Yield-curve

Yield CurveThe 2/10 treasury yield spread is quickly flattening and an inversion could happen soon. All of the previous yield curve inversions are associated with memorable market sell-offs and recessions. I believe the ripple effect of the ongoing financial and economic sanctions against Russia will end up being the catalyst for the next meltdown. The market conditions have been favorable to a disaster by many measurements for some time now. Again, there are many unknown cross-currents beginning to work their way into the global economy. On top of that, the FED is raising interest rates in less than two weeks.

🔥 Bonds Are Predicting A MASSIVE Crash 🚨The Bond Yield Curve, which can be calculated by substracting the US 2 Year bond yield from the US 10 Year bond yield, has been inversed for quite some time. An inversion of the bond yield basically means that bond traders require higher returns on short-term bonds than on long-term bonds, which translates to short-term bonds being more risky than long-term ones. This only occurs when bond traders anticipate an upcoming crisis. The inversion on itself is not necessarily bearish, but the "un-inversion" is very bearish. As seen on the white chart, once the line crosses the zero line from below, it has always predicted an upcoming crash. With the Bond Yield Curve recently seeing a strong "bullish" move, it's likely that we're going to hit 0% in the near future. Consequently, this signals that a market crash is on the horizon. Whether history will repeat remains to be seen. However, we had one of the strongest yield inversions in history, which doesn't bode well. Do you think that a crash is coming?

Yield Curve Bottom (10s minus 2s) This is called the "Steepener" trade and refers to a mean reversion in the yield curve. From current level of (-38 basis points, or -0.38%), I'm targeting a move back to 1.00%, or ~70bp, risking down to about (-45bp), or about (-13bp) downside. Yield curve steepeners seek to gain from a greater spread between short- and long-term yields-to-maturity by combining a “long” short-dated bond position with a “short” long-dated bond position, while a flattener involves sale of short-term bonds and purchase of long-term bonds. - CFA Institute

TREASURY YIELDS AND THE FED FUNDS RATEThis chart shows the effective federal funds rate in comparison to the 30 year and 3 month yield over the past five years. There are 5 interesting times to look at: 1. Late 2018 long term yields began to peak right before the fed stopped their hiking cycle. Yield curve began to flatten. 2. They then stayed put for about 6 months with the 3MY hovering right around the EFFR. Suddenly, the 3 month yield dips below the fed rate quickly - and they begin dropping their benchmark rate again . 3. Early 2020 the panic of the COVID-19 pandemic caused rates to nose dive and the fed to slash their rate all the way to 0% very quickly. 4. Fed did not raise rates for two years . In early 2022 they began to hike for the first time since 2018. This also coincides with the beginning of the Ukraine conflict. 5. Half a year of steady rate hikes makes it so the EFFR finally passes it's 2018 peak in mid 2022. The 30Y and 30M invert fairly soon after while the fed funds rate overtakes the 30Y yield. Feel free to discuss what you think of these relations and what your predictions are for the future. In my opinion, the more the yield curve inverts the more problems there will be in the financial system. Eventually, term risk will not outweigh the high short-term yields especially once the benchmark rate gets over the inflation rate. I see the fed doing what they are best ate - acting too late.

Recession warning on S&P500?The 2-year and 10-year Treasury yields inverted for the first time since 2019 . On Thu Mar 31st , the yield curve showed a possible warning signal that a recession could be happen at anytime, but the curve needs to stay inverted for a substantial amount of time before it gives a valid signal. People get excited about the yield curve because, historically it has been a good predictor of the onset of recession. Against a backdrop of searing inflation, Russia’s War in Ukraine and a commodity shock, the relentless flattening of the yield curve and its predictive qualities has market watchers on edge. Goldman Sachs Group Inc. sees the odds of a U.S. recession as high as 35% in the next year, while Grant Thornton’s Diane Swonk sees the twin blow of Fed tightening and higher oil prices potentially tipping the economy into a recession. The yield curve may serve Economists more than Investors, the key factor in the yield curve inversion is that, while it can often forecast darker days ahead for the economy, it is NOT a sell signal for those who invest in stocks

FX beacon- why AUD traders needs to focus on the US yield curve Lots of chatter in the market about the US yield curve headed ever closer towards inversion – clearly, much of this move has been driven by short-term rates which have seen 2yr Treasuries push to 1.19% (the highest since Feb 2020), with fed funds futures pricing close to 5 hikes through 2022. I have shown the US 2s v 10s spread, but US 5s v 30s is certainly getting smacked and at 43bp is probably the part of the curve that will invert first. So, if we know yield curves have been one of the best predictors of future economic stress and recessions, surely it makes sense that the AUD will co-vary with curve flattening? The AUD being a beacon of cyclicality and growth expectations. For fundamental traders, especially swing and certainly position traders, understanding what a currency pair is most sensitive to can help cultivate a short-term edge. If you know what to look at it can save you a ton of time, right? Well, we can look at Asian equity markets and see AUDUSD fairly well correlated here and we can take our pick of the Aussie yield curve over the US curve – however, in this exercise I see a solid relationship in play between the AUDUSD and US yield curve – it tells me if US long-end rates outperform and 10yr yields drop faster than short-term rates then the AUDUSD is headed below the 70-handle and the December swing low of 0.6993. For those trading the AUD, and who want to know why it's moving from A-B and what could cause it to go to C…the yield curve is your central guide right now.

The yield curve is supporting a crypto rallyCrypto started rallying after the halving, which coincided with long interest rates rising as the COVID-19 pandemic appeared in March 2020. By injecting massive amount of liquidities, the Fed was also sowing the seed for higher inflation. From mid-April 2021 to mid-July 2021, the rates took a break mid-way thru it's cycle. Lower interest rates means that the inflationnary pressuretook a pause, which manifested itself with the crypto market suffering a mid-cycle correction that we have seen since mid-May 2021. However, the crypto bull market is set to resume for the second half of 2021. Higher upcoming inflation expectations, along with higher interest rates is very bullish for crypto in general and should manifest itself with the pink squiggle I drew. I would expect the yield curve to touch the upper bound in the next couple months while crypto keeps rising in tandem. The yield curve will start inverting when the Fed will proactively raise the short interest rates and this is when the crypto bubble will peak / burst. But while central banks sleep on the switch and keeps inflation unchecked, this is very positive for crypto. Subscribe for more updates!
