Treasury Curve Pancaking As Stocks Approach 1252 Support

http://www.zerohedge.com/news/treasury-curve-pancaking-stocks-approach-1252-support

The worst possible news for financials, which basically never managed to tick higher in all of 2011, is now here as the entire Treasury curve has virtually pancaked today, making sure that the perfect storm for banks is here, with nobody trading (no sales revenue), prop trading dismantled (no trading revenue), and no lending revenue soon either (2s10s heading to 0%). The closed loop will send even more money into the 10 and 30 Year, causing even more pain for banks, and so on ad inf until Bernanke relents. And you can be certain that the CEOs of the TBTFs are on the phone with the New York Fed as we speak. Luckily, the next FOMC meeting is August 9 which means the market will only have to deal with this non QE3 uncertainty for a few days. Naturally when QE3 is announced, gold will promptly leave $2000 in the rearview mirror.



And elsewhere, with the 200DMA support now history, the next support line, as we mentioned last week, is roughly 1252 which is now just 12 points away. After that... there is no support until about 1150.
