Big buyer supporting the DAX into the close yesterday, came back 100 pts lower today.

Quote from frank_london:

Lets say the buyer has picked up 50K contracts I was hearing that they were around 35K earlier and doesn't include the purchses over the last serveral days. This is a notional value of
9212500000 euros worth of stock exposure.

A little over 9 billion euros or close to $12.5 billion dollars.

Not many buyers have the bullets to this

"The Buyer" ? Singular ? :confused:
 
Someone has been supporting the Dax without a doubt. The buying was not spread across other markets, the ES, CAC, FTSE. and DL Euro Stoxx were all getting clocked while the Dax held.

Check the horizontal line in the dax between 11:15-13:30 european time while all other indices have a nice diagonal line pointing down...
Then again he's right :)

Not really looking for an answer just very curious who the buyer is as it really was 1 buyer... and taking up at least 10bln in market value while other futures are crashing and setting new lows.

Just hoping someone comes with a clue... I remember after the Dr. Evil trade someone posted right away that it was Citigroup and only days later did it end up in the financial times...

Just stating my observations. You don't need to flame.

Maybe he's covering shorts.....

If he only wants to cover shorts he could easy do this by 8-10 4000 Lot OTC orders and not refreshing his iceberg for 40-70 Lots.

It seems that he now is doing the same for the Russel.
