The SPASX200 is up +0.2% with Aussie banks trading higher but energy stocks lower. Korean stocks are weak with the KOSPI dropping -0.8%.

Federal Reserve Vice Chairman Fischer, Chair Yellen’s right hand man, moderates a panel in Washington, DC. Fed’s Powell touts the standard line that there is concern over market volatility ahead but it will not affect the Fed’s decisions. The joint Fed-ECB conference is uneventful with the discussions concerning further collusive intervention into world markets occurring in private.

The Investors Intelligence survey is at a record high 58% bulls. Traders are complacent as evidenced with AAPL gapping up every day as investors are willing to buy without any regard for price. The CPC and CPCE put/call ratios remain low ditto the VIX at 13.31 verifying the complacency. There is no reason to ever worry about a stock market pull back since the central bankers plan on maintaining higher equities indefinitely. Investors are partying like its 1999.
