Judging from today’s action – tech lower, reflation trades higher – market seems to be pricing in a Biden win with Blue Wave Congress. The new TINA? This is at the same time HYG sees its worst week of outflows last week since Feb and SPX futures are most long in two years at same […]
The Biden Bid turned into the expectation of bigger and better Fiscal Stimulus. As a result, election premium collapsed last week into Monday (see blue line) setting free the market bulls: Suddenly, sentiment has shifted for a ‘Blue Wave’ election sweep, and with it, the BidenBid continues to push VIX down and USDCNH down (Yuan […]

However, on the upside, the market tagged my $3393.52 SPX WEEKLY resistance price target perfectly today before reversing – on what else, news of being ‘far […]
FED has been buying a large share of TIPS recently – approaching 20% of the market this year. So at the same time they are talking up inflation they are artificially driving up inflation expectations.

I have a philosophy on trouble. Don’t feed it, and maybe it will go away. –Frank Sinatra Let’s face it, this market party is getting really wild and for those who don’t want trouble, it’s a good time to leave. I know not what will happen next, but I am envisioning some type of ‘distrubance’ […]
You want to know when I think Yields really get moving higher? After Bonds reverse of course… Inflation absolutely looks poised for higher, in time, which would support my yield pop thesis as well: Same TIP:TLT ratio from a slightly different perspective, but still bullish next few months, especially as Fed likely does not step […]
