property developers as a wall of debt payment obligations come due in the near-term. Evergrande's debt troubles have sent shockwaves across global markets in recent months. European markets appeared set for a lower open with pan-regional Euro Stoxx 50 futures down 0.73% and London's FTSE futures falling 0.55%. U.S. stock futures, the S&P 500 e-minis, shed 0.33%. MSCI's broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan was down 0.9%, while Chinese stocks also fell. "Many in the market are currently in the wait-and-see mode," said Zhang Zihua, chief investment officer at Beijing Yunyi Asset Management. "Investors are eagerly watching if there will be any measures from Beijing to help solve Evergrande's debt problem, which would need comprehensive plans." Reuters reported earlier that some bondholders said they did not receive coupon payments totalling $148 million on Evergrande's April 2022, April 2023 and April 2024 notes due by 0400 GMT on Tuesday. Rivals Modern Land and Sinic Holdings also became the latest developers scrambling to delay bond payment deadlines. China's blue-chip CSI300 index fell 1.52%, while the coal sub-index dropped 3.8% amid government efforts to urge firms to increase output. In Hong Kong, the Hang Seng index fell 1.3%, dragged by tech giants. Elswhere in Asia, Australian shares slipped 0.26% while Japan's Nikkei stock index slid 0.79%. On Monday, Wall Street's main indexes ended a choppy session lower as investors grew nervous ahead of the third-quarter earnings reporting season, set to kick off with JPMorgan Chase & Co (NYSE:JPM) results on Wednesday. Some analysts expect companies to report slowing growth due to supply-chain snags and rising prices. They warned that this could lead to a drop in U.S. stocks. JPMorgan shares were down 2.1% and among the biggest drags on the S&P 500, which lost 0.69% to 4,361.19. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 0.72% while the Nasdaq Composite dropped 0.64%. After U.S. data last week showed weaker jobs growth than expected in September, the focus now shifts to inflation and retail sales numbers this week. "Economies appear to be entering a more challenging phase of the cycle and we think investors and corporates will be monitoring how the economic data and earnings results fall before making assessments of near term direction," ANZ analysts said in a note. Investors also expect the Federal Reserve to begin tightening policy by announcing a tapering of its massive bond-buying next month. The prospect of accelerating inflation and tighter monetary policy lifted bond yields. The yield on benchmark 10-year Treasury notes climbed to 1.6137% while the two-year yield also rose to 0.3499%. The dollar index, which tracks the greenback against a basket of currencies of other major trading partners, was down at 94.308. Gold, usually seen as a hedge against inflation, was slightly higher. Spot gold was traded at $1761.37 per ounce. [GOL/] Oil prices extended weeks of gains fuelled by a rebound in global demand that is contributing to energy shortages in economies from Europe to Asia. U.S. crude ticked up 0.32% to $80.78 a barrel. Brent crude rose to $83.98 per barrel.

US equities accelerated higher Thursday morning following a deal between Mitch McConnell and Democrats. The debt ceiling can was kicked to December, when it’ll be reargued. The stage is set for a possible resumption of the virtuous loop. Although at least one bank was quick to suggest that dip-buying “failed” this time around, that assertion won’t hold if stocks manage to make new highs in relatively short order. A resumption of familiar dynamics could very well get us there. McElligott on Thursday cited the “delta positive dynamics of hedge monetization, resumption of Vol selling, and downside puts going OTM” as factors which can “further feed the virtuous cycle where rVol resets lower, and leads to lagged re-allocation / re-leveraging thereafter from systematic Risk Control and Target Vol strats.” Meanwhile, call skews are back from the dead, suggesting some folks are going on offense — if tentatively and with the caveat that the usual list of downside metrics still exhibit extreme historical ranks. Speaking to the “crash-up” accelerants, Charlie wrote Thursday that the big move in spot flipped the gamma profile in SPX/SPY, or at least brought it near neutral (figure below). QQQ was “finally nearing long Gamma ‘insulation’ again” as well, with $366.52 the level to clear.

@everyone U.S. equity futures extend yesterday’s rally amid apparent progress on the debt-ceiling impasse in Washington, while in Europe, natural gas prices and power fell after Russia offered to ease Europe’s energy crisis as U.S. stocks are looking at a stronger open. Yesterday, the S&P 500 erased a -1.3% loss in its biggest reversal since February to settle modestly higher as investors grew more optimistic that congressional Democrats and Republicans could reach a deal to avert a government debt default with October 18th, the date Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen has estimated the government will run out of money and not be able to service its existing debts, if the ceiling remains in place. China markets and U.S. listed Chinese stocks (BABA, BIDU, JD) are rising as President Biden and his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping agreed to hold a virtual summit by the end of the year. Late yesterday, top U.S. Senate Republican Mitch McConnell said his party would support an extension of the federal debt ceiling into December. The offer could provide an off-ramp to a months-long standoff between President Joe Biden’s Democrats and McConnell’s Republicans, who had been expected on Wednesday to block a third attempt by Senate Democrats to raise the $28.4 trillion debt ceiling. In Asian markets, The Nikkei Index rose 149 points to 27,678, the Shanghai Index remained closed for its Golden Week holiday, and the Hang Seng Index surged 735 points, or over 3% to settle at 24,701. The picture remains bright in Europe as well with the German DAX up 175 points to 15,150 and the FTSE 100 rising 67 points or nearly 1% to 7,060.

