The cratering in stock indices is afoot.

HSI and HSCEI today are doing so.

Opening gains in stocks are being given up as the past 2 days of trading is occurring.

Pessimism is growing amongst a host sentiment and survey indicators.

Really long term mean reversions are occurring or nearing.

Smaller investors seem jittery.

The AUD/USD is plunging. A visit to 0.6320 would be a 3 standard deviation event.

“I think prices will jump a little, drag in a few more people and then spit them out again in the coming week or three followed up with another swoon.”

And here we are…..

For a bit of sport, I think S&P 500 has a terrible day during Wednesday’s session and the Aussie market will give up its early gains then sink further on Thursday before traders swoop in and start buying 2 hours before Thursday close not before they dump the same stock into Friday’s close before their long weekend on the Australian east coast.

That’s the sort of market we have currently.
