10 Year Note Yield - Short / Intermediate Duration Inflation has been mispriced in excess of 16 months. The Federal Reserve should have begin to reduce Liquidity by Mid 2020 as Fiscal Stimulus had taken effect into July into September when Fiscal Stimulus began Peak. The Fed's Balance Sheet continued to expand with the Purchase of RMBC/MBS/UST/Corp. Debt, while Shadow operations under FASB 56 continued to increase nearly matching the Fed's accumulated Holdings. $8 Trillion in combined Net exposures, provided outsized gains for Equities. Bonds began a revolt in early 2021, only to see the Fed step up and employ YCC in early April, attempting to stem the fastest rising rates in US History. The Fed and US Treasury can control all Points on the Yield Curve as the Buyer of last resort. Clearly, the Short End used to require far less effort when re-fundings were under 30 Months. This is no longer the case, as they expand funds from 5-7s out to the '30s where we have seen multiple "Auction Failures". Buyers simply refused to participate. A Creep effect begins to enter the equation with respect to expectations. The Long End of the Curve begins to flatten, traditionally indicating a recession ahead according to conventional Bond Wisdom. And therein is the issue, this is not the 1970s and StagFlation is not the Environment. We are within an Inflationary Depression and have been for some time by any real and credible Metric. Economic Activity began to lag in Q1 2021, by Q2 the results were Peak consumption for the US Consumers. It will be downhill for into Q3 and worsening into Q4 as we indicated in July, all metrics were showing clear signs of another Global Slowdown as occurred in Q2/Q3 2019. Excess Capacity was quietly, but quickly becoming underutilized, as well as under-reporting of Global Economic prospects. ____________________________________________________________________________ For 2022, I see a rapid and substantive decline gaining Momentum. Economic Activity was pulled forward into 2021. Inflation Numbers need to be brought to heel with BLS Recalc for Inflation, taking effect in January 2022. This extraordinary measure will fail. The headline Numbers adjusted by this tampering will not change Prices Paid. Malcontent - the result as What is purported and Reality will diverge to create further distrust and increasing Loss of Confidence - Quickly compounding. Quietly, absolutely not... as Monetary Policy will not be alone as the "Build Back Better" Fiscal Policy has been delayed. Further Stimulus down the road... only serves to compound the problem and stave off the Pitchforks and Lanterns. _____________________________________________________________________________ Covid Variants continue to expand - 19/ Epsilon / Delta / Omicron / New Variant TBA The Fed indicated in their most recent FOMC Meeting Minutes and Press Conference, Omicron is an "Uncertainty" and why the FED called it out within their Policy Statement. Indicating the US Economy could handle the "Omicron" Variant at present while acknowledging the FED is a "Long Way from knowing what it will turn out to be..." "It is unclear on how the New Variant would suppress Demand and Supply." "Wave upon wave, people are learning to live with this..." Vaccinations, according to the Raven reduce the "Economic Effect." Timeline for Variant assessment - 3 to 6 Weeks... Omicron doesn't really have an impact on the Taper as the Chair wants participants to believe. _______________________________________________________________________________ The Stock Market is and is not the Economy - it depends on which way the wind is blowing. A Northern Gale changes arrangements, this is what the Raven is laying the groundwork for into Q1. An overextended Credit based Financial Economy has a great number of hurdles ahead in addition to a Central Bank which may or may not embark on further meddling. That is immaterial to a larger extent as Global Markets for DEBT are Tightening at a time when the compound effect of all Economic activity is waning... instructs us all as to how "intent" will reprice DEBT / Inflation / Expectations and Sentiment. __________________________________________________________________________________ Factors that lead to growth in 2021... the plug is being pulled. Q4 rebound is a seasonal pattern, and yet Holiday sales will prove to have been DISMAL. The Dollar remains at risk to the upside, clearly holding its own, the Dollar will move higher at least to 100. ___________________________________________________________________________________ The Fed can do plod along - Markets will adjust as they permit the Net Drag to do their work for them. ___________________________________________________________________________________ Regional BAnks are showing two consecutive quarters of Savings Drawdown from Q3 thru Q4. ___________________________________________________________________________________ The Inflation/deflation debates have always amused me as an Economist. This is best framed within the context of Credit Malfeasance again the expansion of Moore's Law to an Exponential Function. Technology is deflationary, it reduces a great many Economic functions while increasing efficiencies in ways, most fail to understand. Monetary Policy is the Inflation component with an added twist, the Supply Shocks and shortages due to the Shut Down of the Global Economy. An extraordinary time in Humanity's History. This will be discussed at length in follow-on commentary. _____________________________________________________________________________________ Moral hazards abound and are plentiful at precisely the wrong time.

