Biotechs at record-erer highs...

Futures ramped after the China GDP data, dumped at the US open, ramped again after Europe closed... then started to fade

USDJPY was in charge as once Europe closed, stocks ripped back up to catch it...

Treasuries were very mixed today with the long end closing near record lows (30Y -7bps at 2.38% on moar QE duration scarcity) and the short-end saw yields rise (2Y +1.5bps at 49.5bps)...

banging 2s30s to fresh 6 year flats...

The USDollar rallied (as Swissy weakened a little more)

Oilmageddon continues... with WTI back down to a $46 handle, down almost 5% from Friday's close (but gold and silver are surging)... note the moves in commodities started after China GDP...
