2020 SOMA annual report is worth the wait!!!

so good
These people's productivity increased by 200% once they started to work from home . 🤣
There is a covert Operation Twist hidden here. Will explain how it works and the magnitude of it in a fed.tips article hopefully this weekend.
these cyan bars in 2020 were genuine money printing that contributed to inflation quickly (i.e. lumber price).
BAC matched it dollar by dollar in 2nd half of 2020.

so 2x the amount shown here.
I wish I could refi my mortgage into a 1.5% APR 30Y one. who are the lucky bastards?
A lot of twisting can be done here, don't you think?

70% chance that we are going to see another wave of COVID in parts of US in mid June through late July.

1. we are importing the Indian variant at full speed.
5 direct flights a day are still operating (4x UAL: DEL-EWR/SFO/ORD and BOM-EWR; 1x AIC: DEL-EWR) ImageImage
The "travel ban" only applies to non-US residents.

Even newly admitted Indian students seem to be waived from the ban:

2. Infection rate of COVID is currently sky high in India: 50% of Australians on the Australia repatriation flight from India last Friday were denied boarding, because of +ve COVID tests or acute exposure.

Hey Twitter, I am back, and SICO seems to be back too!

Analysis and projection here: fed.tips/outlook2021051…
I had to take more days off per doctor's orders last weekend. :( But largely recovered now.

There are a ton to write about with all the new data.

so expect daily notes (a blend of premium and free articles) on fed.tips in the next couple of weeks.
The point of this chart is that we are in a $460Bn-forced-feeding period (ending tomorrow), which is finally causing "indigestion" problems and forced deleveraging (it seems).

Details emerged from Treasury's refunding meeting this week has been quite surprising and inconsistent. The implication for stonks for the next 4-5 months could be surprising as well.

Treasury declared its TGA target for July 31st at $450Bn, while slowing down T-bill reduction.
Plugging in the current USG spending model along with EOQ TGA target of $800Bn, I ended up with this:

Not much spending until July when TGA nose-dives from $950Bn to $450Bn in 4 weeks.
A few things have happened in the past 2 weeks.
1. Tax receipts have been very strong (the economy is almost overheating from payroll data)
2. Stimulus spending has dropped to almost nothing.
3. Treasury's TGA reduction plan will have to change course in July as a result

Saw this chart making rounds on Twitter.

The biggest flaw here is that if one follows the conservative approach evident in claiming all experimental antivirals are ineffective, tylenol (paracetamol) would be equally counter-productive, since it depletes glutathione
Glutathione is need in lung for uninfected cells to survive oxidative stress induced by hyperactive immune response, and for sputum clearance

NAC is essential for glutathione synthesis.
Recently a surgical technician died of suspected tylenol overdose after taking the 2nd dose of covid vaccines.

The risk of an acute covid patient overdosing on tylenol should not be neglected

Overnight Reverse Repo at NY Fed is taking off.

Ignoring the window-dressing spike on 3/31, this sustained increase signals that the offloading of bank reserves from big banks to government money market funds has finally started.
This is a short-term relief valve for their balance sheet pressure.

Last time this happened, QE stopped 10 months after (Oct 2014)
This time, Fed may need to continue on at least with some twisting (buying 10Y-30Y bonds, while selling Tbills) for yield control purposes, as net interest expense would skyrocket otherwise.

Pressure on bank's balance sheet is likely to continue on at least into 2022.

The weekly liquidity outlook has just been sent!

No change in my positions/outlook.

The interesting part is a longer-range forecast, 6 weeks all the way into the end of May. something on the horizon that you should know about.

fed.tips/outlook2021041…
Also discussed is the latest bank B/S outlook including data from MS this morning.

It's a very long update for a slow week, and thus the delay.
Now that I am back in town with a lot more data, time to finish up the SICO series and review what happened in Feb/March. Stay tuned for many articles to be released this weekend on fed.tips.
