- Saturday, June 2, 2012, 11:45 AM Long-time bond bull Robert Kessler takes a victory lap and says there's plenty of room for yields to fall further. That's bad news for stocks, he says, as low yields are forecasting lower profits. How to make money with these yields? Banks can conservatively lever 20-to-1, borrowing for nothing to make 15% returns. It's a casino, but the House (the Fed) is paying everybody to play and win. 60 Comments [Quick Ideas]
- Friday, June 1, 2012, 7:33 AM The "Peeps" hated bonds 30 years ago and they love them today, writes Kevin Ferry (with annotated chart) in maybe the only Treasury market analysis you need. The "Peeps" are as wrong "as they were when I walked on the floor in 1984. Wrong today, this minute, next week? Who knows." 26 Comments [U.S. Economy]
- Thursday, May 31, 2012, 3:50 PM Its finger raised to the wind, Goldman sharply cuts its forecast for the high yield on the 10-year Treasury to 2% from 2.5% this year and to 2.5% from 3.25% in 2013. It's a nice bookend to the firm's famous March recommendation of a big shift out of bonds and into equities, timing beautifully the bottom in Treasurys/top in stocks this year. 7 Comments [U.S. Economy]
- Thursday, May 31, 2012, 11:59 AM "Risk appetite is just completely gone out," says Citi's Gregg Anderson as the 10-year Treasury yield falls to a record 1.53%. Extreme levels are seemingly everywhere. Those who are long Treasurys, long Bunds, long Gilts, or short euros need to ask themselves how long they expect the central banks to sit on their hands. 5 Comments
- Monday, May 21, 2012, 7:57 AM So bearish on Treasury bonds just a few weeks ago at yields 70 basis points higher, growing numbers of bond managers now posit the 10-year could fall to 1.5% (currently 1.74%). "Fundamentals are out the window at this point," says Matthew Tuttle, who last week jettisoned a lot of stocks and high-yield paper from his portfolio to buy Treasurys. Cycles, gotta love cycles. 4 Comments [U.S. Economy]
- Friday, May 18, 2012, 12:55 PM The yield on JGBs falls to 0.815%, the lowest level since 2003. Folks of a certain age will remember that summer and remember the seeming impossibility of that level. We're not only back, but the rest of the world is headed there too. German 10-year Bunds, 1.43%, U.S. 10-years, 1.71%. At the short end, Germany has gone even further, its 2-years yielding 0.05% vs. Japan at 0.10%. 4 Comments [Global & FX]
- Thursday, May 17, 2012, 2:56 PM The move into Treasurys has left the yield curve at its flattest level since the end of 2008, with 30-year - off 8 bps to 2.82% - yielding only 273 bps more than the 90-day T-bill. At 1.71%, the 10-year is approaching its lowest yield ever. As in 2011 among the world's most hated asset classes, Treasurys in 2012 are close to overtaking stocks yet again. 3 Comments [U.S. Economy]
- Thursday, May 17, 2012, 11:30 AM The divergence earlier this year between the Citigroup Economic Surprise (pointing to an improving economy) and Treasury yields (not) has been resolved in favor of Treasurys. Another decline this week has brought the mean-reverting index closer to its mean, while Treasury yields plumb historic lows. 2 Comments [U.S. Economy]
- Tuesday, May 15, 2012, 11:02 AM "Treasurys are still cheap," says BMO's Scott Graham, but suggests we're near the point where central banks may begin to take action to stem jitters in financial markets. Such a move could send yields higher at the long end, but leave the short end untouched. He's buying 2-year paper and selling 10's - the steepener trade (STPP), which has had a rough 2012. Comment! [U.S. Economy]
- Monday, May 14, 2012, 8:40 AM The 10-year U.S. Treasury yield hits its lowest level of 2012, -6 bps to 1.77%. The long bond is off 7 bps to 2.94%, within a few ticks of its YTD low. One can't help but reflect on the near-universal bearishness towards Treasurys of top bond fund managers 60 basis points ago. TLT +1.3% premarket. 1 Comment [U.S. Economy]
- Tuesday, May 8, 2012, 5:03 PM In a presentation cleverly named "Deficits Don't Matter," Jeff Gundlach asks "How could you raise interest rates?" Unemployment would be 11% if the participation rate hadn't dove as it has, and it could take 8 years to gain back all the jobs lost in the recession. Another reason is the size of the government debt. When Bernanke says he's in no rush to hike, Gundlach absolutely believes him. 13 Comments [U.S. Economy]
- Friday, May 4, 2012, 10:31 AM "Not enough jobs, not enough pay, not enough policy solutions," tweets Bill Gross in response to the jobs report, cryptically adding, "10-year Treasury to stay below 2% until June 30. After that?" Is Bill Gross trying to warn people out of Treasurys again? 8 Comments [U.S. Economy]
- Tuesday, May 1, 2012, 7:48 AM "Not suddenly, but over time, gradually higher rates of inflation should be the result of QE policies and (endless ZIRP)," writes Bill Gross, the bond man turning goldbug (?) as he urges a higher allocation to real assets as a way to combat this. Gross also recommends shortish-duration fixed income as well as stocks offering 3-4% yields. 3 Comments
- Monday, April 30, 2012, 10:22 AM Treasury prices continue to rally, the 10-year note yield off another 2 bps to 1.91%, the lowest level in nearly 3 months. Equity and Treasury prices have faithfully moved inversely to each other over past years, but the move higher in stocks since last fall has not led to a sell-off in government paper. Operation Twist in action? 2 Comments [U.S. Economy]
- Friday, April 27, 2012, 7:31 AM "I do not believe economic conditions are likely to warrant an exceptionally low federal funds rate (until 2014)," says the Richmond Fed's Jeff Lacker, commenting on his FOMC dissent. The leading hawk of those now voting on policy, he expects inflationary pressures are likely to require a bump in rates by mid-2013. Comment! [U.S. Economy]
- Wednesday, April 25, 2012, 3:05 PM Bernanke takes on Sheila Bair, disavowing any Fed responsibility for creating a bond bubble and saying its up to those owning government paper to manage their own risks. There are good reasons for rates to stay low for now, he says, not ready to "declare victory" and let fixed income price on its own. 22 Comments [U.S. Economy]
