Packaged-Goods Companies Slash Marketing Spending As Amazon Makes Sales “All About Price”
Amazon’s dominance of all things retail-related in the US is starting to effect on how packaged goods are marketed: Big Brands are starting to give up on expensive advertising campaigns because customers no longer see the value in expert branding. Now, thanks to Jeff Bezos and his algorithms, they’re fixated at finding the lowest price […]
Brexit Briefing: Trade, The Repeal Bill And May’s Woes
In recent days, the Brexit debate has focused on the rights of EU citizens in the UK after the country’s divorce becomes absolute; an important issue but unlikely to be a market mover.

Goldman: Assume Low Volatility Lasts For At Least One Year
With volatility oddly low, Goldman Sachs strikes a pose that is not too dissimilar to that of Bridgewater’s Ray Dalio, who said the dance with central banks and their negative interest rates and free market antics won’t end until cracks become apparent.

Retail Investors Are Piling Into “The Most Dangerous Trade In The World”
It shouldn’t be too surprising that the XIV exchange-traded note – which is designed to deliver the inverse performance of the well-known CBOE Volatility Index (or the VIX) on a daily basis – is attracting fresh attention after surging as much as 87 percent this year.

Euro Bund Market Observations (Ending One-Time-Framing)
Looking at the plain daily chart, we can observe the end of the one-time-framing lower behavior which occurred for several weeks as Friday’s high got taken out.
