Today we highlight the incredible surge in equity call option trading in the US this year and especially in recent weeks and ponder whether the underlying market structure risks a significant market dislocation event on any exogenous shock - i.e., a proper crash. We also highlight important equity, commodity and equity stories while encouraging everyone to keep an eye on US yields as a potential gamechanger if yields continue to rise.

Today we highlight the sudden rise in US yields that deserves perhaps the most attention of any market development, as rising yields are a strong challenge to growth stock valuations for stocks that have proven such outperformers in recent market history. We also look at the US stimulus package news that may be behind yesterday's treasury sell-off and the plunge in the US dollar. A look at gold and oil positioning and the future of energy demand also on the call. Today with Peter Garnry on equities, Ole Hansen on commodities and John J. Hardy hosting and on FX.

Elsewhere, a look at inflation-protected treasury out-performance in the US and the ongoing squeeze in EU peripheral spreads, the US dollar and Fed Chair Powell out speaking today and more.

The energy in markets is low due to US Thanksgiving holiday, but three markets are on the move. Chinese equities are up 1.6% today on government statistics showing industrial profits are up 28% y/y in October. In commodities economic activity and the rebound in China continue to drive copper and oil higher. But it is not only spot prices that are showing interesting signs, the average forward curve in commodity futures has shifted into backwardation for the first time since 2014 indicating further potential in commodities. Finally, we take a look at Bitcoin which was selling off hard yesterday on potential regulatory crackdown coming to crypto currencies. Today with Peter Garnry on equities and Ole Hansen on commodities.
