Bond Yields Back To May Levels, Stocks Still Living In Bubble

Tyler Durden's picture




 

The capital rotation into bonds has started in earnest. In the meantime, a couple of robots are still trying to convince each other the equity bubble will be sustained in perpetuity by the Fed. SkyNet may soon be caught with its pants down.

A liquidity bubble drives up prices of all assets.

The source of Greenspan's "conundrum".

The Fed will pursue their failed policies to their ultimate conclusion - a destruction of the dollar and a balance of payments crisis the likes of which the world has never seen. They are actually forecasting goldilocks in the minutes that came out. Unreal.

The Fed has also being hurrying up on the MBS buying, which drives down Treasury yields.

ADP may not be deadly accurate (but it is arguably helpful in identifying the trend) lends credence to the over call.

I'm not understanding the "rotation" into bonds, especially 30 yrs.  Do people like the promise of freshly printed dollars years in the future at historically low yields?  One look at the U.S. balance sheet and I say no way.  You could just as easily have pointed out the "rotation" into gold today, which I understand a little better.

In a deflationary environment a 3.2% yield could be equal to an 8% or 10% real yield. Cash in the bank will have negative yield as it will be taxed as it is currently being proposed in Sweden.

I guess I should ignore the fact that we've already essentially had a soft default, that I will likely get paid in freshly printed FRNs, that there is no way in hell taxing the populace will generate the needed income to pay the debts, that the currency I'm being paid in is supported by increasingly dubious quality assets, or that I will be buying into the face of a never ending supply of treasuries for the next 10 years.

question: If Ben prints money (this fresh money backed by the taxpayer`s promise to pay the the bill in the future- which means tax increase) who is going to take credit to buy more crap....? Ponzi ponzi

Higher demand in bonds drives yields down.

S&P hasn't made any positive moves today.

Financials are selling off. Energy stocks continue the sell off.

Mining stocks are in fantasy lala land.

Deflation is good for price of gold but not goldminers or other miners.

Cool, let's now wait and see how credit spreads

are going to move. Banks, instead of restructuring,

have been respeculating in risky markets. It would

be nice to see XLF moving below 13.10 in the 

coming weeks. If we break that level, another

big sell off in financial stocks could take place.

I am of the mind that we are seeing a yield curve flattening much like we saw from '04 to '06.  What that says to me is that the powers that be are in fact successfully re-flating the bubble.  Commensurately that leads me to feel this is bullish for stocks. 

Eventually I think this could lead to a inverted curve with all the joys that portends.

But as an aside, with Treasuries as the ultimate bubble, isn't a meaningful move into said asset class showing that both bonds AND stocks are "still living in the bubble"?

Outright panic into fixed income today sent yields crashing again today:

TNX broke the 200-day with force:

Man, this is going to really piss off Grandma, who's money market account is now earning a paltry 14 basis points.

Do not underestimate the penchant for these old timers to start gambling, especially when they see things like gold stocks go up 7% in one day.

The stars seem to be aligning for a reversal. It also looks like we have the left shoulder and head in the index charts. I'm keeping my ammo dry until this bulls neck is officially broke.

Once DOW drops below 950-975 we will start to hear rumblings of second, or third, or fourth stimulus package, whatever number we are on this month.

RT, what do you make the dual breakouts in gold n bonds today? As someone who's messed w/gold and gold stocks for 30 yrs, but isn't a missionary, I'd say the gold breakout was more powerful. Still I'm not sure how to square it w/the bond move, somthins gotta give.

The gold price may be involved with retail buying in China and the Bank weaknesses. Last March, gold cranked when Citicorp was on its knees at like 95 cents. Exceptional financial distress and system failure. When the Commercial Reals hit home, it's bank failure after bank failure all over again.
Somebody thinks the banks are blown and buying gold and buying inverse financial ETFs.
Or its another shorting trap.

C'mon, we had huge move in Treasuries in past few days, yields are back to new normal (to desired levels) and we had drop in S&P of just 3,3%. You know 30yrs means 30 years to maturity so deflation will be present this year and maybe next but after that? It was never about equities (except for sentiment which is very important but not fundamental)it is about DEBT!
For example two years ago in CFA curriculum you had FNM and FRE as examples of riskless investments and then what happend?

SO GS made a call that by 2025 Chine will become No.1. world economy and if that happens what will be outcome for USD and 30yrs and 10yrs?
