Real rates are rising rapidly.. What to do about it from a trading perspective?

A thread 1/n
Rising real rates is a natural consequence of disinflaiton as nominal bond yields rise, while priced inflation drops. This is exactly what central banks want right now..

The GBP example right here

2/n
When real rates rise, multiples tend to become compressed .. This has been an extra strong pattern since 2013 in US equities..

Real rates now point to Forward PEs of around 11-12 on the SPX, implying levels around 2700 with unchanged earnings..

3/n
What to do in an equity portfolio, if multiples are to compress further?

I am trying to say short things in the top of Maslow’s hierarchy of needs and long things in the bottom of it.

Long stuff you need, short stuff you don't need.

4/n
I have updated my FREE newsletter with how I position myself for this tricky environment right here..

It is called 1.... 2..... 3.... Central bank panic

The Covid “get vaccinated to save others” has now been proven wrong as the early data suggested already when this policy was implemented

Next question: Will authorities apologize?

I hope so
“This study showed that the impact of vaccination on community transmission of circulating variants of SARS-CoV-2 appeared to be not significantly different from the impact among unvaccinated people.” - just to take an example

And No, this is not a big conspiracy. Early studies proved wrong, that happens. It is now time to admit to it and move on..

Why a strong USD is disinflationary wrecking-ball globally ...

A thread 1/n
I received truckloads of abuse after I claimed that a strong USD is disinflationary

I am obviously aware that the direct impact of a strong USD is higher import prices elsewhere, so why is a strong USD disinflationary for the world?

Let's have a look at what the DATA says

2/n
The USD is INVERSELY correlated to global core inflation (ex US), when you allow the USD time-series to have a time-lag of 6-9 months

A strong USD today is usually a signal that inflation pressures will fade in 6-9 months from now

Data from 2007-2015 shows this visually

The YUUUGE inflation report is out tmrw - a thread 1/n

What are the models telling us before the print?
Survey companies in ISM are no longer paying increasing prices to their suppliers. This is typically a sign that producers prices are fading, which spills-over to consumer prices after a while

M2 growth (broad money supply) is now just below 5% over the past year. The best correlation between core CPI and M2 growth is found with a 12-18 months lag (14 months to be precise), which should lead to a fading price pressure, if the money growth has anything to say

FX Tuesday - Is the USD wrecking-ball going to continue? A thread 1/n
The USD has been the absolute winner throughout 2022, and its momentum continued through last week. Not even BRL or MXN – both of which has performed well against the dollar in 2022 – could match the rise in USD.

BoE continues Gilt interventions .. Despite this YCC, Kwarteng's back-paddling on the mini budget saw the sterling bounce.
Monday was quite flat, but the currency has sold of 50 bps since Wednesday. The pound continues to be pounded – pun intended

Hard to be GBP positive

A strong USD is usually disinflationary worldwide.

The world needs a strong USD more than ever
I guess I need to explain myself here.

I am obviously fully aware that the direct impact of a strong USD is higher import prices elsewhere, so why is a strong USD inflationary?
A strong USD is the most efficient global killer of excess demand.

In 2021 and 2022, we have had excess demand for USD denominated commodities. A strong USD will help balance things

Equity Monday 💲😱- A thread 1/n

Let’s jump-start the week with a brief rundown of recent developments in equities.
Last week US indices behaved quite ambiguously. On Thursday SPX was up some 5% for the week, but a stronger than expected job report, published Friday, saw indices sell off to eliminate gains. The markets, praying for a pivot, were not liking it. Conversely, EU and APAC up

2/n
Energy, led by oil, extended a material rally – up 14% for the week. Interestingly, former week’s winner, consumer services, remain up.

Real estate, a notorious laggard, took a hit last week – the biggest on the board.
