THREE WORDS THAT YOU SHOULD KNOW — TNX GOES NUTS!Bank of America says the recession and credit crunch could lead to large corporate defaults. Credit strategists at Bank of America note that the fallout from the recession and credit crunch could see $1 trillion in corporate debt eventually become insolvent. This is largely due to the fact that banks have already begun to refuse lending conditions after the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank. US debt growth has also slowed in recent years, and a "full blown" recession has yet to be officially declared. If a full-blown recession does not occur in the next year or two, the restart of the credit cycle will be delayed. For now, analysts still predict that a moderate/short recession is more likely than a full blown recession. Markets are increasingly nervous about the prospect of a future downturn, with the New York Fed's Recession Probability Index projecting appr. 70 percent chance of a recession hitting by April 2024. The risk comes from the Fed's aggressive 21-fold increase in interest rates over the past 15 months to tame inflation. The US Federal Reserve, having fired a lot of "HIKE RATE" ammos over the past two years. And certainly has fulfilled its goals. In fact, in the second quarter of 2023, the rolling 12-month growth rate of the Consumer Price Index (April value = 4.9%) was below the Core CPI (April value = 5.5%). In human words that means prices of food and energy are deflating year-over-year. To some extent, the risk is also heightened by the recent banking turmoil, as lenders suffer losses on their "HELD-TO-MATURITY" (and in fact "READY-TO-SELL") portfolios of long-term corporate bonds and US Government bonds, as well as in due to a sharp outflow of deposits. The technical picture in TVC:TNX says the key trend is still strong, thanks to tailwinds from the first quarter of 2022 and support of Weekly SMA(52). The second half of 2023 is off to an interesting start. High quality "AAA" 10-year Bond' yield is back to pain levels corresponding to the collapse of the FTX cryptocurrency exchange last fall, as well as the collapse of regional and cryptocurrency banks as early as this spring, 2023 (like SVB, FRC and others). At the same time, real (that is, minus inflation) rates are now certainly much higher, against each of those two marks, as inflation is down.

GOLD can be a defensive asset, as geopolitical risks still highCaught in the twin grip of elevated US yields and a stronger USD, Gold may be on the defensive over the near term unless geopolitical risks still escalate. Escalating geopolitical and trade risks are playing an increasingly supportive role in Gold prices, engineering rallies that are likely to stay high in 2024. Gold Price Clinging to Highs Under $2'000. The bias remains bullish despite minor retreats. A new higher high may activate further growth. Only a valid breakdown below the pivot point opens the door for a corrective phase. The gold price resumed its growth today, reaching the $1,990 level. The bias is bullish despite minor downside corrections. OANDA:XAUUSD returned higher even though the Dollar Index rallied after the US Flash Services PMI and Flash Manufacturing PMI announced expansion. Gold has taken its position as a safe haven value asset. Over the past several years Gold trades on positive path, where short-term average (1yr SMA) still above long-term average (5yrs SMA) for a 6th year in a row, since Q1'18. The main technical graph says, that potentially technical figure known as "Reversed Head and Shoulders" is in progress, with further upside price action in a case of return back, above $2'000 per ounce. The main graph is for iShares Gold ETF AMEX:IAU that seeks to reflect generally the performance of the price of gold.

US 10Y TREASURY: testing 4.0%Cooling inflation data in the US were the ones which were supporting optimism with market participants, indicating a good time to start purchasing the US bonds. The PCE data were published on Friday, revealing that the index was increased by 0.1% in November. The PCE is one of the favorite Fed's inflation gauges, which indicated to markets that the Fed might start pivoting during Q1, as per market expectations since the beginning of December. For the markets, it was a clear entrance point, where 10Y Treasury yields reached lowest weekly level at 3.83%, while yields finished the week around 3.9%. At this moment, the market is actually testing the 4.0% support line for the 10Y Treasury bonds. It was more than evident on charts that the reversal point in the bond market started in November this year, while current 4.0% might be seen as a short term stop for yields. There is no question about where the yields will go in the future, however, the market is currently pricing 4.6% anticipated interest rates at the end of the next year. Charts are showing that there is an open path for 3.6% level, however, this would be the case for the year ahead. During the last week of December, it should not be expected to make any significant moves toward either side. The yields will continue to oscillate around the 4.0% level.

