Yields

How to play the Corona Virus from a macro perspectiveI am not a virologist, but I understand sentiment and a large part of my trading is looking at where people are overly fearful and where they are too complacent (at a basic level)... It's why I use Twitter so much. It's a great sentiment resource. If you were to do a search for Corona Virus on Twitter, 90% of people are bricking it. But step away from that and you find that people are still going to work, there's only small columns in newspapers talking about it and there's little mention of the amount of people the Influenza (flu) virus kills each year... This will sound crude, harsh and morally reprehensible, but I said to to people that follow me this morning that we want to be selling AUDJPY as a risk proxy (and because the Japanese 10 year is in for a rally, and AUDJPY follows the Japanese 10y yield, paradoxically) and to be taking some off with each new death toll announced, which seems to be revised every few days. As each death toll is announced, we get a greater understanding of the severity, which leads to a greater pricing of risk, and therefore, flattening of volatility. I always say, be aggressive when vol picks up and reduce your position when it flattens. Rinse and repeat, until another big theme emerges. I think the understanding of risk and trade management through the understanding of volatility is one that flies many by... So if you'd like to know how to better manage trades in this fashion, don't hesitate to shoot me a PM!

ORBEX: Investors Brush-Off USMCA Headlines! Softening Dollar?JGB yields brushed off USMCA headlines yesterday and took a positive turn above the zero mark! JGB's haven't been positive since March 2019! Is this hinting that investors turn optimistic on global economies? Or just a shot-lived surge own to auction? Supported by impeachment uncertainty and poor US data yen rose against the greenback yesterday, however, the pound continued sliding on the back of no-deal risks. Will the US and UK GDP figures change the short-term outlook? Canadian retails are also due and they could be causing some short-term moves. Will they help loonie strengthen further?

US 10-Year Yields Continue to RiseAs global financial markets continue to grind higher and reach new highs, it appears that yields on the US 10-Year Treasury are doing the same. Yields broke through their previous yearly high of 1.899% (Green Resistance Line), settling at 1.943% (as of Nov 10th), and are trying to make a move higher. On a technical basis, yields seem to be forming an "Ascending Triangle" pattern, supported by a rising RSI and MACD, indicating that this recent uptrend has some legs to stand on. This recent bullish action comes as investors are beginning to feel a little bit more optimistic about the global environment as 2019 comes to a close. If 1.899% can hold as a steady short term support for yields, and its momentum continues, the next stop could be its Weekly Resistance Line of 2.042% (Orange Line).

10 Year T Note: Triple Bottom. Major long term Buy Opportunity.The 10 year has rebounded off the major 1M Support this month, making a statement with last week's strong 1W candle. This marked a Triple Top formation on the 1M scale (since 2012) and the trend shift becomes obvious. 1D is trading near overbought territory (RSI = 70.811) pushing the 1W towards neutrality (RSI = 42.781, ADX = 58.406, Highs/Lows = 0.0000), detaching it from its previous bearish levels. We are expecting a major cyclical bullish move in the next 2+ years towards at least 32.00. Shorter term investors should look towards the inner Channel Up (dashed lines) for pivotal sell/ buy entries. ** If you like our free content follow our profile (www.tradingview.com) to get more daily ideas. ** Comments and likes are greatly appreciated.

10 year T Note: New long term bull cycle emerging?TNX has been trading within a 1M Channel Down since 2000 up until January 2018 when it broke the pattern upwards. The mini uptrend found Resistance on the MA200 and has been declining for the past 7 months. We are currently on the most support tests of all, as it has touched the 2000 Channel's Lower High trend line and will test it as a Support for the first time. If that provides a bounce then we may be at the very beginning of a new very long term bull cycle. A Golden Cross formation should come as confirmation. ** If you like our free content follow our profile (www.tradingview.com) to get more daily ideas. ** Comments and likes are greatly appreciated.

Meaningful low set?On the technical side the minimum targets for a Vth wave flattening trend that started since 2011 have been met. This completed sequence show's there is plenty of room to steepen over the coming Quarters. So far we have seen wave A and B of an incomplete ABC. Well done all those who are riding the 'C' leg with us. Best of luck to those who are positioned for the next two levels of interest at 116/117. The biggest picture would suggest there is even more upside over time.

The Yield Curve of the US Free Markets 10Y-30Y Combination CaseThe Yield Curve of the Free Markets ... 10Y-30Y Combination Case.. - US Bonds maturities of 10 Year and 30 Year (long maturities) are mostly influenced by free market participants and not by the FED Funds ... at present time they are not tightening as most combinations based on more short maturities. The indicator in the chart, the combination 10Year-30Years is steepening, sending a different message a possibility of expanding the duration of current economic cycle.

