Is there a reason bonds have dropped to 6.01% yet stocks are falling and gold stocks are rising?

contrarian ramblings... As the holder of a Japan mutual fund I can tell you Japanese stocks are still making new highs in dollar terms. I hate precious metals because supply and demand doesn't mean production and consumption, it means dumping and hoarding, so price movements are news-driven and hard to predict in advance. People think oil is the same but it's not - consumption is outrunning production and even if OPEC turns on the taps they won't be able to catch up for some time. Also what's all this about the CPI being low without counting energy? Rising energy costs are for real. JMVVHO Fun-da-Mental

"We expect a short-term rally (which probably began on Tuesday afternoon), but the conditions for a stronger, intermediate-term buy signal are not yet in place. Those conditions are 1) the oscillator rising above 180, and 2) the equity-only put-call ratio rolling over to a buy signal. Hence, this broad market decline is not yet over it will probably require least a retest of Tuesday's lows, and if those are violated, then a longer bottoming process will be necessary. Make no mistake, though, that oversold conditions of this severe magnitude eventually lead to bullish conclusions." optionstrategist.com
