Nice historical volatility chart

This is a helpful annotated chart of yearly S&P 500 volatility. I bookmarked it back in 2014, so it only covers the years from 1929 to 2014.

S&P 500 calendar year realized volatility from 1929-2014 $SPY $SPX $VIX

— via Ro_Patel on StockTwits, October 09, 2014

The y-axis is S&P Calendar Year Realized Volatility as a percentage. The x-axis is time in years. I hope it is possible to enlarge the image by clicking on it! The red bars represent the 10 years with highest volatility. The green bars represent the 10 years with the lowest volatility. I am guessing that the blue bars are all other years.

I wondered why the chart was tagged with $SPY $SPX and $VIX. Both StockTwits and Twitter used to denote stock symbols with a dollar sign instead of a hash tag.

The first two were easy. SPY is an ETF that is backed by actual shares of stock in the companies that are included in Standard & Poor's 500 index. SPX is driven by the price of the S&P 500 Index itself. SPX isn't tradeable per se, but there are SPX futures and various SPX options.

Volatility and the fear indicator

Volatility is the standard deviation of a stock, stock index, or other security's annualized returns over a time period; essentially, the rate at which the security or index price increases or decreases. ‘Actual’ (historical) volatility measures the variability of known prices.

What is $VIX

VIX is called the fear indicator because it is used to infer a quantitative metric of market risk, fear, and stress. It is defined as the 30-day expected volatility of the S&P 500 stock index, using Chicago Board Options Exchange (CBOE) listed S&P 500 options data. VIX is a measure of implied volatility (forward-looking) not historical. Values over 30 are considered high, while 20 is more typical. There's no upper bound on VIX.

The VIX isn't tradeable, which is why I am amused that its CBOE landing page (URL above) has "tradeable" in the URL! Instead, there are VIX futures, call and put options for trading.

The VIX was introduced by CBOE in 1993. I think that's why this chart doesn't have VIX on the y-axis (only alluding to it with $VIX) as an historical time series. It wouldn't be possible to impute historical values, especially not to 1929 but not even prior to 1993, because VIX is calculated by aggregating weighted prices of a constantly changing portfolio of S&P 500 calls and puts over a range of strike prices.

StockTwits

StockTwits seems mostly moribund to me, since about 2015. The name is a little strange, but it is a great idea: A social network for investor/speculators. The realtime, Twitter-like functionality, and user interface, are well-designed and fun. I think StockTwits was founded by Howard Lindzon who is nice, and maybe Fred Wilson the AVC guy ("A Venture Capitalist"?). EDIT: I just checked. It is still active but not exactly a huge startup venture.

Now that Amazon.com has retired Alexa, I can't find website metrics as easily. I'm mildly curious about StockTwits. I wish I could average unique annual page views per year, and then do a 3-line time series graph of unique daily views during 2012 (when it was really active), 2015, and last year.

Convention Review - SPACE 2022

Convention: SPACE (Small Press and Alternative Comics Expo)

Location: Columbus, OH

Date: May 21-22

Table cost: $80, but $10 was refunded to cover the cost of parking

Table size: 8���

Application: FCFS

Fandom/audience: Alternative Comics

Items for sale: 11x17" posters (fanart and original), coloring book, zines (fanart and original), pins (original), resin coasters

New items/display: 4x6″ mini commissions

Mask policy: Not required

Previously attended? Yes, 2014

Pros: Inexpensive, all about creator-owned comic content

Cons: Venue changed a few months before the show

It has been a few years since I’ve done SPACE (since before moving to California) and I had heard good things about how the show was growing.  I’ve had mixed reception at indy comics shows (APE, MOCCA, SPX) but I went ahead and trusted the word of those who did the show pre-pandemic and signed up.

I don’t know if it was the change of location to the fairgrounds (which not only had paid parking but also are kind of in the middle of nowhere), a lack of publicity, or what, but it seemed there were more artists than attendees.  And while it was good to catch up with and meet new Ohio comic artists, I can do that without spending $70 + hotel costs and having to bring and set up my whole shop.

