To none of our surprise, Bernanke
announced operation Twist late last night.
We knew that one was coming.
What we didn’t know was what the market reaction would be to this latest act of the FED. Anyone with any degree of common sense
knew that shuffling money between short-term debt and long-term debt was
not going to save the world's largest economy. However, markets are often devoid of
common sense, so we had to wait for the event to see whether or not the
market would immediately recognize the futility of the Fed’s action.
Needless to say the market knew immediately that this was not going to
stop the global recession. If QE1 and QE2 where money was printed enormously,
couldn’t stop the global economy from rolling over how was shuffling
some money back and forth between long-term and short-term debt going to
do anything?
Anyways here is a chart of the Nifty for the past three sessions :
On 20/9 we had single print buying off 5034 at the open.
We will wait to see how these buyers react to the gap down, and take cues from there.
