FEDFUNDS trade ideas

Expectations for September's FOMCWhat do the markets care about this week? We have another CPI print on Wednesday, which is highly anticipated. We are in a period of nasty stagflation and the Fed is caught in a difficult position. They want to raise rates further, but the issue is that our cause of inflation seems to be on the supply chain side. Interest rates will do little to combat this. The NFP numbers Friday were pretty strong, so their case is strengthened to raise by at least 50bps in September, at the next FOMC. It will be almost a certainty if CPI comes in hot. Note that GDP came in contractionary for two quarters in a row, which is the definition most use for a recession. This stands somewhat at odds with the strong NFP numbers, which could be a seasonal fluke. If the data continues to indicate that we are in a recession, the Fed will eventually be forced to lower rates again. The markets seem to be weighing this reality before rallying with conviction.

Fed Funds RateThe chart above shows the Rate of Change (over a rolling 5-period) in the Fed Funds Rate. The parabolic Rate of Change is unprecedented, yet the Federal Reserve is just getting underway with quantitative tightening as it pledges to do whatever it takes to squash high inflation. It's hard to imagine the Fed can pull off a soft landing. Ironically, this looks like a chart of the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere over the past 800,000 years. We don't see any climate scientists saying not to worry because we can engineer a soft landing.

That's why the Fed needs to stop hiking before a system collapseThis is a quite interesting chart showing a ratio (black trend-line) of the Interest Rate, 5Y Yield and Federal Debt trading within a Megaphone pattern since the 1990s. Its (Higher) Highs have naturally coincided with peaks in Rate Hikes (red trend-line). The last peak was on October 2018 and currently the ratio just broke within that range again (red area). This shows that the Fed is on a timer and has only limited time to act and stop hiking before they jeopardize collapsing a system that is in place for three decades now and brings balance to the market. The S&P500 (blue trend-line) has seen great periods of growth and stability systemically with this in place as long as the Fed doesn't go off limits with hiking. Do you also think its time they act now and stop or at least ease this round of hiking before total collapse? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Please like, subscribe and share your ideas and charts with the community! --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

FED pivot to printing money?the fed pivot indicator We are at the point where the fed would usually halt rate hikes and begin easing again As they gear up for 75bp in a couple weeks, they would be knowingly blowing up the system This chart is essentially proxy for the acceleration rate of interest expense for the US government, and has been a reliable indicator of fed pivot for 30+ years as the fed has ensured the US doesn't enter a debt death spiral what is a debt death spiral? It's an increasingly large debt load, with ongoing deficit, that only gets exponentially larger as interest expense increases The treasury has to issue more bills/notes/bonds to fund interest which drives up supply and can overwhelm demand thus increasing interest expense even more as yields increase and this spirals out of control, with the only way to make payments being issuing even more treasuries For the past 33 years the fed has used monetary policy to ensure this spiral doesn't occur To avoid this, the fed will need to pivot soon otherwise they risk having to do even more easing and monetizing of debt down the road To keep this line 'inbounds' they need the middle of the curve to fall ~75bp between now and the 24th Or maybe they'll allow a brief spike above, and given the length of that chart, maybe 'brief' can be a number of months But as far as what would be normal fed behavior, we're at the tightening limit for interest rates not my post or idea, but i want to keep a record of it. follow the OG poster @thehappyhawiian

Effective Funds Rate Federal 6.25.22 Tracking this one. One reason I am pretty confident the swing is coming. I do not see a deflationary crash. I see the hyperinflation first. The crack up boom once the govts "pivot and start the brrrr full blast. Full "economic impact payments" aka UBI universal basic income. It is coming i am very confident as its already being experimented with in fully radical left run states. New Mexico , California are some examples. I know the narrative everyone is buying is a QT like no other. Problem is the repercussions are already being felt around the world. They are causing a global depression that will be unlike anything in human history if they follow their agenda , it will happen either way deflation /inflation. I. No , instead the Fed balance sheet continues to grow. Check it for yourself. Verify I expect all assets to continue to rip parabolically in the coming years . Look at the chart of gold/silver in Weimar. Huge rips. Huge crash. Huge rip higher. on and on. However it is simply a reflection of a loss of confidence and purchasing power of the once mighty dollar. THe game is soon over. CBDC roll out. It is ready. Crypto melt up coming. Stocks melt up. Gold/silver melt up. Basically anything that isnt a paper dollar. Soon they will stop creating physical fiat bc it will cost more to create it thn it is worth. Laugh. I've been talking about all this for years. Anyone who's followed knows me and you can track it all in my posts. Get ready if you arent . Get prepped. You cant eat crypto, gold , silver, or stocks. I wont lecture or ramble on but get your household ready. Hungry people are going to want what you have.

DXY could get as high as 122The correlation between the Federal Fund rate and the DXY. In fancy mathematical terms, let's assume to start with the function F(x)= USD, thereby we can assume that the DXY it's the first derivative of f(x)=USD, considering that the DXY has been built as the average index of all the other currencies exchange rate in proportion to the USD. So the first Derivative for f(X)= USD has been made with the DXY. In this instance, we could argue that the Federal Fund Rate becomes then the Second Derivative of F(X)=USD, with respect to DXY. Studying the second derivative behaviour, we could argue that in mathematical terms the 0% Federal Fund rate derives the Local Minimum for the d''f/dX^2 , in fact hiking interest rates starts to make the Federal Fund rate curve convex, otherwise Concave to the upside, thereby in graphic terms we can see that the 0% Federal Fund Rate= Local Minimum thereby the D''f/dX^2 starts to become positive from there. This can be reflected in the First derivative DXY, which shaped a Convex curve going to the upside that will tend to the Local Maximum, which could be DXY=122. So the function f(X)=USD would be increasing, which means a stronger U$Dollar.

Yields / Fed Funds / Rates / Inflation / 007s / TLT / ZN / ZBYou can't fix silly. You can't fix stupid. The Bond Market isn't going to fix anything, it assures ruin. ____________________________________________________ Buy the Dip hasn't quite worked out. TLT will head to Sub 52. You were warned long ago exactly what is happening would. And explained in no uncertain terms exactly why. DX back to 125? Yeah... it's how you end up in ruin. Europe first. TNX Yield times 2.81 - follow along or lose.

Federal Fund Rate's too low The tangent line to the Federal Fund Rate of the past two debt cycles has only one tangent point to the curve identifiable in geometrical terms to 1974 12.90% Federal Fund rate. To be clear what anyone can draw in geometrical terms as a tangent line to a curve, in math terms can be defined as the first derivative of the curve in that specific point. The fact that the last two decades Federal Fund rate curve have the same tangent line, i.e. the same derivative, as the 1974 Federal Fund rate, that only in visual terms can explain how misplaced are money markets interest rates and how dangerously far out the curve the Federal Fund rate has been squashed and compressed down. Taking into consideration the high Inflationary CPI and PPI data consistent for more than one year, and the considerable disruptions and shortages in all sorts of commodities and supply chains, the Stagflationary economic environment of 1974 could be easily replicated and repeated, with the only caveat that the Federal Reserve has increased of 25 basis points the Federal Fund Rate to 0.25%, thereby a lot more CPI and PPI Inflation are going to characterize the economy in the near term or years.
