US 10Y TREASURY: Fed`s cut is nearingThe posted US inflation for July brought some new confidence for investors that the Fed's rate cut is nearing. The July inflation eased to the level of 2.9% on a yearly basis, and was below market forecast of 3.0%. The Producers Price Index was another indicator which pointed to further easing of inflation pressures, by reaching 0.1% in July, for the month, again below market estimate of 0.2%. To nail the market expectations, preliminary Michigan Consumer Sentiment, posted on Friday, showed no change in inflation expectations for the five years period of 3.0%. This was enough information for the market participants to increase their expectations that the Fed might make their first rate cut in September. The 10Y US Treasuries started the week modestly below the level of 4.0%, and were driven to the downside during the rest of the week. Yields reached the lowest weekly level at 3.8%. Thursday and Friday brought back some short volatility, after the Retail Sales data were posted, however, yields are finishing the week at the level of 3.88%. During the week ahead the Jackson Hole Symposium will be held on Thursday and Friday. After the symposium, Fed Chair Powell will hold a speech, which might bring back some volatility to the market, considering current nervousness around rate cuts. Still, it is not expected that the yields will move significantly to either side, except to test, for one more time the 3.8% level.

US 10Y TREASURY: easing with rate cutsTwo weeks ago markets reacted to surprising jobs data in the US, however, the posted ISM Services PMI on Monday put a dose of relaxation among market participants. Data showed that the US is clearly not in a recession and that, at least, the services sector is doing fine at this moment. All financial markets were traded in a positive manner during the previous week, resetting their sentiment to the previous path. The US Treasuries also re-adjusted during the week, in a move from 3.7% reached on a Monday, till 4.0% reached on Friday. The 10Y benchmark is finishing the week at the level of 3.94%. Regardless of a positive come-back and re-assessment of the current state of the US economy, the market nervousness might continue in the coming period. It should be considered that the US inflation data and the retail sales for July will be published in a week ahead, where some increased volatility might be possible for one more time. At the current stage, the market is testing the 4.0% level, however, there is some probability for another drop in the week ahead. The level of 3.9%, eventually 3.8% might be tested. The move above 4.0% is unlikely at this moment.

US 10Y TREASURY: September?During the previous week the 10Y US benchmark rates reached the lowest weekly level at 3.78%, and moved down from the support line at 4.2%. There are two major reasons for such a strong drop in Treasury yields. The first was on Wednesday when Fed Chair Powell noted a potential for a rate cut in the future period, which market perceives to be September`s FOMC meeting, and the second reason was surprisingly weak jobs data posted on Friday. The posted non-farm payrolls for July were significantly weaker from market expectations, reaching 114K, from 175K expected by the market. At the same time, the unemployment rate reached 4.3%, again higher from 4.1% estimated by the market. There is currently fear among investors that the US might slip into recession, however, there are also analysts who are noting that weak figures might be due to seasonal effects. Surprisingly weak jobs data led investors to increase odds for more than one rate cut during the course of this year. Also, there is currently 58% chances by market expectations, that the Fed will cut rates by 50 basis points. After such a strong move in Treasury yields, it could be expected that the market will slowly digest the Friday`s data and adjust positions accordingly. In this sense, there is a probability that the yields would revert a bit to the upside, at least to the level of 3.9%. However, at this point levels around 4.0% are questionable.

Money Market says that rate cut will be an urgent one (again)Just take a look on a rate cut expectations. In a short, the main technical graph is a difference (spread) between the nearest futures contract on FOMC interest rate (in this time Sept'24 ZQU2024) and the next one futures contract (in this time Oct'24 ZQV2024). It's clear that spread turned to negative in 2024, and heavily negative over the past several weeks. Historical back test analysis says that in all of such cases, FOMC is to cut interest rates immediately. The next scheduled FOMC meeting is September17-18. Will the market wait 6 more weeks? The right answer: NO. Rate cut will be an urgent one (unscheduled again).

