What is going on in the #treasury market? 10 year treasury just hit 1.13%. Yet my fair value model has it at 1.75% (incorporates Copper/Gold and other ratios - r2 of 90%+) #bonds#yields#YieldCurve
As long as the @federalreserve continues QE and the @USTreasury is limited in issuance of treasuries (or should I say supply...), #yields should fall
And the Fair Value vs Current will continue to diverge
My plan is to wait till the r2 of my model starts to inch upward before shorting the market. Too many factors driving demand up and supply down
One caveat here is the stimulus packages (#InfrastructureBill and #reconciliation bill). Issuance will be needed and if this results in a build in the General Account, we could see yields rise really fast.

3/ "Without explicit boundaries, however, it would undermine institutional credibility and could lead to uncontrolled fiscal spending."
Over the past several weeks, we have seen significant Central Bank actions globally. This reflects a market flush with cash and a desire by the Federal Reserve to hold short-term rates positive. 2/

1) Medium Term: #Fed Hawkish, #ECB Dovish
As the Federal Reserve begins discussing tapering, the ECB is still providing stimulus. A hawkish Fed is confirming a stronger economy while the ECB confirming weakness.
2) Medium Term: Treasury General Account Drawdown Largely Over
