Despite an early dump on dismal data, US equity markets (except Trannies) ‘v-shape-recovery’ed back up to unchanged or better (as Europe closed and POMO ended) on the heels of an increasingly more beta-sensitive AUDJPY rampfest. Trannies never really recovered (3rd down day in a row) and Russell was less exuberant in its dead-cat-bounce but the Dow and S&P closed very modestly green. High-yield credit markets continue to widen – now at 10-week wides (up 35bps from tights) – notably divergent from stocks.