Gold target range 15000-45000 USD: fundamental discussionThis chart depicts the gold price in dollar for the next decades. As a background it is highly recommended to view my idea here: This chart depicts the US gold reserves divided by the interest on debt. The interest on debt is calculated as a proxy by multiplying the 10 year interest rate with the total federal debt. Whether this is accurate or not is not so important as we just want to compare this ratio with its historic values. It is important to note that official US gold reserves have remained unchanged since the closing of the gold window in the early 70's. This metric has risen and fallen quite a bit. First this metric rose during the stagflation of the late 70's. The gold reserve of 262 million ounces hit a high of 222 billion whilst the yield did a first peak to 13.5% with the debt, barely over 900 billion our proxy interest was about 120 billion and thus the gold reserve was almost able to pay it off twice. It is my belief that the rise in gold prices and with it the value of the US gold reserves is what cooled the debt market causing it to revert course into a 4 decade long bull. Interest rates plummeted, federal debt rose faster, and gold also went down in price. At the turn of the century gold found itself trading at 290 dollar, the gold reserve reduced to 76 billion, the US debt grown to close to 6 trillion and the treasury rate reduced but at times peaking to close to 7%, the ratio hit a low of just 0.2 years of interest on debt that could be paid by the gold reserve. The next 11 years were marked with a continuing of the bond bull run whilst also gold rallied to a new all time high. By 2011 and 2012 the ratio hit close to 2 years again thanks to gold trading at 1800 and the yield as low as 1.5%. Since then, rising yields and declining gold prices have hit this ratio back to about the middle range. Technically, not much can be said where we go from here so we'll have to take a look at the fundamentals. While multiplying the 10yr with the debt is a nice workaround to picture the interest on debt by tradingview the real interest on debt is more difficult to compute. The US debt consists of bonds with various denominations running from 30 year bonds to bonds with maturities of less than 1 year. This means that of the 30 year bonds, most have been issued in the 1990's and 2000's and the interest paid on them is the yield of those bond at the time of issuing. In fact the 30 year bonds that are maturing today have been issued exactly 30 years ago with a yield of almost 9%. When they mature, they are rolled over in new bonds that -even if we had a small tick upwards in the last couple of years) - have a significantly lower interest of just over 2%. The same holds for 10 year bonds which 10 years ago had a yield of 3-4% vs 2.6% today. This effect is what caused the actual interest on debt (www.treasurydirect.gov) to not even double from 214 billion/year in 1988 to just 402 billion/year as recent as 2015 whilst the federal debt exploded over 20 fold from 900 billion to 19 trillion dollars. However, all good stories must come to an end and this one is no different. The bond market has been topping out for the better part of a decade now and yields have seen some upward momentum. This has meant that a lot of treasury auctions saw the treasury forced to roll over their 5, 3 and 1 year bonds into new bonds with a higher yield than the old one. Whilst the treasury can steer and man-oeuvre a little bit by opting to sell short term bonds when yields are high and long term bonds when yields are low there is ultimately no escape from market reality. This has become clearly evident from the last prints of interest expenses on debt outstanding that have risen with 9.1% per year for the last 3 years and show now signs of abating with another 8.6% rise for the first five months of this financial year. This is in stark contrast with the 2.36% increase of the previous 27 years. I would venture to guess that if nothing is done on a policy level to tackle the accumulating debt and rock the bond markets gently to sleep once more we will enter a spiral of increased debt issuance met with stable or declining demand which will push up yields which in turn will create the need of issuing more debt. This viscous circle will only end through a spectacular rise in the price of gold. In a previous analysis I had already outlined a possible scenario of the 10 yr yield hitting its magnet level of 7% by 2025. Given the current debt of 22 trillion, which is increasing at 1 trillion a year, it seems likely that by the start of 2025 we will be looking to a national debt in excess of 30 trillion dollar. At a ratio of 1.8 for our gold reserve to interest expense on debt ratio we learn that the US gold reserve should be valued at 3.8 trillion dollars. For this gold would need to rise to at least 14500 dollar. If for some reason the debt markets stay irrational for a very long time before going in overdrive it could very well be that the US ends up with a 50 trillion dollar debt by 2035 when this scenario fully comes to fruition. In such a scenario I see no reason to expect that the 10 yr yield would only stay limited to 7% but could easily hit the 1980 value of 13.5% again. In order to calm the debt markets at these yields and these levels of debt gold would have to rise to about 45000 dollar to repeat the 1980 scenario. Hold on to your horses.

Yield explosionThe yield curve is still in a bear market. Downward trending resistance at 3.1% Once that is broken, it could easily go up to 7% which will act as a magnet due to it being a historical support line (1973-1992) and resistance (1992-2000). This would be disastrous for the US government as interest on debt would rapidly rise. More fundamental reasons of why the yield curve would go up is off course the US debt which is absurdly high. There is no reason for lenders to keep lending at these low yields. Russia stopped doing it and sold all US treasuries, China stopped doing it and now that the babyboomers are retiring they are stopping as a buyer as well. Soon only the fed will be a buyer of these bonds. Long term up is the only way to go for yields and the road is open until 7%. This would cause a panic since the US will have it very difficult to service the debt without creating more bonds, enlarging the supply. Very good news for gold (65% of the monetary reserve of the US) which could be doing extremely well just as it did in the 1970's
