- Monday, April 18, 2011, 4:41 PM Forget the S&P rating action, says Cullen Roche; the only news that matters today is an FT article that the Fed will soon signal the end of QE. The price action - stocks down, bonds up, dollar up - is exactly what one would expect for the end of the QE trade. 3 Comments [U.S. Economy, Quick Ideas, Global & FX]
- Monday, April 18, 2011, 12:59 PM Jeff Gundlach says the S&P warning is good for Treasuries because it will push lawmakers into action on fiscal reform. Lower government spending combined with the end of QEII is the recipe for a deflationary environment and thus, lower bond yields. 2 Comments [Quick Ideas, U.S. Economy]
- Thursday, April 14, 2011, 2:25 PM Philadelphia Fed President Plosser again makes his case for reversing highly accommodative central bank policy, but recent comments from the powerful triumvirate of Bernanke, Yellen, and Dudley indicate no change is coming in the near future. 2 Comments [U.S. Economy]
- Thursday, April 14, 2011, 12:30 PM A pretty fair Bond King of his own, Jeff Gundlach simply explains why Bill Gross is wrong about bonds selling off at the end of QEII: QE is inflationary, which is bad for bonds, therefore the end of QE has to be deflationary, which is good for bonds. The charts make it difficult to argue otherwise. Did anybody actually sell Treasurys based on Gross? 15 Comments [U.S. Economy]
- Monday, April 11, 2011, 9:34 AM Speaking in Japan, FRBNY President Dudley quashes thoughts of tightening monetary policy with so much slack in the economy. Possibly getting a dig in at the ECB, he warns headline inflation will get a boost from oil prices, but hiking rates because of that would be a policy mistake. No iPad mentions today. 2 Comments [Global & FX]
- Friday, April 8, 2011, 12:22 PM With QEII making the Fed the marginal buyer of Treasuries, its ending means Bernanke will soon have to hike interest rates in order to attract real money buyers, says Don Coxe. This will put strain on a financial system unable to handle it. Commodities will benefit, as will the loonie, "the new Swiss franc." 6 Comments [Global & FX]
- Friday, April 1, 2011, 11:10 AM The greenback returns to its pre-NFP levels as NY Fed President Dudley puts the kibosh on all the loose talk about tighter monetary policy. Bonds settle down as well, the yield on the 10 year returning to 3.46% from 3.51%, the 2 year at 0.84% from 0.88%. 2 Comments [Global & FX]
- Thursday, March 31, 2011, 5:31 PM Fed watchers won't have long to wait to see how the pro-QE trio of Bernanke, Yellen, and Dudley feel about recent hawkish talk, especially today's assertion that rates may have to rise 75 basis points this year. If Bill Dudley doesn't refute the hawks at a speech tomorrow, it may well be that rate hikes are now on the table. 2 Comments [Global & FX]
- Friday, March 25, 2011, 5:25 PM FOMC member Plosser's plan for tightening monetary policy would have the Fed dispose of $125B in assets for every 25 basis points increase in the Fed Funds rate, cutting $1.25T from the balance sheet while jacking rates to 2.5% over one year. Plosser doesn't have the "foggiest idea" if his plan will be implemented. 1 Comment
- Friday, March 25, 2011, 11:44 AM “I would recommend against buying long-term fixed-dollar investments,” Warren Buffett (BRK.A) says, as he'd much rather own businesses than bonds tied to an eroding dollar. Will the greenback hold purchasing power in five, 10, 20 years? "I would tell you it will not." 2 Comments [Global & FX]
- Tuesday, March 15, 2011, 11:26 AM Questioned by Sen. Schumer in a Senate hearing, Tim Geithner says Japan won't need to sell Treasurys into the crisis: "Japan is a very rich country and has a high savings rate and has the capacity to deal not just with the humanitarian challenge but also the reconstruction challenge they face ahead." 10 Comments
- Monday, March 14, 2011, 7:48 AM Post-quake/tsunami/ nuclear crisis, a flight to safety could drive investors to Treasurys just as insurers may sell Treasurys to raise cash to cover Japan's disaster costs. The bottom line is that there's no good way to know which way the market is going to go. 5 Comments [Global & FX]
- Thursday, February 17, 2011, 8:36 AM A massive staff of PhD's and sophisticated econometric models, what the Fed doesn't have is a track record that inspires confidence, says Caroline Baum. "A group that refuses to acknowledge the key role monetary policy played in fueling ... serial bubbles, Fed officials want us to believe that this time they will get it right." 8 Comments [Global & FX]
- Wednesday, February 9, 2011, 10:31 AM Ben Bernanke still has the best toys in the neighborhood. The 2 year Treasury yield drops and the dollar sinks to new lows for the day as the Fed chief gives no indication he's considering backing away from QE. UUP -0.4%. UDN +0.4%. FXE +0.6%. Video feed here. 1 Comment [Global & FX]
- Tuesday, February 8, 2011, 8:53 AM "My fear is they're going to try to mop up all this excess money after the cow is out of the barn, after the inflation expectations have been formed," says Rep. Paul Ryan who believes the Fed is paying attention to the wrong indicators. Fed chief Bernanke testifies before the House Budget Committee tomorrow. 5 Comments
- Friday, January 28, 2011, 3:15 PM The Fed remains firmly stuck in 2009 as it looks through the rear view mirror to divine the path of the economy, according to Jeff Matthews. Bernanke and Co. would be better served and have a brighter outlook (and may start hiking rates) if they sat in on some conference calls. 3 Comments
