Keep An Ear To The Ground

Fri, 11 Sep 2009 14:53:20 GMT

Don’t look now Bear fans, but the S&P 500 has advanced for 5 straight days and closed yesterday at its highest level in eleven months. However, I’m sure I wasn’t the only investor nervously watching the mid-August highs yesterday as a repeat of the recent stall patterns appeared to be a distinct possibility. But instead of struggling with resistance, the troops appeared to follow the NASADQ’s lead and the indices powered to new cycle highs.[More...]

HY outperformed IG as both IG and HY managed gains on the week (Friday-to-Friday close) and even more so from Monday's gap wider openings as the intraday ranges increased as the week progressed. IG and HY closed today within a few bps of their opening (low/tight) levels of last Thursday as HY reached back above $89 by the end of the week. Interestingly, given the headlines, we saw CMBS prices drop and ABX (RMBS) prices rise on the week as CRE losses are on the tip of everyone's tongues as is a residential housing bottom (not!). IG and HY intrinsics both underperformed as the indices saw tecahnicals at play as well as equities weighing positively and negatively on them every day. HVOL was a smidge wider as was[More...]