🔜 20+ Year Treasury Bond Market. Perhaps This Is The End US stocks surprised much of Wall Street this year with a strong run that defied decades-high interest rates and recession calls. The rally was fueled by slower inflation and hype over artificial intelligence. But more recently, the Federal Reserve's unwavering higher-for-longer rate stance and a deepening bond-market rout have had a sobering effect on equities sentiment, with the S&P 500 index halving its year-to-date gains. Indeed stock valuations are looking increasingly stretched, raising the risk of a correction. One such indicator in particular is flashing RED - the relative valuation of stocks versus the debt market. SPX / ICE BofA Corporate Total Return Index In August this year, the S&P 500 CBOE:SPX climbed to levels last seen during the peak of dot-com boom, relative to an index that tracks the US corporate bond market. The gauge is still holding near those highs, despite the recent pullback in equities. The metric last surged this high in the spring of 2000 — and that was followed by a multi-year meltdown in stocks that saw the S&P 500 crash 50% between March 2000 and October 2002. SPX 50% Decline During 2000-2002 Another indicator that shows the richness of stocks relative to debt is the so-called equity risk premium — or the extra return on shares over government debt, which is considered a safer form of investment. The metric has plunged this year lows unseen in decades, indicating elevated stock valuations. "Equity risk premium is near its worst ever level going back to 1927. In the 6 instances this has occurred, the markets saw a major correction & recession/depression - 1929, 1969, 99/00, 07, 18/19, present," research firm MacroEdge said in a recent post on X (ex-Twitter). The so-called equity risk premium (earnings yield minus bond yield) recently fell to a new cycle low and remains well below historical averages. In other words, the stock market has become more expensive relative to the bond market despite the recent pullback. Meanwhile the main graph (quarterly Div-adjusted chart for NASDAQ:TLT 20+ Year Treasury Bond ETF) illustrates perhaps right there could the end for U.S. Govt Bond Market decline, with Double top as a further projected/ targeted upside price action. Will all of that bring U.S. stock market to 50% decline like in early 2000s!? Time will show!

US 10Y TREASURY: the FOMCDuring the previous week markets full attention was on PCE data which were published on Friday. The PCE index rose 0.1% for the month, and 2.5% on a yearly basis, which was fully in line with market estimates. The evident slowdown in inflation in the US increased the probability that the Fed might make the first cut in September this year. The 10Y US benchmark yields were reflecting the investors sentiment during the week, moving from 4.3% at the start of the week, and ending it at 4.19%. As the FOMC meeting is scheduled for the week ahead, some increased market volatility is quite expected. Market is not expecting that the Fed will cut rates during this meeting, however, any change in rhetoric of the Fed Chair Powell might trigger higher market volatility. At this moment, there is a high probability that the market will test 10Y yields for a potential for lower grounds from the level of 4.20%. Some short move to the levels above 4.20% is also possible, but these levels are not expected to hold for a longer period of time.

MidCap vs. LargeCap. Technical & Fundamental Levels to WatchThe Russell 2000 trailed the S&P 500 significantly in 2023, gaining about 17% compared to a gain of about 24% for the large cap index. That underperformance has spilled over into 2024. As of July 10, 2024 the Russell 2000 YTD is about Zero compared to a 17.75% gain in the S&P 500 (SPX) and 23.50 gain in Nasdaq Composite Index (IXIC). By the way, that valuation measures make the small cap Russell 2000 index much more compelling when compared to the S&P 500. Small caps relative to the S&P 500 on a price-to-book basis is back to where it was in 1999. As of June 30, 2024 small caps price-to-book (P/B) ratio is 2.10, as it described on FTSE Russell 2000 Index Factsheet, while Total US Market (Russell 3000) P/B ratio is 4.42. I'll be brief. Perhaps it will be the briefest brief over the past ten god years I'm here on TV. DON'T MISS IT, AS IT ONE PER LIFE OPPORTUNITY. The main technical graph is ratio between RUT (Russell 2000 Index) and S&P500 Index, and it back to support that was never seen over the past 25 years, since March 1999. What's happened with market at these times? ⭐ Nasdaq Composite Index doubled in price over the next 12 months (March, 1999 - March, 2000), than turned 4x down. ⭐ S&P500 Index printed +20 per cents (March, 1999 - March, 2000), than turned 2x down. ⭐ March 1999 was the absolute low and was a launch point of 12 years of outperformance for Small caps vs Large caps. Will history repeat itself..? Who knows... But personally I believe - Yes, it can.

US10Y yield to 8%+I know most people don't think this is a possibility, but I think it's highly probable. I think we'll see the US10Y break the recent highs and head to 5.59% as the first target to the upside. Then I think we'll continue the bullish trend and end the bullish move in yields at 8.13%, I think at that point, that's when you'll want to go long risk for the long term. I think shorting the 10yr and 20yr bonds, might be a great trade over the next 6 months. I think the start of the move might take a little bit to play out, but should really gain steam from March onwards. Let's see what happens over the coming months.

