UK SONIA Curve Ripping Higher….

$HSBC +100bps = +$5.7B of Incremental NII that can absorb any tiny China losses in the future.

+$2.0B comes from UK alone… another $1.3B from Hong Kong HIBOR alone which is pegged to $DXY Fed Funds…
So if the Short Thesis is built around a $DXY Wrecking Ball.. perhaps we might be forgetting the additional Credit Loss Absorption power on Sheet in an environment where there is SRF, Fed RRP (could go back to Zero) and $DXY Swap lines as ubiquitous as telephone poles nowadays.
Stronger $DXY is good for $HSBC.
Macro guys have this trade on backwards.

Banks don’t really care about 5s30s
It’s really 10Y3M… coz most funding at Front End of the Curve… as well as loans are mostly Front End as well … other 25% is long end mainly coz of XS Cash gets reinvested at the long end 10-30years. Rule of thumb is 75% of $XLF NII is front end.. rest back end.
Belly useless.
Front End… LIBOR/Prime etc the most important… that stuff is all going up. Image

“When interpreting data on Reserves, it’s important to keep in mind the quantity of reserves in Banking System is determined almost entirely by the Central Bank’s actions.

An individual Bank can Reduce their Reserves by “Lending Them Out or Using them 2 Purchase other Assets.” Image
“But these actions Do Not Change the Level of Reserves in the Banking System.”

“The general idea should be clear: while an Individual Bank can reduce its level of reserves by “lending to firms or households, the same is not true of the Banking System as a Whole.”
“No matter how many times the Funds are lent out by the Banks or used to make Purchases -Total Reserves in the Banking System do not change.”

“In particular, one can’t infer from the high level of aggregate reserves that banks are hoarding funds rather than lending them out.”

The Fed intentionally raised IOER & RRP to start the process.. people clearly sold Bills 4 RRP.. lots of em why Curve flattened some..but GC < IOER & no stress anywhere… no $DXY shortages anywhere…I don’t think Sterilizing is a big deal in this context… but actually necessary.
Banks are encouraging this…not a surprise.. they have been firing Non Op Deposits since last November that don’t hold any LCR or RLAP credit. $JPM has a 160% OpCo LCR it’s way too high…There or others’ issue isn’t a future lack of liquidity… it’s a lack of Balance Sheet..
… imho there’s a big difference between both concepts.. there’s $7 Trillion of XS of Deposits over Loans which for the most part is HQLA. Loan/Deposit ratios is at 60% & 45-50% for GSIBs. They can’t contain any of this liquidity… more draining is great.

Dow Down 240bps… HY tighter by 1.5bps.

That’s all the Fed cares about is No Disruption to Govt. Bond & Credit Markets… if some hot air comes out of Equities… that’s on you.

$XLF #Reflation
When you have Deflation & Systemic Liquidity Stress on $DXY Up…

… Gold Goes Up Not Down… Gold is a great Deflation & Systemic hedge.
$BKLN Flat.

$DXY Ripping Does NOT = Bank Funding Shortage (Global De-Levering #WreckingBall) imho

Here’s one clue… FRA OIS is still pinned at 3bps & NII still stinks…
Partly why Credit markets couldn’t care any less about the 5s30s Curve coz nobody funds at the 5 year point.
Let’s move across the pond to some European Banks… they have almost Zero issues with access to $DXY. 3M Cross FX Basis Spreads are -3bps.. But the Intelligentsia they keep telling me EM & EMEA has a lot of dollar debt.. u know all those BIS Reports and all…
While true that there are large Cross FX Claims…higher $DXY has a marginal impact on debt service.. but higher $DXY just means there’s some marginal increase in debt service.. that could pail in comparison to a Reopen & stronger earnings power that’s lagged by 6 months on Covid.
