Intraday Divergence Hits Crazy Pills Level

Courtesy of Tyler Durden

The below chart shows all three key correlation metrics relevant to today’s market: ES, AUDJPY (or FX carry), and the UST butterfly (or Treasury curve funding). In essence in a perfectly closed system, all three should track perfectly, absent massive exogenous inflows of capital into one or more of the three, which would result in dramatic dislocations. And today’s action is showing precisely this kind of dislocation: currently ES is indicating a “richness” of about 15 ES points, or almost 1.5%. For all who believe that today did not see about $150 billion of new inflows into stocks alone, this is today’s convergence arb, in which the long leg could be any combination of the AUDJPY and 2s10s30s butterfly, while the short leg is, naturally, ES. Yesterday, the spread closed almost 60% at which point we suggested unwinding. We don’t see why today should be any different, and the positive feedback loop algos should be proven right for once, with absolutely no fundamental validation.