US 10Y TREASURY: waits for PCE dataAs there has not been currently important macro data posted during the previous week, the investors were weighing comments from Fed officials on a potential course of action when interest rates are in question. In this sense, Mary Daly, Fed President of San Francisco, noted her hopes for more data which would indicate that the inflation is on its way to the 2% target. She commented on some good progress in this direction, but concluded that “we are not there yet”. Fed Governor Christopher Waller also commented on the potential for rate cuts in a similar manner. Fed Chair Powell should also be mentioned in this context, as he noted that the first rate cut will occur before the inflation reaches the 2% target. The 10Y benchmark Treasury yields continued to trade with a downtrend during the first half of the week, reaching the lowest weekly level at 4.14%. The second half of the week they reverted a bit to the upside, ending the week at the level of 4.24%. The US PCE data are set for a release during the week ahead, which would most certainly bring some higher volatility to the Treasury yields. As per current charts, there is some probability that the level of 4.3% could be tested, however, the long term perspective of the yields is to the downside.

Shelter Inflation. The Tail That Wags The DogInflation is finally cooling off as inflation gradually loosened its grip on Wall Street and the economy in 2023, raising hopes for a gentler Federal Reserve and further gains for the market in 2024. Stocks rallied to their best 9-weeks stripe over the past 20 years in November and December, 2023 (so-called 'Santa Rally') as investors raised their bets that the Fed is done hiking interest rates to fight inflation. 6Mo USCPI Inflation was at its lowest levels since Covid-19 pandemic in early 2023 Top 4 U.S. stock market Indices were in rally in 2023 The economy has cooled under the weight of rising interest rates, as the central bank intended, but remains surprisingly resilient. Energy prices are down. Food prices are mellowing out. But the cost of having a place to live is still rising much faster than just about every other essential. U.S. Consumer Price Index inflation Headline inflation was up 3.1% from a year ago, and so-called "core" inflation, which excludes volatile food and energy prices, was up 4%. But the cost of shelter, which is the biggest component of the basket of goods the BLS uses to measure the cost of living, was up 6.5%. "The shelter index was the largest factor in the monthly increase in the index for all items less food and energy," read the Bureau of Labor Statistics report accompanying the latest data on consumer prices. "The shelter index increased 6.5 percent over the last year, accounting for nearly 70 percent of the total increase." When the covid-19 pandemic hit, the cost of housing surged as those who could afford it sought out bigger homes and many city-dwellers transitioned to the suburbs. What goes into Consumer Price Index That and a glut of savings unhindered by low interest rates combined to exacerbate what had been a long-simmering Housing crisis the U.S. But now that baked-in price hikes and rising mortgage rates spurred by tightened Federal Reserve monetary policy have put a bit of a damper on things, the housing market is also starting to cool. U.S. Single Family Home Prices in "Bubble Mode" 30Yrs Fixed Mortgage Rate is at 20Yrs Highs. 30Yrs Mortgage Annual Payment U.S. Single Family Home, only Interest. Housing prices tend to be “much stickier” than most costs, which means that when they rise we feel it more - and for longer (read - "for ever"). Housing prices do not compressed like just baked iPhone or iMac later in few years of its release. - Does all af that mean that pre-covid levels of relative housing affordability are coming back? - Sure "No". But at least American wages, which are still rising faster than before the pandemic thanks to increased worker power, will have a little chance to make up some lost ground. The issue is still Federal Reserve' lagged tightening policy, that is "The Tail That Wags The Dog".

How to break the marketsIn a fortunate turn of events, inflation has calmed. For equity bulls, more good news. Yield rates have probably peaked. To stop inflation, you must cool down a HOT economy. Overconsumption tends to increase prices. In an unfortunate (?) turn of events however, the markets haven't calmed down. Some charts suggest that the markets haven't felt at all the decisive rate-hike schedule. A question arises: Are markets so strong not to feel current yield rates? Or is there some kind of lag we must take into account? When will equities suffer, and how much? These are important questions right now that need serious answers. A custom indicator was invented to calculate the average-rate-of-return of equities against yield rates. It attempts to answer the following question: How much better do equities perform YoY against the "safe" US 10-year bond investment? Some interesting charts come up from this analysis: In 1951 yield rates broke out of their long-term bear market. At the same time, the equity market exploded in even higher strength. Note that at that period, equities managed to perform better than the ever-increasing yield rates. It was after yield rates ~tripled that problems arised. Moving to today, we only recently witnessed a breakout in the equity and the yield-rate-schedule. Judging from the '60s, we could even witness a decade of yield rates trying to catch up to the equity market. A simultaneous breakout can make sense. A massive amount of money has flown out of the bond market and had to enter the equity market. Equities may be forced to grow, for now. An incoming drop in yield rates from a pause in the rate-hike-schedule will almost certainly create an outflow from equities and back into bonds. Be prepared. The weakness in the equity market hasn't showed up yet. At any point, the steep upward trend can collapse. A crash will certainly come. But at a time when nobody expects it to. Remember, rates of ~7% managed to break irreversibly the equity market back in the '60s. Ask yourself and wonder. How tight of an economy can opportunistic equities handle? At what point will stability become more important for us than growth? Tread lightly, for this is hallowed ground. -Father Grigori

