Additionally, SocGen’s proprietary Multi-Asset Risk Indicator (SG MARI) – based on investor positioning in futures and options markets – is currently hovering just above deep risk-off territory despite incessantly rising markets.

The indicator has seldom been at such a low level. As noted by Soc Gen:

“It has indicated ugly and even terrible things in the past (tech bubble, credit crisis, taper tantrum) when declining further. Conversely, whenever the indicator has bounced back from current levels, it has typically heralded the start of a more positive tone, which is good for equity and commodities but not for rates.”

And bear in mind September’s historical seasonality…

Just before the bell, Goldman put out a note:

Bottom line, I expect market weakness to occur in late September and potentially pre-positioning for weakness next week. I think the dip is ultimately shallow and bought into a strong Q4.

Trade accordingly.
