End month rally as -
Shorts cover to take profits for the month
Risk of global interest rate cuts this week and next
Massive US/Global rebalancing of pension fund/insurance portfolios etc.as overweight bond exposure is reduced in favor of equities.This is the subject of a Citigroup report,and this portfolio switch also occurred in the last few days of October 1987!
As an aside,why are lower interest rates considered the panacea to all our problems.After all, how have they helped Japan or all us babyboomers?
