Yesterday: "Its here and sooner than we thought." Yen carry trade unwind.

Not so fast Joe, Yen sunk, long bonds caught a bid, as stated, maybe the unwind already did happened in anticipation? Lets see what shakes next week.

SP500, open 1518, up to 1530, fade to close 1525. NDX open 2032, gap up 2042, rise to 2054, close at 2049. Can NDX hit 2082?

Next week new & existing home sales should give a headfake on panic buying. When jumbo money went to 8% early Aug, everyone locked in at 6% pulled the trigger.

Little Red Riding Hood will be calmed by Grandma, and set up for the Big Bad Wolf (post 8%) Sept. housing numbers arriving mid Oct. along with poor Q3 results.

Often wrong, but never in doubt, this is the Nattering Naybob and you're not!