The Great SufferingWe all remember The Great Depression. That is a lie. Very few who live today lived when this monumental event occured. After the Roaring '20s, a decade of parabolic stock market growth and explosive demand for stocks , the cash-out came. In the Depression, people were giving out stocks for free, burning the titles. Truly a desperate action by many. Demand for stocks has gone to zero. Then, WWII came around, and demand for money was vital for survival. In finance, supply and demand dictate everything. Prices increase when demand increases, and they fall when demand diminishes. Equities and Currencies are opposite powers, both vital to sustain the eternal cycle of markets. The aftermath of the Great Depression is full of lessons. Demand for stocks has never been so high as it was in the Roaring '20s. This may have two explanations. Most of worlds' debt is denominated in Dollar. The function of the dollar changed substantially after the first QE experiment: Abandoning the Gold Standard. A modern analogue of the mania that existed in 1920s is Bitcoin. With that in mind, we may conclude the following for the relationship between Gold and Dollar. Now, demand for Dollars is at an all-time high level. Fiat currency is a proof of debt. To make some sense of the scale of demand for dollars, we can calculate the total debt. The World Economic Forum has posted the following article regarding world debt. www.weforum.org In short, Global Debt has surpassed 300 Trillion in 2023. Much of that debt is dollar-denominated. US Debt alone has reached 33T at the time of writing. The (im)possible serviceability of that scale of debt deserves a conversation on its own. Many questions arise, more than the conclusions. If BRICS is to create an alternative reserve currency to dollar, what effect will that have in the strength of the dollar? Some may believe that dollar strength will vanish if an alternative is born. After all, demand for it will surely decrease. Well, there is a catch to all of that. Dollar has been artificially weak so as weaker economies can afford to borrow it. As we talked about, world debt has largely depended on dollars. Some charts (even slightly wrong ones like the following one) may suggest that a Dollar Milkshake scenario is indeed probable. A simplistic PnF analysis of accumulation gives us the following targets for DXY. Don't forget that DXY is nowhere near its all-time high value. So there is the remote probability that this chart is true. Until now, the focus of the FED was keeping dollar cheap to promote its' borrowing. Now their stance has changed dramatically. Yield rates are decisively high, and money supply is actually being burned. Money supply is vanishing rapidly. This has given birth to a war, between demand for dollars and demand for other currencies. The FED is doing what it can to stop the mania for equities and crypto. A pivot has been reached. For decades the benefit of the many (cheap debt) resulted in dollar taking the hit (dixie). With the US indirectly involved in war, it is time for The States to look at their survival.... ...keeping the nation, the currency and the economy strong. Now that, is something the FED is unwilling to pivot upon. All charts suggest that the FED is performing actions that will strengthen the US. Inflation is being fought, unemployment avoided and equities being kept in stable levels. Extra Chart: If the role of the dollar changes once again, and global demand for it decreases substantially, what effect will that have for the relative demand for equities? Thought Experiment: Imagine if you will, a scenario where corporate investment utilizes Bitcoin ETFs. What effect will that have in the performance of their equities as a result of improved investment strategies? Tread lightly, for this is hallowed ground. -Father Grigori

