Speaking of an "an unwarranted easing of #FCI," #FOMC minutes reflect a doubling down on resolving the "large imbalance between labor supply and labor demand."

The consumer remains ๐Ÿ’ช and the Fed aims to change that by coming for your job

Don't fight the Fed and have a super profitable ๐Ÿ’ฐ day!
United States Challenger Job Cuts:
"US-based employers announced 43,651 job cuts in December of 2022, less than 76,835 in November which was the biggest since January of 2021"

I think $AMZN and $CRM combined have done that in the first two days of January ๐Ÿช“๐Ÿฉธ

#ADP private payrolls rose to +230,000 in December.

The initial response in the bond market was to push both the short and long end higher

Realizing job strength = FOMC higher for longer = eventual recession, the long end recovered with the big lower high in $TNX intact. Image

My Q12023 outlook reflects the massive forces current under way ๐Ÿงต

1> Fed, Treasury, and big market players (reverse repo) who are draining liquidity from the markets will make for a messy start for risk assets to start the new year.

This coincides with ๐Ÿฅ๐ŸชŸ of weakness into Jan 10.

2> Cheap Russian oil (less than $60/B) is being directed to our most important manufacturing โ€˜partners' (China and India).

Because they are well supplied, goods inflation is unlikely to rise in the hear term.

Global Macro Review ๐Ÿงต
1/14

Much will be written about 2022 full-year performance, so letโ€™s take a look at the last 3 months of the year to see if we can discern anything from a price momentum perspective.

(T) = Trend = 3-month price momentum
2/14

The $USD -7.86% peaked in September, providing much needed relief for risk assets around the world.

Chart: $USD -2.48% in December sits at critical trend line support with all major trend levels in bearish territory.

A close below 102 opens up 99. Mean revert or die.
3/14

After a modest pull-back in November, the $UST10Y resumed its upward trajectory in December, rising +20 bps to 3.88%.

Chart: $UST10Y - If you believe BOTH growth and inflation are slowing, then this thing needs to put in a big lower higher between here and 3.977%.

Self assessment ๐Ÿงต
1/15

New Yearโ€™s is the perfect time for some self reflection and assessment of my performance relative to my investing goal #5Real

#5Real = earning +5% AFTER inflation

So, how did I do?
2/15

I-Bonds +8.2%
Cash Accounts +3.1%
IRA Trend (long only) -2.97%
All Weather -5.76%
Trading account -6.39%
Vol HF allocation -6.54
IRA Mean Reversion -8.91%
401K -12.29%
3/15

No matter how you slice it, I came up well short of my goals

I lost money

I take absolutely zero solace in having outperformed the $SPX or $TLT

Yeh, it was a hard year. But I can do better.
Much better.

So, what did I learn this year to make me better at this game?
