Markets pushing higher in the last 10 minutes, trying to bring on yet another positive week for stocks, this would make it 5 up straight weeks in a row.
The question is when will reality overtake the Fed's POMO? Apparently about $20B went into POMO last week. One can imagine how things would've turned out otherwise, with the 3-day pullback, dismal housing data on Friday, etc.
However, gov't intervention never works for too long. Remember all the stuff they tried in 2008 to no avail. But the interference makes analysis more difficult, no matter which direction you think it will ultimately go.
Another weird day so far--Treasuries up strong, stocks/gold/USD still TBD...
