US gov. debt market collapse has started

This has MASSIVE implications for the economy

A thread 🧵 Image
2/ US government bonds have broken below a 40-year uptrend

After experiencing one of the most aggressive bear market since the 1980s Image
3/ Treasury bonds, typically 40% of an investor's portfolio, have led to significant losses because of their sharp decline
4/ Since March 2020, gold has outperformed Treasury bonds by +100% amid surging government spending

Government expenditures have risen from $3.4 trillion to almost $4 trillion in just 2 years Image
5/ Constantly rising government spending, financed by issuing more Treasury bonds, is a BIG problem

This has caused bond prices to drop significantly
6/ Treasury bond issuance in 2024 is expected to hit $1.9 trillion

This level is higher than even the peak of the 2008 Financial Crisis levels Image
7/ Although we expect a bounce in bonds, our long-term outlook on it is bearish

8/ A key factors that’s driving this long-term breakdown in Treasury bonds is the decline in labor force participation rate

This metric has shown a strong negative correlation to US government debt since 1999 Image
9/ The decreasing labor force participation + increasing government debt indicate economic strain

This is because of more people retiring and fewer people working

The combination has required the government to increase its spending Image
10/ With the aging US population and more people retiring

Labor force participation is likely to decline further

This would increase government debt even more, unless spending changes Image
11/ That’s why Gold has seen a lot of bullishness

Surging +35% since Oct 2023

Our members have already secured a 22% gain on $GDX when we booked partial profits on 23rd May

And continue to hold the rest for more upside Image

Every major US recession since 1980 was preceded by this signal

And it has just triggered once again

Buckle up.

A thread 🧵 Image
2/ This line you see here has surged right before every US recession since the 1980s

It’s from the Conference Board’s Consumer Confidence Survey, showing how consumers feel about the future of the job market Image
3/ More precisely, it tracks the percentage of consumers expecting fewer jobs over the next 6 months

Today, that number sits around 30% Image

US stock market has completed a V-shaped recovery

This is what typically happens next…

A thread 🧵 Image
2/ The S&P 500 has hit new all time highs following a V-shaped recovery

That rally’s been powered by a wave of FOMO buying

Plus a short squeeze

As investors hedging for downside had to cover, forcing them to buy the index Image
3/ After a rapid V-shaped recovery, investors rush back into the market

They pour into a handful of large cap companies

And right as the index makes a new all-time high, everyone is convinced the market is heading higher

That’s the moment it actually corrects, before resuming higher

V-shaped rally followed by euphoria then a correction

This has been a recurring pattern since the 1990s

And it’s happening again today

A thread 🧵 Image
2/ There’s some good news and some bad news

The good news is that US stocks just hit new all-time highs

And with that surge, we locked in a few solid wins on our website Image
3/ The bad news is that July could bring a rug pull

About a month ago, we shared this chart with our clients at Bravos Research:

Fund managers were severely under-allocated to US equities in May Image

The conflict in the Middle East has gotten a lot of investors bearish now

But these 3 metrics are still pointing to a constructive market environment

A thread 🧵 Image
2/ A conflict has just broken out in the Middle East and it’s escalating rapidly

Civilians are being killed on both sides and there’s a real risk the US gets pulled in

Which could disrupt global oil supply and shake up the entire global economy and stock markets Image
3/ In this thread, we’ll share with you the approach we’re using for the markets

When market conditions are favorable, we trade aggressively and target the strongest stocks in the S&P 500

Think holding Apple or Netflix in the 2010s, or Tesla in 2020 Image

The yield curve has anticipated the biggest recessions

This includes 2008, 2001, and even 1929

But is it about to fail this time around?

A thread 🧵 Image
2/ Over the past 12 months, the US yield curve has steepened

Meaning it’s moved out of an inversion (below 0%)

As we’ve covered many times, this is typically one of the most reliable recessionary signals Image
3/ We’ve seen this playbook multiple times before:

The yield curve steepened in late 2007 just before the Great Financial Crisis

In early 2001 right before the Dot Com crash

And it even happened before the Great Depression in the 1930s Image

After experiencing one of the most painful bear market since the 1980s Image
