- Friday, March 23, 2012, 3:40 PM Don't be surprised if the Fed hikes rates before late 2014, writes Anthony Doyle, as the pledge not to hike is based on its forecasts for the economy. Trouble is, the Fed - along with other central banks - is a horrid economic forecaster. If the economy improves, inflation expectations rise, and the Fed doesn't hike, then we can be sure the goals of monetary policy have changed. Comment! [U.S. Economy]
- Thursday, March 22, 2012, 12:49 PM "I have never been more in the dark," writes Caroline Baum of the Fed's new transparency. Fed funds futures are pricing in hikes in 2013 even as the Bank of Bernanke pledges to sit on rates through late 2014. Inflation isn't paying attention to the Fed either, remaining above 2% even as the bank's models predict otherwise. 2 Comments [U.S. Economy]
- Thursday, March 15, 2012, 7:36 AM "Markets are beginning to (rightly in our opinion) view the Fed's commitment on Fed funds as a worthless promise," says ING's Rob Carnell, as thoughts turn to 1992-93, another period when markets had gotten used to low rates forever. The bond market carnage of 1994 ensued. The 10-year is up another 2 bps to 2.28%. 1 Comment [U.S. Economy]
- Wednesday, March 14, 2012, 10:32 AM The Fed Funds futures market - mostly in a Fed-induced slumber because of the pledge to keep rates at 0% through 2014's end - makes a big move down today and is now pricing in nearly 50 basis points of tightening by the end of 2013. The 2-year note rises to its highest level since August at 0.37%. Comment! [U.S. Economy]
- Friday, March 9, 2012, 8:47 AM Treasury prices head south following the solid NFP report, Thirty-year bond futures diving more than half a point. Moving in the other direction is the yield, +4 basis points to 3.22%. On the short end, September 2014 Eurodollar futures budge 3.5 basis points lower, pricing in a slightly greater chance of future Fed rate hikes. 1 Comment [U.S. Economy, On the Move]
- Wednesday, February 29, 2012, 5:07 PM We are no longer in a crisis, so we should step away from crisis thinking, Philadelphia Fed chief Plosser tells CNBC, going on to say a rate hike could be coming in 2012. The similarities between 2011 and 2012 continue to grow. It was about this time last year Fed hawks were floating 2011 hikes ... just as the economy was set to roll over. 4 Comments [U.S. Economy]
- Monday, February 20, 2012, 12:10 PM The eurozone's crisis has shifted focus away from the U.S.'s enormous debt load and has lifted foreign demand for Treasurys. Once global factors cede the spotlight, and eventually they will, and as the Fed starts to remove itself as a buyer, Treasurys may be poised for some pain. 22 Comments [U.S. Economy]
- Wednesday, January 25, 2012, 12:54 PM Treasurys move higher after an auction of 5-year notes and the FOMC extended rate lock brings in buyers. Yields: 2-year -2 bps to 0.22%, 5-year -12 bps to 0.78%, 10-year -10 bps to 1.97%, 30-year -4 bps to 3.11%. Comment! [U.S. Economy]
- Monday, January 23, 2012, 10:01 AM Though the Fed's rate lock only extends to mid-2013, Citi's Steven Englander points to trading in the futures pits on fed funds contracts as an indicator that the market isn't pricing in a Fed rate hike until H2 of 2014. This week the fed funds market gains some more detailed info to digest with the release of the rate forecasts of individual FOMC members. Comment! [U.S. Economy, Quick Ideas]
- Thursday, October 6, 2011, 1:39 PM The lush 4.60% yield on Series I Savings Bonds is due to be reset in Nov. to a lower rate based on CPI. A combination of near-zero Treasury yields and tepid inflation should keep the new rate attractive: ~3% vs. a 0.02% yield on a 6-month T-Bill. One catch? Millions take the buy-and-hold plan with savings bonds too literally, as close to $16B worth earn no interest because they are past their maturity date. Comment! [U.S. Economy, Quick Ideas]
- Monday, August 8, 2011, 12:32 PM A flight-to-quality by investors trumps - by a long shot - concerns over holding U.S. debt after S&P's downgrade brings buyers in droves out of stocks and into the now "AA-rated" safe haven. Treasury yields: 2-year -5 points to 0.25%, 5-year -16 points to 1.09%, 10-year -18 points to 2.38%. 3 Comments [On the Move, Quick Ideas]
- Wednesday, June 22, 2011, 8:08 AM The FOMC is due to wrap up a two-day meeting today, when it is likely to keep rates at 0-0.25% and confirm it will end its $600B bond buying scheme at the end of June. The key words in its statement will be 'extended period,' signalling the Fed has no plans to raise rates any time soon. Comment! [U.S. Economy]
- Tuesday, May 10, 2011, 7:42 AM Bill Gross's initial attempt at shorting U.S. Treasurys didn't work out so great (they had their biggest rally in eight months) - so he's doubling down. Pimco's $241B Total Return Fund is now -4% in government debt, from -3% in March. Cash and equivalents soared to 37% from 31%. Comment! [U.S. Economy, Quick Ideas]
- Friday, May 6, 2011, 1:48 PM You can have Bill Gross' short position in Treasurys when another recession pries it out of his hands. After weeks of the bonds' gains, Gross tells Reuters that yields are low, but "perhaps the only justification for a further rally would be weak economic growth or a future recession" that dents inflation. The 30-year yield up slightly, +0.02 to 4.28%, but otherwise still falling: 10-year -0.01 to 3.14%; five-year -0.03 to 1.85%. 5 Comments [U.S. Economy]
- Thursday, May 5, 2011, 3:35 PM Ten-year Treasurys take out their low yield for the year, now sitting at 3.17%. Amid S&P downgrades, famous short sellers, and chatter about a default if the debt ceiling isn't raised, money finds its way into U.S. government securities when trouble arises. TLT +1.0%, TBF -1.1%. 3 Comments [U.S. Economy, On the Move]
- Wednesday, April 27, 2011, 10:39 AM With 2 year yields near the bottom of a multi-month range and its measure of euro long sentiment at its highest level since December, Citi says investors are clearly leaning towards a dovish Fed statement. Anything other than that could see a reversal in recent price trends. Comment! [Global & FX, U.S. Economy]
