Good rally from extreme negative sentiment levels but it did not close at the highs and seem to find few believers that it can be sustained. 

But, the great bull market soared and prospered on a wall of worry and doubt so let's see if this is a real rally or merely a relief bounce.

 

Will the dip buyers continue to add more money or will the bears launch another attack?

 

SPX must regain that 50 ma level and push up or else the next major low objective of SPX 2650 will be achieved by end of May. 

 

I think there will be frenetic and furious attempts by the powers to keep this rally going and they may succeed in taking it back to SPX 2900 but..... there will be lower lows during the nextt 2 to 3 months. 

 

More Chinese veiled threats:

The US side released some signals to ease the situation these days. It dare not play rough to the end. What it's doing is threatening China while propping up US stock markets, keeping up the hope there will be a deal finally. The Chinese have seen this through.

Markets Slide Despite Stimulus Hopes After Dire Chinese Data; Yields Plunge

The global equity bounce following what many misinterpreted as softer rhetoric by President Donald Trump on the trade dispute with China, fizzled on Wednesday despite dismal Chinese data, while fresh Italian debt woes kept BTFDers on the sidelines.

Ignore the message of the bond market at your own risk. The ten year US note is down by four bps this morning. Yielding 2.37% Investors should be fearful of rising evidence of slowing global economic growth (likely to be exacerbated by an extended trade war with China).

I think the miss on this specific China data item is more worrying for the bulls than anything else

Trade war may spur #China to sell Treasuries as Yuan tumbles. Beijing could tap reserves to buoy yuan, avert capital flight.

So UBS has two strategists - what on the investment side and one on the banking side. One has S&P target of 2550, the other at 2950! So UBS, heads you win, tails you win? @carlquintanilla @zerohedge Such B.S. Same old Wall Street I suppose. @sareisen

Following LESS TA or FA or economic news etc, but far more political stuff because that is moving the markets, at least for now.

The Trash talk continues as the PHONY TRADE WAR transforms into a real war.

 

The rhetoric from China has turned starkly, aggressively nationalist. The Global Times is calling for a “People’s War”, a 1930’s Mao reference to repelling Japanese imperialism; “trade war” now fills Chinese media, having been largely absent for months; and Tuesday’s People’s Daily mouthpiece posted an image of the Chinese flag with “Talk – fine! Fight – we’ll be there! Bully us – delusion!” superimposed on it. US President Trump is also not backing down in a further set of trade-related tweets, again stating tariff revenues will support ‘patriot’ farmers and adding: “China will be pumping money into their system and probably reducing interest rates, as always, in order to make up for the business they are, and will be, losing. If the Federal Reserve ever did a “match,” it would be game over, we win! In any event, China wants a deal!”
