TIP off... Just want to show an anomaly observed here... sort of a tip off on what is most likely to happen. You see, I read Russell Napier's Anatomy of the Bear back in 2009 (not easy to get it as it is out of print!), and he describes TIP as one of the/a leading indicator ahead of the equity market. Superimposed on the TIP daily chart is the SPY (blue line), NASDAQ (cyan line). You can see that it does lead the SPY and NASDAQ. However, there is a deviation from the pattern since two weeks ago. TIP has been falling hard, and the technical indicators are all bearish no doubt; but the SPY has been cranking upwards, furthermore so the NASDAQ. So, here is the deal... either TIP rockets back up, or the equity markets dive down. Which would it be, you think???

The US debt ceiling - A path to inevitable market volatilityThe US debt ceiling should be firmly on the radar and getting an understanding of the risks it poses could help us better recognise the trades which could serve us well. It is incredibly painful for all market participants, but it can radically alter our trading environment and reverse the low volatility regime, we have found ourselves in recently. Like most of the traders I speak to we know the debt limit will be lifted; it must be – the question is when we get the volatility, and what will be the duration and to what extent. Understand the ‘X-date’ The issues at hand are incredibly complex – most public policy experts and economists when they work together struggle to have any conviction on forging an exact date around when the US Treasury’s funds will be so depleted that they must prioritise essential outgoing payments – these include social security, Medicare, Medicaid, veteran payments, and its debt obligations. This ‘X-date’ is critical in our ability to time debt ceiling trades (and hedges) and as it stands both Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen and the non-partisan CBO have said it's early June. The sell-off in US Treasury bills maturing over this date suggests the market puts faith in this call. What the market is looking at closely is the Treasury’s daily cash balances, which can be found here - fsapps.fiscal.treasury.gov . As it stands, the US Treasury (UST) Department has $215b in the kitty, but this will be drawn down as we head to June and perhaps even below $50b. This would be worryingly low, especially as in the first two weeks of June we understand that the UST must make a $80-100b payment for social security and Medicare. You’ll hear a lot about ‘prioritisation’ in the coming weeks and this is where the UST must make choices on which payments to make – it is highly political. There will be a huge hit to confidence if 58m Americans don’t get their social security and both the Democrats and Republicans will be keen to avoid that at all costs. Can Treasury make it to 15 June? If the UST can make it to 15 June, then they will receive a boost from corporate tax inflows and then a chunky maturity from a maturing investment fund in late June. I guess if we still haven’t seen an agreement by then, they then draw down on these funds and we start to consider what payments may be missed and the impact on economics through July. The big issue, in a word – ‘growth’. Either certain payments are missed and that significantly impacts consumer and business confidence, at a time when US economics is already fragile and the US is headed towards recession. Or we see an agreement, that despite the Democrat's strong disdain for spending cuts, includes measures which could be a drag on growth. What happens in a technical default? The idea that we may see the UST miss a payment on its bond obligations is the elephant in the room. The UST will look to defend this above all else – Biden has even stated he will use the 14th Amendment and strong arm a lift in the debt ceiling – an extreme measure and one that will see conservative Republicans taking legal action. He made talk of it in the prior session, so we know it's on the table. If it even looks like a technical default, or best coined as a deferred payment, is on the cards – then markets will light up – I’d say the markets are pricing this possibility at around 4-5% at this stage. UST bills are already showing stress and Treasury auctions of late have been poor – no none is buying T-bills that mature in June and why would they? If you hold this paper and the UST can't pay on maturity you need that cash – US bills are the highest form of collateral and the knock-on effects through markets would be huge. Fitch has already said they will downgrade the US credit rating and as we saw in 2011 most of the risk aversion came after S&P downgraded the US rating to AA+. Making matters worse is the fact there is that the path to negotiate is so tight – with the recess calendar for the Senate, House and Biden’s own schedule, there are JUST 7 days to get this down. Knowing the REP’s have a 4-seat advantage in the House gives them very little room to and if a bill is put to the floor, it will fail if 4 of the 222 REP votes against it – it will be shot down straight away. A rabbit needs to be pulled out of the hat. I see 5 actions playing out: 1. Congress agrees on a short-term extension to raise the debt limit to Sept or Oct. 2. We see an agreement to raise the debt ceiling on the X date, potentially extending for 2 to 3 years. 3. We hit the X date with no agreement and depending on cash on hand, Treasury may have to prioritise payments until 15 June, potentially impacting economics. 4. Treasury muddle through to July before cash levels deplete and must prioritise payments in July. 5. If the US looks destined to miss a bond payment the President uses the 14th Amendment to solve the Debt Ceiling. I am seeing some signs of hedging activity in S&P500 options, with S&P 1-month put/call implied vol ‘skew’ on the rise. Some have focused on a spike in US credit default swaps (CDS), and we’ve seen UST bills blowing up, but our core markets are yet to react – it’s still too early to buy JPY, CHF or gold just yet. In 2011 – which is our best-case study – the JPY, CHF and gold were the best hedges, with traders piling into short US bank exposures. I see those working well this time around too, but with the Fed having 5.25% to play around with on the fed funds rate and QT still in play, if we start to head past the ‘X date’ without signs of reconciliation and the USD will be taken down. Like everyone else we know the debt ceiling will be raised – it must be – but it doesn’t mean we can’t have a solid bit of volatility in between.

