Italy 34 bps wider ( arrival of populist government), EM currencies hit hard: Argentina peso down another 5 percent, now down almost 20 percent in May; sends government back to the IMF( these guys sold 100 years dollar bond last year to oversubscribed to YEH DIL MANGE MORE global investors) Turkish lira down over 4 percent( they have one of the highest dollar debt in EM) Dollar index up 1.19 percent ( main culprit) France CAC up 1.31 percent ( is it capital flows out of Italy ?) S&P500 down about ½ percent (basically directionless) Russell 2000 ( US small caps)making new highs…..hmmm interesting Grains move higher ( extreme weather) Crude continues to march higher ( by now everybody is long crude) Gold back below $1300.