10 Year Note Yield - 2%+ Ahead Into June - AugustThe Price Objective remains 2.28%. Beyond sewing the usual seeds of discontent, observe the Larger Monthly Indications. The above Chart is of extreme importance, it demonstrates how Capital Stocks begin to turn, Glacial at first, as Momentum builds, they begin to accelerate. This will end up a 4 or 5 part series discussing the potential impacts. _____________________________________________________________________________ Price has broken above 2 Key Downtrends. It is attempting to reach the 3rd, which has acted as resistance for years. This is a material change in the underlying Bond Market Note Structure. It is no longer the conventional depository for Principal and Coupon as a great many believe. ______________________________________________________________________________ Capital Stocks are in need of review: Real Estate - the Hybrid / Principal and Coupon (Rents) A Negative correlation to Higher Rates with cascading effects to Higher Rates. A 70% increase in Conventional and Jumbo Mortgage Rates would see a 18 to 24% drop in the Price of Residential Real Estate. Equities - the Buyback / Prop where Corporate Debt is used for Buybacks Increased borrowing Costs temper Buybacks, Inflows do not. This is a double edged sword we will discuss in detail. Bitcoin - The repository (Not Depository) for excess Liquidity. BTC has a Positive correlation to rising Rates. BTC has a Price Objective near $137K at the extreme extensions for Rates of the 10 Year Note Yield. Bills / Notes / Bonds / - Debt instruments with attendant Hybrid function of Principal / Coupon. ______________________________________________________________________________ Bonds (prior to 2006) were traditionally a function of the Business Cycle which has been supplanted by the Credit Cycle (no longer a Cycle by appearances). Prior to 2008 Congress would pass a Bill in the Legislature, after speaking with the US Treasury to determine how to "Finance" its Fiscal requirements. Once the Bill was passed and signed into Law, the US Treasury would conduct operations with the Federal Reserve Central Bank in New York to issue the increased Credit/Debt (The FED taking their statutory 6% issuance) to the US Government. Bills, Note and Bonds would be placed with Primary Broker Dealers (Fed Member Banks) and offered at "Auction" to the Public, Institutions, exogenous Central Banks, Funds, Swaps and overnight Swaps for shorter duration T-Bills sweeps. This funding mechanism for DEBT no longer exists. FASB 56 - took the Governments Budgets and Funding "Dark" as a "Matter of National Security". The General Purpose Federal Financial Reports are Classified Documents. The material Facts of FASB 56 - files.fasab.gov 13 Short Pages well worth educating one's self as to how the Government conducts itself. TARP/TALF were undisclosed Operations which maintained their Shadow Financing for years. 94% of Americans were against Commercial Bank Bailouts. Privatizing Gains while publicly subsidizing losses was viewed with extreme displeasure. ___________________________________________________________________________________ Over the past 14 Year, we see the outcome(s) - Interventions in Auctions by the Federal Reserve, Yield Curve Control, the Outright Purchase of RMBS/MBS again (this began in 2004 in size as the Federal Reserve's concerns over Real Estate began to mount). The FED has become the buyer of Last Resort - currently @ $8.758 Trillion in Assets of which $8.296 are "Securities" - this excludes "Shadow Operations" of FASB 56. In less than 2 years, the Federal Reserves Balance Sheet rose from $4.212 Trillion to more than Double that amount (NET of Shadow Operations) I estimate Shadow Operation under FASB 56 to be in excess of $3.8 Trillion - this excludes the Trillions missing from the Federal Coffers @ DOD, HUD and a great many other Agencies. _________________________________________________________________________________ Follow - On commentary will begin breaking down the Trends and discuss the potent outcomes and timeframes for each Capital Stock. There is a large amount of information to be discussed, requiring a methodical analysis of all points on the outcome curve. More to follow - HK

TNX - Zimbabwe / YCC / Capital Stock / Melt Up / FX - ECB BOJ EUBonds are at a Critical Juncture. Unable to serve their function due to YCC we are now staring down the Crack the Boom Phase V.5 Not much is functioning correctly... not remotely. _______________________________________________ We are quickly becoming Zimbabwe. Of the 3 Capital Stocks, Equities may well end up the catch-all bucket and Melt Up in Violent Fashion. By appearances, the Equity Complex itself is the remaining capital Stock for the Inflation Trade. Real Estate is immobile, illiquid and the Bond Market remains on the Path of Destruction. Both DOA in Real Terms. If you did not believe this earlier, perhaps now... The Raven has made it clear you will lose 2x as quickly. Welcome to Zimmy World akin to Waterworld but we are afloat in a Sea of Sharks feeding on the remaining viable, liquid - Equity Complex. McC OSC's are deeply