The Cherry On Top: CME Lowers Equity Index Margins By Over 20%

In a week which has seen the Fed telegraphing further QEasing by its favorite mouthpiece, and the ECB promising, but neverdelivering, both that the ESM would get a banking license, which prevented the EURUSD from tumbling below 1.20 yesterday yet which has been totally forgotten today, and that we should "beeleeve" Mario Draghi that unlike before he will not let the EUR fail, the cherry on top and the one event which removes any doubt that the coordinated events of this whole have had the sole purposes of masking that US corporate success has finally plateaued and it is 'only downhill from here', comes courtesy of the CME which moments ago cut the margin requirements on the bulk of its equity indices by 20-25%.