Gross sales: <$300

Recommend/will attend again? I know SPACE is basically run by one guy and his love of indie comics, so I don’t want to treat it too harshly, but with conventions being my main source of income I can’t afford to do shows with basically no return like this one.

Other 2022 convention reviews:

Causeacon

Indiana Comic Con

Ohayocon

Anime Zap (featuring 2021 review links)

These reviews take a lot of time and effort, but I think they are something the artist alley community needs! If you would like to support me so I can keep doing these, please consider donating or buying from my shops!

Oh!!!! Here’s an announcement!!! @silversprocket is publishing Fanlee and Spätzle Make Something Perfect, a collection of F&S comics from 2014-2019! It’s debuting at SPX!!! That’s THIS WEEKEND???

This collection spans from: literally the very first drawing I ever did of Fanlee and Spätzle to the end of the most recent story arc! It’s, so much? It’s a lot just for me to look back on. Things have changed so much since the start QoQ

You can pick up a copy as soon as this weekend either at my table or the Silver Sprocket booth — either way, bring it by my table if you want an autograph 😜

And if you can’t make it to SPX, it’s ok! It’ll be available for online pretty soon!

[literal-ghost]

Best SPX experience: a small gaggle of kids came up to my table and asked about the prices for buttons I had out. (I had bought these for Katsucon back in 2014 and had a hard time getting rid of them.)

I gave them the bowl and told them that they could just take whatever buttons they wanted to. They seemed really happy about it and took maybe 6 all together.

A little while later, they had come back with the money for the buttons and gave it to me anyway. ;;

Hot U.S. inflation is boosting market expectations for a 5% or higher fed-funds rate in a matter of months

New Post has been published on https://medianwire.com/hot-u-s-inflation-is-boosting-market-expectations-for-a-5-or-higher-fed-funds-rate-in-a-matter-of-months/

Hot U.S. inflation is boosting market expectations for a 5% or higher fed-funds rate in a matter of months

With inflation showing no signs of letting up, expectations are building in financial markets for a 5% fed-funds rate by March that’s likely to bring more volatility across equities, bonds and currencies.

Barclays sees the benchmark U.S. interest-rate target getting to 5% to 5.25% by February — from a current level between 3% to 3.25% — on the back of “more aggressive, front-loaded” rate hikes by the Federal Reserve, according to a note released Thursday. Meanwhile, fed funds futures traders see a 38.8% chance that rates get to at least that level by next March, up from 6.1% on Wednesday, according to the CME FedWatch Tool.

See: Fed’s benchmark interest rate may peak above 5% after Sept inflation data, some economists think

The game-changer was Thursday’s hotter-than-expected consumer-price index report for September, which reflected worrisome jumps in the core readings that exclude food and energy and produced the seventh straight 8%-plus annual headline reading. Until now, many in financial markets have struggled to adjust to the likelihood of just a roughly 4% fed-funds rate by November, which would be the highest level in more than a decade. Now, traders and economists are pointing to the likelihood of further volatility as expectations grow around a 5% fed-funds rate — a level last seen in 2006 — with investors poised to dump stocks and bonds and to favor the dollar.

A 5% fed-funds rate would be “negative for stocks and earnings and lead to more selloffs in bonds,” said Tom di Galoma, managing director of rates trading at Seaport Global Holdings in Greenwich, Conn. “It would also be absolutely devastating for the economy. The loan market would be completely shut down at that point, and banks would not be approving housing loans or loans to companies.”

“People are just completely taken aback by rates that have moved as much as they did over the last three months. I certainly did not expect a 5% 2-year rate, but that seems to be where we might be heading,” di Galoma said via phone. “We’re going to see not a shallow recession, but something more massive than people are used to. We’re going back to at least the Global Financial Crisis here because every place in the world is slowing” and all these markets are in the process of “breaking down.”

Rex Nutting: Everybody is looking at the CPI through the wrong lens. The best measure shows inflation fell to the Fed’s target in the past three months.

