- Tuesday, October 9, 2012, 10:46 AM Optimism about the housing recovery continues to climb, according to Fannie Mae's September survey. A full 37% expect prices to rise over the next year, the highest percentage since the survey started in 2010. One for contrarian bond bears: With mortgage rates at all-time lows, those expecting higher rates over the coming year declined 7 points to 33%. 1 Comment [U.S. Economy]
- Tuesday, October 9, 2012, 7:32 AM A chart "that should scare every bond investor," the yield on the 10-year Treasury has slipped below the S&P 500 dividend yield. The last time it happened - for a brief period during the financial crisis - Treasury yields were about 100 basis points higher a few weeks later. 5 Comments [U.S. Economy]
- Tuesday, October 2, 2012, 8:18 AM JPMorgan's Treasury client survey shows a big bump in those short government bonds from 9% to 15%. The longs decline from 25% to 17%. Those neutral (the smart ones given that the Fed is in charge of rates across the curve) are at 68%. 2 Comments [U.S. Economy]
- Monday, September 24, 2012, 3:56 PM ProShares sets splits and reverse splits on 11 of its levered ETFs to try and bring the share prices back to levels more palatable to traders. Among those affected is a favorite of pain-seekers, the double-levered short 20+ Year Treasury fund (TBT), which will see a 1-for-4 reverse split on Oct. 4. 2 Comments
- Saturday, September 22, 2012, 10:02 AM An unmistakable trend is under way as investors cash in their bond ETF holdings and pour the money into stock funds. "A lot of fixed-income oriented people have decided to start chasing equities," says an ETF trader, as they fear being left behind by an equity market juggernaut (they already have been). Also seeing a rush are precious metals ETFs - the physical and the miners. 70 Comments
- Wednesday, September 19, 2012, 9:11 AM The Fed owns about half or even a majority of Treasurys across several different maturities along the yield curve. If we toss in holdings by China, Japan, and banks borrowing for free from the Fed, are there any real-money investors still holding U.S. government debt? 5 Comments [U.S. Economy]
- Saturday, September 15, 2012, 11:00 AM "Do you know what the loss would be on a 30-year Treasury if it went back ... just to the yield in force in 2011?" asks Jeff Gundlach, incredulous anybody would buy one (answer: 37%). If you need safety and yield, he says, buy Campbell Soup (CPB) instead. Listen to why the hot-shots at his firm would rather day-trade Facebook than divine the Treasury market. 48 Comments [U.S. Economy, Quick Ideas]
- Friday, September 14, 2012, 11:13 AM Richard Barley has a kind word for bonds (currently in the midst of a savage sell-off), saying the global growth outlook continues to be dismal despite the Fed and ECB. Could the curve get steeper still? Sure, but the date of any increase in short rates keeps getting pushed further into the future, which should help anchor the long end. 7 Comments [U.S. Economy]
- Friday, September 14, 2012, 10:09 AM More on Consumer Sentiment: Importantly, according to the report authors, the large gain was evenly split between the first and second halves of the month, suggesting continued gains into September. Panic hits the bond pits thanks to a combination of a Fed adding stimulus to an economy maybe not needing it. The long bond yield +13 bps to 3.06%. TLT -2.6%. 6 Comments [U.S. Economy]
- Friday, September 14, 2012, 7:21 AM Treasurys continue to get punished by the Fed, the 10-year note yield up 11 basis points to 1.83%. So much for Operation Twist - of which the stated goal is to lower long-term rates. Those who believe in the omniscience of the Fed will point to rising long-term rates as proving the QE announcement is already working. The FOMC should have done this months ago! 7 Comments [Global & FX]
- Thursday, September 13, 2012, 10:45 AM If the Fed announces a new QE program this afternoon, one could do worse than selling Treasurys. Bond yields have rallied sharply (very cool graphic here) after the past two QE efforts were launched. It was only after the Fed closed shop on its purchases that yields resumed sliding. It's simple, says Jeff Gundlach: QE is stimulative, therefore one should expect yields to rise while it is ongoing. 4 Comments [U.S. Economy]
- Tuesday, September 11, 2012, 5:04 PM More Gundlach: Another remarkable slide shows the 30-year bond yield in 1984 and in 2012. The long bond hit 14% in 1984 with inflation at 4% and falling - a real yield of 1000 basis points. Today, with inflation at 2.5%, the long bond yields just 2.85%. "The duration of the DoubleLine Total Return Fund is the shortest it's ever been." 2 Comments [U.S. Economy]
- Tuesday, September 11, 2012, 10:32 AM Buy Italian 3-year notes and sell U.S. 30-year Treasurys, suggests Bill Gross. With both yielding about 2.85%, it's about credit risk vs. duration risk. "Classic face-off. ECB vs. Fed. Winner? Italy." Comment! [U.S. Economy, Global & FX]
- Tuesday, September 11, 2012, 9:19 AM It's hard to believe this is happening given what's happened in the year since S&P downgraded the U.S., but the greenback and Treasurys both sell off following the Moody's warning of a possible cut in America's credit rating. The long bond yield rises 3.5 bps to 2.84%. The bull dollar ETF: UUP -0.5% premarket. 3 Comments [U.S. Economy, Global & FX]
- Monday, September 10, 2012, 7:38 AM The odds of additional Fed stimulus have risen to 99%, according to indicators tracked by Citigroup. Fingers in the wind, bond strategists have reduced their end-of-year 10-year Treasury yield forecast to 1.65% from 1.9% a month ago, perhaps forgetting past bouts of QE have sent yields higher, not lower. 6 Comments [U.S. Economy]
- Friday, September 7, 2012, 9:19 AM The 10-year Treasury yield dives 7 basis points to 1.6% following the weak payroll report. Bull market: When an asset quickly responds to the slightest bullish news and mostly shrugs off bearish data. TLT +0.7%, TBT -1.4% premarket. 2 Comments [U.S. Economy]