Galloping SPYThis chart is frightening. It suggests that SPY can become a modern-day example of Galloping Gertie, the famous Tacoma Narrows Bridge which collapsed from nothing more than wind. I have said it before, 2022 was the year when an Equity Crash didn't actually happen, while we were all talking about it. It is but a scratch. But with a bleeding chopped-off arm, how long can you last in war? Instead of an equities being killed, a Bond Crash came, and nobody has talked about its ramifications. This is the European Bond, one of the most stable, until 2021. Imagine what has happened in corporate bonds. We can never know for sure the sheer extent of the destruction... In stock market, higher is not necessarily better. Higher is riskier. SPY is considered to be diamonds. JUNK Bonds are, well, junk. Imagine the balance shift when this trend breaks. And it very much it will. It is statistics after all. The more times you get heads repeatedly, the rarer the event. Think, for how long has SPY been diamond, and JNK junk? With yield rates peaking problems may arise. The bond market will suddenly revive again. As a byproduct, dollar will get a massive hit. Some charts suggests that its days are numbered. This chart calculates dollar strength based on the value of its total supply. If a currency manages to get printed a lot and sustain high strength, then it must be good. Especially if it pays out good yield rates. Rate cuts in US isn't good news for Dixie... Tread lightly, for you are dead. You just don't know it yet. -Father Grigori Final thought: Rate cuts can be a double-edged sword. If FED announces rate cuts, this gives two messages. -- Financial strength has weakened and rate cuts must come to keep the economy afloat. Bad news can trigger Black Swans. The 2008 crisis followed after rate cuts, not rate hikes. -- Rate cuts will trigger a massive flow of money into bonds, emptying the equity market. Careful what you wish for, and what you prepare for.

US 10Y TREASURY: pricing rate cutsIt was final time for the Fed to align with the market. At the latest FOMC meeting, this was the case, considering that rhetoric about potential rate increases was not at all in the spotlight of Powell's speech, but clearly slowdown of inflation and that FOMC members are perceiving Fed`s rates at 4.6% as of the end of 2024. This was a clear signal for markets that rate cuts are coming during the course of the next year, with current anticipation that it could be already in March next year. Although 10Y US Treasury yields started the week around 4.28%, they swiftly reverted toward the downside and lowest weekly level at 3.9%. The market is currently testing the $4.0% level, which might impose some volatility in the week ahead around this level. Still, looking at the larger picture, the yields would certainly further test lower levels, currently eyeing 3.8%.

US 10Y TREASURY: FOMC meeting aheadThe yields on the US Treasuries continued to slow down during the course of the previous week. However, a strong US jobs data posted on Friday, made an impact on 10Y yields to revert a bit toward the higher grounds. Although the US equities were supported by the same news, investors in the Treasury bonds still hold a dose of reserve when it comes to the future economic conditions. Namely, as job data remains strong, there is a fear that the Fed might tighten further in order to sustain their 2% inflation goal. The 10Y Treasuries started the previous week around 4.29% yield. As the week progressed, yields reached the lowest weekly level at 4.10%. However, at Friday`s trading session, they reverted a bit back, ending the week at 4.23%. Regardless of this small reversal, the markets are still generally oriented toward the downside. The market is still pending testing the 4.0% level, which might occur during the following week or two. At the same time, charts are pointing that some short reversal might lead yields shortly toward the 4.3%, less likely 4.4% level, before they make a final reversal toward the level of 4.0%.

US10Y Is this the end of Bond Yields' 3.5 year run?The U.S. Government Bonds 10 YR Yield (US10Y) is pulling-back towards the 1W MA50 (blue trend-line) and bottom of the Rising Wedge. The pattern is getting too tight and the squeeze will inevitably result in a break-out and new trend/ pattern. If the Rising Wedge breaks downwards, it will mean the end of the yield's +3.5 year bullish run and will have a high impact both on stocks and Gold. In fact there are high probabilities of that happening as a similar Rising Wedge broke to the downside at the end of 2018. If that gets materialized, then the first attempt should be on the 3.300% Support 1 level, before the 1W MA200 (orange trend-line) gets closer for the test of its long-term Support status. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ** Please LIKE 👍, FOLLOW ✅, SHARE 🙌 and COMMENT ✍ if you enjoy this idea!