On Thursday, investors reacted to the September CPI report by initially driving down all three major U.S. stock indexes DJIA, -1.34%

SPX, -2.37% before they bounced back sharply to finish higher. Analysts said stocks had been due for a squeeze higher after a six-day selloff that left the S&P 500 on Wednesday at its lowest close since November 2020.

The policy-sensitive 2-year Treasury rate TMUBMUSD02Y, 4.510% soared to almost 4.5%, a fresh 15-year high, while the 30-year yield TMUBMUSD30Y, 3.996% reached 3.93% or its highest since Jan. 3, 2014.

Before Thursday’s CPI report, Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen had voiced concerns about the potential for problems related to thin trading conditions in the market for U.S. government debt, according to news reports. She was quoted as saying after a speech on Wednesday that “we are worried about a loss of adequate liquidity in the market.”

A potential lack of liquidity in the $23.7 trillion Treasurys market is just one of many cracks that seem to be forming in financial markets as central bankers raise interest rates at the fastest clip in decades — triggering debate about whether the next financial crisis is inevitable.

Talk of a 5% fed-funds rate has circulated for at least the past month, but always seemed to get buried behind a more general dialogue about what the Fed might do in November.

The reason that the CPI report moved the needle is because “hopes that lower inflation was going to come from a resolution of supply-chain adjustments have faded, and supply-chain improvements that have been passed through to consumers are still not enough,” said Will Compernolle, a New York-based senior economist at FHN Financial. “The era of globalization that puts downward pressure on goods prices may be over.”

He said that FHN’s chief economist is expecting a 6% fed-funds rate rate at some point, which will exacerbate global recessionary headwinds and keep the dollar strong. The first thing that could break in the global economy “is Europe as it goes into a severe downturn,” Compernolle said via phone on Thursday.

For Ben Emons, managing director of global macro strategy at Medley Global Advisors in New York, “it is without a doubt that U.S. inflation is getting out of control.”

Equity markets have yet to price in the likelihood of a 5% fed-funds rate by the first half of 2023, Emons wrote in an email on Thursday. The immediate consequence of the latest inflation update confirming inflation is averaging 8% year-over-year is that it “puts the Fed on track to follow what the central bank of Brazil did,” which is to hike rates above inflation.

Putting together an art book of Island Book development stuff! It’s probably going to be 40 pages, and extremely dense with sketches and other art, presented as coherently and non-spoilerly as possible. Probably to debut at SPX.

These first three images are from 2014 (!!!) when I was working on the pitch and hadn’t figured out how it would look; the last one is the more-or-less final appearance of the main characters.

Simple But Spooky

Going back to the initial rally off the 2009 lows -- 666.79 -- and calculated from the first retracement, Fibonacci extensions projected both the sideways pattern from 2014-2016 and the pre-Covid peak, each in a rather definitive way.

Perhaps we should take note that the SPX is approaching yet another Fib milestone: the 685.40% extension at 4801.24.  

Regardless what happens, I wish you a very Happy New Year.

Solvency of financial institutions could be bigger threat than liquidity in next crisis, economist says

New Post has been published on https://medianwire.com/solvency-of-financial-institutions-could-be-bigger-threat-than-liquidity-in-next-crisis-economist-says/

Solvency of financial institutions could be bigger threat than liquidity in next crisis, economist says

In a sign of the darkening outlook for the global economy and financial markets, the continuing debate over whether the next major crisis is on the way is shifting into a conversation about just what type of crisis it will be.

For Neil Shearing, group chief economist at London-based Capital Economics, the bigger threat is not a liquidity crisis arising from rapidly rising interest rates and falling asset prices worldwide. Rather, it is the threat to the solvency of financial institutions, which usually requires government action, that’s more important.

The distinction matters because central banks can generally deal with liquidity crises, by providing greater access to credit and unlimited amounts of money if needed. A solvency crises, on the other hand, poses a graver threat to the economy because institutions theoretically wouldn’t be able to stay alive no matter how much help they got. While some say the 2007-2009 financial crisis and recession was primarily driven by a lack of liquidity, it also arose from a loss of investor confidence in financial firms where solvency was at risk.