Opportunity for the altseason To date, the market has consolidated after a monthly pullback and there are new opportunities for growth for individual coins to turn the weekly candle into a bullish one. Unfortunately, the topcoins did not check the support with daily pinbars, as we would like, and were delayed, which greatly reduces the further growth dynamics. However, the goals are still 2250-2500 on the ETH and 32.5-35k on the BTC, and there should be at least a second attempt to grow on the retest of the previous week. But the most attention is now attracted by the dominance of bitcoin. The powerful level of 47.5% was successfully broken through and there is a trade around the intermediate 47.25. In the case of a departure below and especially a breakdown of 46.75, there is a high probability of a stable trend with test targets of 44, 43.5, 42.5 and a possible departure below by the end of the year. Even against the background of sluggish dynamics of the tops, such a decrease in dominance will give the violas an opportunity to double-check the hai. If the fall of dominance is superimposed on a new wave of top growth, then we will see very powerful breakouts on the alt. While I continue to work with uft pros vib cvp torn perl for pnt ooki and asr atm fantokens, which retain the highest technical goals for growth. Today, torn has every chance to turn the weekly candle into a bullish one again in the 12.5-13.5 area with sufficient volatility.

Bank outflow vs Money Market Fund inflowThe bank deposit outflow started since the Fed tightening cycle from March last year until now but got triggered more after the banking crisis a couple of weeks ago. Most of the deposit outflow ended up in the Money market fund assets, of which 80% are US T-bills, cash, or repos collateralized by government securities. This flee-to-safety trend triggered a buy in those government securities and pushed T-yields back in the last couple of weeks. Suppose this deposit-drain trend continues as the Fed keeps focusing on inflation and raising the terminal rate above 5% and keeps it till the year's end. In that case, there are risks for small and medium-sized banks that they will later have to correct their mistakes by aggressively easing the rate. However, in the short term, this downward repricing for treasury yields may continue for a while as long as the deposit-drain trend stops, and it supports gold for the time being, but I don't think this will last for long and Gold is going to correct itself till the end of the year.

Bond Market Signals Potential Trouble for the Federal ReserveIn recent weeks, the bond market has been sending a strong signal to the Federal Reserve: it may be making a serious mistake. The yield curve, which measures the difference in interest rates between short-term and long-term bonds, is currently more inverted than it has been since the early 1980s. An inverted yield curve occurs when short-term interest rates are higher than long-term interest rates. This can be a cause for concern because it can indicate that investors are expecting economic growth to slow in the future. When investors expect the economy to slow, they are less likely to lend money for long periods of time, leading to higher interest rates on short-term bonds and lower interest rates on long-term bonds. The current yield curve inversion has many experts worried. In the past, an inverted yield curve has often been a reliable predictor of a recession. In fact, every recession in the past 50 years has been preceded by an inverted yield curve. One reason for the current inversion may be the Federal Reserve's recent interest rate hikes. The Fed has raised interest rates several times in recent years in an effort to prevent the economy from overheating. However, these rate hikes may have had the unintended consequence of slowing economic growth. Despite the potential risks, experts believe that the current yield curve inversion may not be as concerning as it seems. They argue that other factors, such as the strong job market and low unemployment rate, suggest that the economy is still in good shape. In the end, only time will tell if the bond market's concerns are justified. However, the Federal Reserve will need to closely monitor the situation and be prepared to take action if necessary to prevent a potential recession.

