Barclays HY OAS +471bps... from a peak of 1,100bps on March 23.
Markets are healing... so Lending Standards aren’t gonna be tight forever. #Reflation

Ultimate Arbiter of Truth are always the Govt. Bond Markets... The #Deflation & De-Leveraging Credit Cycle began with QT in Jan 2018... in all likelihood ended in March 2020.. given QE Bank Cash Liquidity. -Ve Real Rates did the Trick.. don’t last forever.

CCC OAS already lapping Lending Standards.. healing trend.. gapping down from a recent peak ..got to ~20% OAS..Not every recession has to be a Financial Crisis with Banks...especially with this amount of capital going into Recession..& huge liquidity now.

10 Yr Real Rates now -1.0%... May have put in a bottom on Aug 5th at -1.06%? Regardless, even if not... this is a 2+ Std Deviation Left Tail. Real Rates aren’t gonna be this low forever..Bear Steepening coming. Imho Playing with #DV01 Fire.
