FLC "popped" 1/4 because oil jumped 65 cents. FLC back down unchanged, but SLB, HAL, DO, etc. are up. PVN - already have a 1/3 of June 75 (bought at a price higher than now:( Amat - keep on sliding MU - NFC

Yup, that is what I'm thinking too, on the equity side of things.

Def, I see your point. This being the perspiration week where we can expect weird things to happen, I am not sure if bonds and stocks are really detached. This rally on low volume is not at all convincing. If we see continuation of strength in to next week, I think your assessment is dead-on.

As I post, bonds are off about 8 ticks since CBOT close. I very much agree with the logic of a steepening US yield curve. Pressure will be on the ECB to cut rates, Japan is finally starting to print money, and the UK is on the verge of another rate cut. US still has double digit MS growth. The G7 is talking stimulus this weekend so I am also looking for potential commodity price pickups. FWIW. bloomberg.com "When pro-growth policies take hold, increased global credit demand will push up long-term rates even as central banks anchor short-term rates."