Profitable InflationEvery chart describes a story. Inflation can be tracked using producer-prices and consumer-prices. Equities are affected by consumer inflation, while commodities by producer inflation. Many of the worlds largest companies are selling services, not commodities. The ratio of the two on the chart above, shows that long-term production cost of commodities is gradually reducing. It also shows periods when production inflation is much more pronounced than consumer one. There is an inherent lag between producers and consumers. First producers take a short the beating... ...then consumers feel the pain. An eye for an eye. Investors have limited options. There is energy to invest in, commodities, crypto, bonds, equities and money markets. There are probably many more options, but these are some of the most well-known ones. The method to invest in them may be via a mutual fund or a direct investment. Let's rate these investment options for their viability. Gold has proven problematic time and time again. How high can Gold even get for demand to sustain? With production cost increasing, an investment in Gold becomes a dilemma. Approximate Gold profits, described by the Gold/PPIACO ratio, seems like a hard win. Crude Oil on the other hand may need some time before it shows its true strength. On the Crypto world, the big boy Bitcoin may dominate. Crypto also seems to progress against Bonds. Bitcoin has survived excellently the rate-hike schedule, keeping it afloat against Bonds. Similarly in the Equity world, the big guys may overperform. The Industrial part of DOW seems like it will show strength against the others. For an investor, few are the viable choices. Bonds don't go well with increasing rates. Gold fails proving as an inflation hedge. Instead, crypto shapes into an equity pillow. Source: @SpyMasterTrades When equities underperform, Bitcoin stays put. Once again, we have reached the same conclusion. The equity market is forced to grow. This chart is a perspective on how (SPX vs Inflation = actual profits) may overperform (Gold vs Commodity Production Cost = actual profits). This shows that equity-profits-after-inflation may be more than any other type of investment. Equities may in fact completely ignore inflation for some years to come. Many of my charts, like this one, have taken me back to 1994, in the pre-.com bubble world. A massive equity bubble may be brewing as we speak. Nothing else besides equities is viable as an option now. Except perhaps money markets. The massive forgotten one. Dollar. Money strength has been low for too long. Perhaps the dollar hasn't spoken its last word. This proves once again that crypto may remain strong. Crypto is currency after all. Tread lightly, for this is hallowed ground. -Father Grigori

US 10Y TREASURY: Powell and market on opposite sidesFed Chair Powell is speaking, but the market is not listening. Powell was speaking on Friday at Spelman College in Atlanta, noting once again that the current policy might not be restrictive enough, meaning that further rate hikes are possible in case that inflation remains persistent. However, a strong economic output of 5.2% for Q3 and inflation figures which are clearly oriented toward the downside, made the market react quite opposite to Powell`s notes. Almost all assets, including Bitcoin gained during the previous week. Treasury bonds strongly gained during the week, pushing the yields lower. The 10Y Treasury yields continued with their down trend, starting the week around 4.4% level and ending it at 4.197%. This is more than a clear indication that the market is currently strongly set on rate cuts in the coming period. In case that market perceives that the rate cuts might be higher in 2024, then the 10Y Treasury yields might easily reach the level of 4.0% by the end of this year. Still, for the week ahead, it could be expected that the level of 4.2% is to be tested, with a decreased probability for a reversal toward 4.4% level.

