Quote from trickshot:
Japan bonds and gold what? Japanese bond yields are DOWN, the bond market crash that all the doomsday soothsayers have been predicting never did come. Look at Spanish and Italian bond yields, they are pretty much back to pre-crisis levels, this is astonishing given the severity of the debt crisis in Europe, I guess they have draghi's "whatever it takes" to thank for that. The rout in gold hasnt affected the stock market at all.
Stock market volatility will continue to shrink as long as central banks continue to drive down yields, and yes they cant control everything but they can control interest rates very well.
Quote from kashirin:
interest rates doesn't matter at this point
who cares if it's 4% or 7% rate when you will have moves 10% every day
hot money will move from one asset class to another creating bubbles and crashing
If you haven't noticed japanese bonds were halted several times in the last weeks
if you ask me what happened to gold you're probably blind
I tell you those kinds of moves will happen everyday soon in all assets
up down up down and those moves will be in double digits percent
Quote from kashirin:
gold miners were at 2009 levels last week
some down 50% in a week
are you satisfied?
or when you hear stocks you can't imagine anything but Dow 30?
Quote from clacy:
You don't think that stocks as an asset class are inter-connected to other asset classes such as gold, bond, cash, etc?
Quote from trickshot:
Now you are trolling.
We are obviously talking about the broader market, who cares if a few stocks move 50% a day? There will always be such stocks in any market, but they are outliers and not representative of the general market.
Market volatility has been on a down trend and its still shrinking, there is no denying this fact.
