Today's call a real tour of global markets as we talk India, Coffee, platinum, US Treasuries rallying despite strong US data and implications of that for the yen, Toshiba takeover bid, and discuss whether the Bitcoin market is reaching a critical level for regulators, as well as signs that, as in a gold rush, the surest profits go to those selling the shovels, or in this case, the exchanges enabling crypto transactions.

Today we note the strong new surge in US equities and the possible drivers, wonder if the action in the DAX may be getting a bit over the top, look at why Asian markets didn't join in the party overnight, ponder why US treasuries aren't more down in the dumps on extremely strong US data, look into metals, especially a sudden white-hot Uranium story and much more. On today's call were Peter Garnry on equities, Althea Spinozzi on fixed income, Ole Hansen on commodities, and John J. Hardy hosting and on FX.

Also on the agenda, the implications of tax increases accompanying a new Biden stimulus, the implications of the rise in real rates and why gold is under pressure, the need for a "geopolitical" premium and much more. Today's call hosted by John J. Hardy.

Today, a bit more today on the Archegos kerfuffle, but more attention on the fresh rise in US treasury yields, which poked to new highs for the cycle in the belly of the US yield curve as US treasuries  head for their worst quarterly performance in over 40 years. Even so, Junk bonds remain incredibly resilient amid a torrent of issuance. Elsewhere, the higher US yields - and importantly, the higher US real yields, are taking the USD higher, with USDJPY taking out the big 110.00 level as the quarter and Japanese financial year close tomorrow. The French OAT auction on Thursday is the one to watch in Europe.  Today's call with Althea Spinozzi on fixed income and John J. Hardy hosting and on FX.

Today we look at the kerfuffle in the wake of the Archegos hedge fund meltdown that unfolded late last week, even if it didn't  affect the broader averages until the scale of the situation became clear over the weekend. We ponder whether this is a one-off or if it is a sign of a concerning pattern. We also preview the important week ahead, with key US labor market data that will get increasing focus from here as we transition to the post-lockdown reality in the US. Quarter end is also this week. We preview the key global equity earnings reports this week as well.  Today's call with Peter Garnry on equities and John J. Hardy hosting and on FX.

Today we look at US equity markets managing a bounce just after tipping over the edge of local supports, and then a strong follow-on session in Asia. We also look at the weak 7-year US Treasury auction, even if it was sufficiently firm to avoid significant tremors. In FX, worth noting that the negative yielders, especially CHF, are under significant further pressure here, even without US treasury yields punching to new highs. On today's call were Althea Spinozzi on fixed income, Peter Garnry on equities, and John J. Hardy hosting and on FX.

Yesterday's US equity session saw an ugly, across-the-board sell-off, with the most intense weakness in the most speculative names and the median stock stumbling badly on the day. It's a particularly worrying session as there seemed no proximate cause for the weakness other than recently weak Asian markets and no pattern we can directly link back to rising Covid numbers, an increasingly global phenomenon. Also on the call - a look at weakness in industrial metals, the US dollar's latest surge, a basket of equities linked to the rising battery industry, and more. On today's call were Peter Garnry on equities, Ole Hansen on commodities and John J. Hardy hosting and on FX.

Asian equities were in for another drubbing overnight and the development is not getting the attention it deserves, although yesterday also showed a very rocky session in the US market, if we take the median equity, at least. Today we delve into that, the spiking US dollar, crude oil and gold, and importantly, the upcoming US Treasury auctions today and tomorrow and whether the lid will stay on US yields through quarter end. On today's call were Althea Spinozzi on fixed income, Ole Hansen on commodities and John J. Hardy hosting and on FX.