in negative for all Indices - DEEP. They declined yesterday as the ES NQ YM RTY all reversed. Frankly, horrifying as What is, is not what should be as the Flamingo's Sports Book has gone into DeFib Mode. ___________________________________________________ They are using the Recalc to extend and pretend, a concern we expressed would be a game-changer, it now is realized. Yes, the Indices are grossly overbought and could face a reversal... Maybe... A great deal will depend on how committed Everyone is to the Zimbabwe Trade. ___________________________________________________ Sad, pathetic, destructive - yes. It is what it is, be prepared for complete Insanity. It's beginning. Powell made it quite clear, repeatedly clear - the Focus and cover is labor. Rates... the slide in 2 for 2022, lied, of course, then added potentially 3, then mentioned 2024... The FEDs #1 Mandate is Price Stability... # 2 Full Employment. Raven went all in by not mentioning Mandate #1, they abandoned it. It isn't Transitory - it is the way, Instability. Both are now a joke so depressing, it warrants consideration as to what they are truly after. It is quite simple - protect their own. It disgusts me to write this, but I'd be remiss in not doing so. _____________________________________________________ The Only thing that can upend this insidious trend is Yields. Flattering to Inversion on the Short End will take time. Equity Complex Extensions to follow in Commentary.

TNX - Creating Issues Set your Clock by it... The 007s begin their Ghost Stories at Highs. Within mere hours of our 2 favorites Bond Stand-Ins - Moore and Dalton. TNX wakes up. TLT drops $4. Whenever Shevchenko and Dino begin another series of rants, it is a SELL. The "Wood Paneling" Indicator has never failed. It remains 100%. __________________________________________________________________ Since July I have suggested there is no "Safety" Trade in Reality, for Bonds. It remains hitched to prior paradigms. For reasons, repeated enough times to not require further repetition, sanguine. My heart says Michelada, but it's Sangria today. ___________________________________________________________________ The Federal Reserve remains the Ultimate Bagholder, their balance sheet continues to Hold steady. Why? How come? Wassup there? There remains a need to Feed. The FED is going to raise rates, accelerate the Taper to ~$30 Billion for MBS and UST's. Ideally, they want to conclude the shortest Taper in History by March. 3 Rate Hikes are confirmed for 2022, a 4th in discussion as Forward Guidance on Inflation is dismal... 20 to 25% for 2022 for starters. ______________________________________________________________________ The Answer is wrong again. Unsure how mass delusions perform any longer as they have stretched my imagination beyond what I considered sane, probable... possible, of course. My mind has more stretch marks than my waist. Remarkable times.

TNX - The Event we've been waiting for since July We have repeatedly indicated the "Everything Must Go Sale" would begin once we saw 10 Year Note Yields Cross 1.645 and then move beyond 1.71 to 1.76 and onto 2.12% All asset Classes being sold is NOT something the Majority of Investors remotely understand or believe it possible. Preferring Correlations and Inverse Correlations to remain the Norm. It isn't and the September Sell-off appears to have been forgotten. Not surprising, memories are short, convictions are strong. Price does not care what you "believe" - rather it demonstrates the convictions of your beliefs. Belief in the 11X Bond Complex... remains at all-time highs. Return of depreciating Captial is favored to Equities which continue to be the perceived Inflation Hedge. The circular Logic is a complete Sh_t Mix of Mass Delusions as participants will discover one the Next Great Unwind begins. Everyone losses a hand. _______________________________________________________________ With last week's one Day Wonder spiking @ nearly 10% while the DX began to move over 95... RCO's are again heating up. _______________________________________________________________ We indicated the Infrastructure Bill would end up @ $1 Trillion after all the non-sense - Ultimately it was the FEDs handlers who reduced the increased threat of a Bond Market Accident. Suggesting DC piddle into a far less Aggressive Final number, Rates were tamed down, preventing an even larger protest from the 007s. Monday, President Biden signs into Law - $ 1 Trillion Infrastructure Bill. AKA - another Giveaway to Insiders. _______________________________________________________________ How much time does this Buy for the Equity Complex, we shall see. It will become yet another nail in Confidence Coffin as Inflation continues to Beat Expectations. _______________________________________________________________ Q4 begins to see squaring of Position for yeat end begin into December. With Notional Bets to a Strong finish to 2021 for appearance's sake, there IS something out there... that will blindside the markets. _______________________________________________________________ The 30 Year Auctions Failure... did not go unnoticed.
