HARDUP ""Why the sudden fall in Market and Lloyds share price yesterday after a good start? Looks like the City wide boys got the nod yesterday morning that military action by the US and UK against targets in Yemen was imminent."

Give it a rest, seriously...

..at the open.

This isn't the start to the year that equity bulls hoped for.

After yesterday's rout, S&P 500 futures are down 24 points, or 0.5% while Nasdaq futures are 0.7% lower.

The market isn't getting any help from fixed income where yields have extended gains to 3-5 bps across the curve. Ten year yields are now just below 4%, which isn't going to help.

""But if a Santa Claus rally doesn't materialize over the next week seven trading days, it could serve as a warning sign to investors that the coming year might see a weak start for stocks.

Over the past 30 years, the five times stocks posted negative returns during the Santa Claus rally period, the month of January was lower for stocks each time.

"Notably, there was no Santa Claus rally in 2000 and 2008, not the best times for investors, and potentially some major warnings that something wasn't right. Lastly, the full year was negative in 1994 and 2015 after no Santa [Claus rally]," Detrick said.

Accordingly, Hirsch coined the phrase, "If Santa should fail to call, bears may come to Broad and Wall.

The New York Stock Exchange is located at the corner of Broad and Wall Streets".