🍂Fall – Fell – Fallen. S&P500 Technical Perspectives over Q3'23The US government is well on its way to going into lockdown and shutting down the economy as policymakers are deadlocked over the national budget for the next fiscal year. While leading stock market strategists are not yet terribly concerned about such perspectives, and entertain hopes that investors have a high probability of "getting away with it" with strong performance, in reality the facts tell a different story. S&P500 SP:SPX is suffering losses, and has already lost about half of its annual growth since the beginning of 2023, and the Nasdaq-100 index NASDAQ:NDX reduced 2023 growth approximately by 30 percent. To avoid a shutdown, Congress needs to pass all 12 spending bills for the next fiscal year by Sept. 30, something it has historically done rather poorly. This could create problems for the market, which could immediately, that is, on the same day, be seriously affected by a US Government shutdown, considering SPX seasonality where September is one of the worst calendar month for investments into S&P500. S&P500 Seasonality Chart Meanwhile historical back test analysis says, in the past 20 government shutdowns, the S&P 500 stayed relatively flat, with the benchmark index losing an average 0.4% the week before a shutdown and gaining .1% by the end of a shutdown, according to a Reuters analysis of CFRA Research data. And in some cases, stocks actually ended the shutdown period higher, with the market gaining a net 10% following the 2018-19 shutdown, according to Renaissance Macro. Shutdowns lasting five days or more have also been known to see a quick market rebound, according to a 2021 Dow Jones analysis. On average, the S&P 500 had already moved into positive territory within one month of the shutdown. Shutdowns themselves are also relatively short. The last government shutdown, which was the longest-ever, lasted for 35 days. Anyway everything could happened. To stay away, or look beyond the market's twists and turns in the weeks before, during, and immediately following a potential shutdown - this is could be very, very individual investment decision. Technical pictures illustrates that weekly SMA(52) - 12 months simple moving average near 4150/4200 pp in SP:SPX or Dec'23 Futures CME_MINI:ESZ2023 (depends what are you looking for) could be quite strong support in any cases.

US10Y: The goal from now on should be to buy the bounce.The US10Y is approaching an oversold technical state on the 1D timeframe (RSI = 34.650, MACD = -0.086, ADX = 44.537) as selling was accelerated this week after failing to get close to the 1D MA50. The long term pattern is a Channel Up and the decline since Octobet 23rd is the new bearish leg. The one prior hit the 0.5 Fibonacci level of the rally and then rebounded to the 1D MA50 with the 1D RSI approximately on the same levels as today (S1 Zone). Consequently, our goal from now on is to start buying on dips and aim for the 1D MA50 and in particularly the 0.5 Fibonacci level from whatever bottom the US10Y makes now (modest estimate TP = 4.575%). ## If you like our free content follow our profile to get more daily ideas. ## ## Comments and likes are greatly appreciated. ##

Parabolic Volatility in the Bond MarketYield Rates represent a percentage. How much would an investor get if they invested in a US Treasury Bond. A stable economy needs three things, at least according to the FED. - Low Inflation - Low Unemployment - Strong Economy Yield Rates are the ultimate weapon of the FED. By manipulating rates they stabilize the economy accordingly. They stimulate when they should, and they calm as needed. A strong economy is a stable economy. Volatility in markets is bad juju. Stability in yield rates is a matter of survival. But it seems that we have failed in that. The average rate-of-change in yield rates has gone parabolic over the decades. And we are talking about 100 years. The bond market is currently in a whipsaw. The rate / percentage yields oscillate is beyond comprehension. Who knows what effects this will have in the years to come. A similar picture prints in FEDs mind right now. In absolute yield-rate terms, the average-true-range of rates has formed a bull flag. Once again this confirms the beginning of the 1960s stagflation. Tread lightly, for this is volatile ground.

US 10Y TREASURY: rate cuts are coming?The FOMC November meeting minutes were the ones that supported market expectations that the Fed is finished with further rate increases. The rates might stay higher for longer, but the market is currently anticipating that the first rate cut in this cycle might occur in May next year. Treasury yields reacted on the release of the Minutes, where yields were modestly relaxed. The 10Y Treasury yields started the previous week around level of 4.5%, but quite soon a drop in yields occurred down to the level of 4.36%. The support level at 4.4% has been tested during the whole week. Still, at Friday`s trading session the market was closed at the level of 4.47%. In the week ahead, it could be expected that the market will continue to test the level of 4.4% to the downside. A move toward the higher grounds is possible, but it should not be expected that yields will move higher from 4.5%.
