The SPY is stuck between Friday's low and Monday's gap open on no volume - and it is RUT rebalancing day! Also high beta is the place to be it seems today (IWM outperforming). And guess what - VWAP reversion wins, at least every 5 minutes or so.
JP Morgan and Deutsche Bank continue dominating the trading in the most popular index hedges, SPY and IWM. Aside from these trading outliers, all is good, as consumer confidence spikes, and while retail sales continue dropping, the whisper, the promise, the hope, of at least one more sale at (or within +/-30% of) MSRP is in the air.