By Alun John HONG KONG (Reuters) - Asian shares rallied on Thursday, supported by a possible easing in U.S.-China tensions, and weaker energy prices, as oil edged down from multi-year highs. U.S. and European futures also bounced with S&P 500 futures rising 0.52%, and pan-region Euro Stoxx 50 futures gaining 1.23% in early trade a day after the Euro STOXX 600 index dropped 1.03% MSCI's broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan rose 1.45%, which if it holds, would be the benchmark's best daily performance since August. Hong Kong led Asia's gains. The index rose 2.41%, bouncing from its lowest close in 12 months, and was headed towards its best day since August, though analysts remained cautious. "It's too early to say this is part of a turnaround. Today there seems to be some bottom fishing and short covering going on, and also a possible meeting between President Xi Jinping and President Joe Biden is helping the mood," said Steven Leung executive director for institutional sales at UOB Kay Hian in Hong Kong. The United States and China have agreed in principle for their presidents to hold a virtual meeting before the end of the year, a senior U.S. administration official said on Wednesday. Elsewhere, South Korea's Kospi gained 1.6%, Australian shares rose 0.51%, and Japan's Nikkei firmed 0.72%, snapping eight days of losses. However, there were still reasons for caution around the region, especially with China on holiday, seemingly contributing to a delay in progress towards any resolution for beleaguered developer China Evergrande. Carlos Casanova, senior Asia economist at UBP, said there were ongoing concerns about China's power crunch and its property market, given the government did not seem to in a hurry to step in even as debt problems at Evergrande threatened to spill over into the wider industry. "There is contagion into the broader real estate sector, authorities are not doing more to intervene, and so investors are trying to assess what this new pain threshold means," he said. But he added that the improved mood in U.S.-China relations, especially the more constructive tone in the speech by trade chief Katherine Tai this week, had boosted risk sentiment. Also supporting equities, oil prices pulled away from multi-year highs hit a day earlier. An rally in oil prices had been a major contributor to a sell-off in equities this week. U.S. crude dipped 0.93% to $76.71 a barrel. Crude fell overnight after hitting a seven-year high of $79.78 on Wednesday on an unexpected rise in U.S. crude stocks. Brent crude lost 0.5% to $80.69 per barrel, off its three-year high of $83.47 also hit on Wednesday. [O/R] European and U.S. natural gas prices also both slipped over 10% overnight in volatile trade. European prices had hit all-time highs early on Wednesday amid an enduring supply crunch. The recent surge in global gas prices – that have helped lift Asian LNG prices by 500% from a year ago – have left the entire energy area prone to increased volatility, with power producers in Europe and Asia still expected to replenish tight stocks ahead of winter. The fall in energy prices and apparent temporary deal to avert a federal debt default contributed to a late rally on Wall Street. Global markets will next focus on payrolls data due on Friday, with investors anticipating that a reasonable figure will mean the U.S. Federal Reserve will begin tapering its massive stimulus programme at its November meeting. The dollar was steady, not too far from 12-month highs hit last month against a basket of currencies, and held at a 14-month high against the euro. The yield on benchmark 10-year Treasury notes was at 1.5398%, off Wednesday's three and a half month high of 1.573%. Spot gold fell 0.2% to $1,759.89 per ounce.

By Alun John HONG KONG (Reuters) - Asian shares dropped on Wednesday and U.S. benchmark yields rose to a three-and-a-half month top as investors stayed jittery about inflation with oil prices reaching new multi-year highs. MSCI's broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan fell 0.3%, while Japan's Nikkei lost 0.69%. Futures also pointed to a lower open in Europe with the pan-region Euro Stoxx 50 futures off 0.72% in early trade and FTSE futures down 0.6%. U.S. stock futures, the S&P 500 e-minis shed 0.4%. U.S. crude rose 0.24% to $79.11 a barrel, its highest level since 2014. Brent crude gained 0.3% to $82.80 per barrel, having hit a three-year high in the previous session, driven by concerns about energy supply and a decision on Monday by the OPEC+ group of producers to stick to a planned output increase rather than raising it further. [O/R] "OPEC’s outlook suggests further reductions in global oil stockpiles. That’s a problem given that oil inventories are already low," wrote analysts at CBA in a note. These worries have also weighed on equity markets, with investors concerned that higher energy prices could force central banks to raise rates more quickly to react to rising inflation. "Oil needs to come off a bit," said Dave Wang, a portfolio manager at Nuvest Capital in Singapore. "A further spike in oil will force everyone to reassess inflation assumptions." Korea fell 0.99%, Australia 0.8%, and Hong Kong 0.3%. New Zealand's central bank raised interest rates by 25 basis points. Although widely expected, the move still pushed the New Zealand dollar about 0.1% higher, before falling 0.45%, and also seemed to affect wider equity markets. Investors' inflation worries also drove a sell-off in longer-dated U.S. Treasuries. Benchmark 10-year yields rose 4.5 basis points to 1.573% during the Asia session, having climbed nearly 11 bps in three days. They were last at 1.5694%. Yields on 20-year and 30-year Treasuries also jumped five bps or more to their highest since June. [US/] Chinese markets remained closed for a public holiday, and shares of cash-strapped Chinese developer China Evergrande were suspended having stopped trading on Monday pending an announcement of a significant transaction. In currency markets, the dollar gained slightly against a basket of other major currencies, supported by the rising yields, and was heading back towards a year high hit last month. The euro stayed near its 14-month low struck last week. Spot gold shed 0.48% to $1751.4 an ounce, with the non-interest bearing asset hurt by higher yields. [GOL/]