US Dollar Index ForecastDemand for the dollar is usually high as it is the world's reserve currency. Other factors that influence whether or not the dollar rises in value in comparison to another currency include inflation rates, trade deficits, and political stability. The dollar has been gaining strength against the currencies of other major economies. The dollar is strong because the US economy is healthier than those of many other countries and because the Federal Reserve keeps raising interest rates. Does the dollar get stronger with higher interest rates? But the overriding reason for the strong dollar is the fight against inflation. The Federal Reserve is ratcheting up interest rates to attack the current near-constant rise in prices and said last week it expects more hikes this year. As it continues to raise rates, the dollar will strengthen. <-- https:// tradingeconomics.com/ united-states/ interest-rate ---> How do bond yields affect the dollar? Bond yields actually serve as an excellent indicator of the strength of a nation's stock market, which increases the demand for the nation's currency. For example, U.S. bond yields gauge the performance of the U.S. stock market, thereby reflecting the demand for the U.S. dollar. <--- https:// ycharts.com/indicators/ 10_2_year_treasury_yield_spread --->

GOLD & US10YFundamental: 10/17/2022 | 06:28 The price of gold rose on Monday after falling more than 1% in the previous session as a pause in the dollar's rally eased pressure on green-priced bullion, although looming U.S. rate hikes have limited additional earnings. The Dollar Index remained stable, while benchmark 10-year US Treasury yields eased away from the 14-year high hit last week. "Gold has rallied slightly from Friday's low, but buyers are lacking conviction, which looks more like a technical repositioning," said City Index analyst Matt Simpson. “The US Dollar and yields will be a key driver for gold, and if they continue to rise, then a move and test of $1600 is likely only a matter of time.” Consumer sentiment improved further in October, but inflation expectations deteriorated a bit, keeping expectations of another 75 basis point rate hike intact. Gold is very sensitive to rising US rates, which increases the opportunity cost of holding non-performing gold. Holdings of SPDR Gold Trust, the largest gold-backed exchange-traded fund, fell 3.18 tonnes on Friday, their biggest one-day outflow since September 26. US retail sales held steady in September, against all expectations. Gold is very sensitive to rising US rates, which increases the opportunity cost of holding non-performing gold.

There's a positive correlation between BOND PRICE and GOLD PRICE (safe-haven assets) but a negative correlation between BOND YIELD and GOLD PRICE because of opportunity costs. US10Y is reaching the 3.957% point which could lead to a rebound on the resistance resulting on the increase of the price targeting (at least) the 4.000 %.

Forecast US10YGood day everyone! Don't forget to put your thumbs up and write your comment if you like the idea The bar for 10-year Treasuries has been broken. The 10-year Treasury yield has broken the trend at 3.8%. In fact, this opens the way for growth to indicators in the range of 4.5-4.6%. There are elections in November, and we need to show at least some effect from measures to combat inflation. This is the main task. Well, what's next? Let's assume that we managed to somehow stabilize the situation with inflation (actually or by manipulating statistics is another question) by achieving a target rate of around 4.5%. Let the economy go into recession. And, after some time, start the cycle of lowering the rate again and pulling the economy out of recession? The current rates were in 2008, and the values ​​were 4.5% in 2007. And the Fed had enough of this "reserve" in reducing the rate for almost 14 years. DISCLAIMER: The opinion of the author may not coincide with yours! Keep this in mind and consider in your trading transactions before making a trading decision.
