If The Markets Were Healthy Brexit Would Be A Non- Event Ep.177

Published: June 29, 2016, 12:37 a.m.


\n\t* It was Turnaround Tuesday in the global financial markets as stocks are recovering from 2 days of carnage following the surprise Brexit vote in the U.K.
\n\t* The Dow was up almost 270 points today, NASDAQ up about 97
\n\t* But really the markets got beaten up the last couple days
\n\t* The smallest bounce was from the banks, which have been beaten up the most
\n\t* So they had the biggest drop and the smallest bounce
\n\t* Which really shows you how weak that sector is
\n\t* It couldn't even manage much of a dead cat bounce
\n\t* In fact, the carnage in, particularly the European banks is much bigger than it was during the financial crisis of '08
\n\t* This really shows you how much more levered up the banking system must be, thanks to all these years of QE and negative interest rates
\n\t* And of course, how much farther behind can the American banks be from their European cousins?
\n\t* U.S bank stocks, too, were hitting 52-week lows yesterday
\n\t* I still think there's a lot of carnage coming
\n\t* Some banks may be in a position where they are going to have to raise equity, which means they'll have to sell stock
\n\t* Clearly the market is not going to like that
\n\t* But again, everybody is blaming this on all the uncertainty surrounding Brexit
\n\t* To me, if we had a healthy financial system, if the markets were sound, and prices were based on fundamentals
\n\t* Would it really make that much of a difference if the UK were in the EU or not?
\n\t* What is being revealed here is the fragility of the whole system that is being propped up artificially by the banks
\n\t* By cheap money, low interest rates - everybody is speculating
\n\t* And everybody is assuming that the powers that be, whether it is the politicians, the governments or the central banks have everything under control
\n\t* It's a big put out there and nothing can go wrong
\n\t* And then when something does go wrong, then people get nervous
\n\t* The wake up and say, "Wait a minute! Maybe it's not as safe as we thought!"