Talk of whether the next financial crisis is on the way picked up steam last week, when cracks in everything from credit markets to mutual-fund flows and the implied volatility of bonds, stocks and currencies pointed to the potential for something to break. Shearing’s comments on Tuesday came on the same day that the International Monetary Fund warned the global economy is at its most vulnerable moment since the onset of the 2020 COVID crisis, and that a general lack of liquidity in markets, especially for government debt, could act as a “shock amplifier.”

Recent turmoil in the U.K. bond market, which has led to repeated interventions by the Bank of England, is “primarily a liquidity crisis,” Shearing said. “Instead, the real danger lurks in solvency crises (or the risk that liquidity crises are allowed to morph into solvency crises).”

In a nutshell, solvency trouble occurs when the value of an institution’s assets falls below that of its liabilities. On a large scale, that can ” impair the entire system of financial intermediation and credit creation, which in turn can cause a sharp contraction in the real economy,” the economist said. Ultimately, governments would be required to absorb the losses and recapitalize parts of the financial system.

To be sure, the 2007-2009 financial crisis and economic downturn has led to stricter regulation and oversight that should make commercial banks less vulnerable to solvency crises, he said. Even so, “sources of financial risk have a habit of materializing in a way that is difficult to fully anticipate in advance.”

In addition, another source of risk is the shadow banking sector, with the greatest threats being in places where assets “are illiquid and difficult to value,” Shearing wrote.

In a roller-coaster session on Tuesday, stocks ended mostly lower, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, +0.12% holding on to a small gain while the S&P 500 SPX, -0.65% declined for a fifth straight session. Meanwhile, two- TMUBMUSD02Y, 4.295% and 10-year U.S. bond yields TMUBMUSD10Y, 3.944% advanced to two-week highs, while the 30-year rate TMUBMUSD30Y, 3.926% reached its highest level since 2014 as traders priced in the prospects of rising interest rates.

Market Dynamics

Homogenizers are used in a number of end-use industries such as food & dairy, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics & personal, chemical processing, and many others. Development in these sectors is likely to push the homogenizer industry. Among these end-use industries, there is substantial demand for homogenizers from the food & dairy industry, as food & dairy manufacturers integrate homogenization techniques into their product manufacturing process, providing many advantages, such as the introduction of new product categories and efficient use of existing products. It also helps minimize microbiological activity and increases the shelf life of the product.

The shift from traditional homogenizing equipment to automated homogenizing equipment, especially in developing countries, to fuel growth in the homogenizer market. Nevertheless, the high cost of homogenizing equipment is expected to impede the development of the homogenizer industry. In addition, growing disposable income among the middle-class population will generate opportunities for the retail food industry, which would further boost the demand for homogenizer products.

Market Segmentation

The global homogenizer market has been segmented on the basis of type, technology, and application.

On the basis of type, the global homogenizer market has been segmented into ultrasonic, pressure, and mechanical. Pressure homogenizer is expected to develop at a rapid pace due to increased use in pharmaceuticals and food & dairy products.

On the basis of technology, the global homogenizer market has been segmented into single-valve assembly and two-valve assembly.

On the basis of application, the global homogenizer market has been segmented into food & beverage, personal care, chemical, pharmaceutical, and others. Food & dairy products are projected to have a relatively high market share due to the increased consumption of packaged foods.

Regional Analysis

Region-wise, the global homogenizer market has been segmented into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and the rest of the world.

The Asia Pacific region has the largest homogenizer market share, and this growth is expected to continue over the forecast period. Emerging nations like China and India are experiencing an increasing food and dairy industry, resulting in increased demand for homogenizers. Consequently, these factors will continue to drive the homogenizer market in the region.

Key Players

The key players of the global homogenizer market report are Krones AG, GEA Group, SPX Corporation, Sonic Corporation, Avestin Inc., Bertoli s.r.l, FBF Italia s.r.l, PHD Technology International LLC, Microfluidics International Corporation, Ekato Holding GmbH, Alitec, and Simes SA.