US 10Y TREASURY: easing with lower groundsInflation data posted during the previous week were the ones that the market was closely watching. A better than expected inflation in June in the US made an impact on Treasury yields. The consumer price index in June was down 0.1% from the figure posted in May, bringing CPI to the level of 3.0% on a yearly basis. At the same time core inflation was higher by 0.1% on a monthly basis, bringing core inflation to the level of 3.3% y/y. The evident slowdown in inflation figures supported market expectations that the Fed might cut interest rates in September this year, in which sense, 10Y Treasury yields dropped to the level of 4.18% as of the end of the week. In terms of technical analysis, the 10Y Treasury yields are still testing the 4.20% level. In this sense some lower volatility might be expected in the week ahead. The market might turn once again to the upside, to the levels modestly above the 4.20% level. Charts are indicating probability for 4.30%, however, this might be the case for a week or two weeks ahead. In any case, the longer term perspective for Treasury yields is further decreased.

US 10Y TREASURY: June inflation and PPIMarkets reacted to released unemployment data during the previous week. The increasing unemployment to 4.1% in June from 4.0% in May was an indication to investors of a possibility that inflation pressures will slow down on decreased employment and that it will provide the necessary space for the Fed to cut interest rates in September. After struggling to sustain yields during the past several weeks, the market finally reacted in a relaxed manner during the previous week, by bringing the 10Y benchmark yields down to 4.28% on Friday. Yields started the week around level of 4.48%. For the week ahead, it should be considered that June inflation and PPI data will be published. Although surprises in inflation data are not expected, still, in case that posted figures do not fit market expectations, the market will correct current pricing. As per current charts, the level of 4.20% is indicated as the next level to be tested. However, some volatility might be expected, but not higher from 4.30%.

BTC Futures. Bulls fade. Robust gain de-established.BTC has reached the top around US$ 73700 on March 14, 2024 as it was clearly explained in previous publication. Since that it's gone around 1 month till now, and no one new high was printed in BTC. Bulls fade. Robust gain de-established. Upside bubble-alike trend transformed into detrend structure with flat top near US$ 73000 per BTC. RSI (14) is sluggish also. This idea is for b-adj CME’s Bitcoin futures contracts, ticker symbol BTC, which are a USD cash-settled contracts based on the CME CF Bitcoin Reference Rate (BRR), which serves as a once-a-day reference rate of the U.S. dollar price of bitcoin. The BRR aggregates the trade flow of major bitcoin spot exchanges during a one-hour calculation window into the U.S. dollar price of one bitcoin as of 4 p.m. London Time. The Bitcoin futures contract trades Sunday through Friday, from 5 p.m. to 4 p.m. Central Time (CT). A single BTC contract has a value of five times the value of the BRR Index and is quoted in U.S. dollars per one bitcoin. The tick increments are quoted in multiples of $5 per bitcoin, meaning a one-tick move of the BTC future is equal to $25. BTC futures expire the last Friday of the month, and are listed on the nearest six consecutive monthly contracts, inclusive of the nearest two December contracts. Technical graph indicates on a detrend structure, where near 73K per BTC is the Top, and near 55K is the target. Technically, BTC can retrace to mentioned above level as it still below reasonable resistance.

US 10Y TREASURY: digesting inflation dataFriday brought some higher volatility on the markets as newest inflation data were released, as well as the consumer sentiment. Although 10Y Treasury yields spent the first half of the week testing levels above 4.20%, still, released inflation data pushed the yields toward the 4.40% level. Released PCE data showed inflation at 2.6% y/y, which was the lowest level for the last three years. Still, the market also took into consideration Michigan consumer sentiment, which reached the level above the market estimate, and exposed consumer expectations that the inflation will stay elevated around 3% within the next year. The market priced recent available information regarding the potential Fed's move in the coming period. The CME Group's FedWatch Tool is still showing that the majority of participants are expecting that the first rate cut might occur at September`s FOMC meeting. Still, it should be noted that Fed Governor Michelle Bowman noted in an interview during the week, that she does not dismiss the possibility of increasing interest rates if inflation turns to the upside again. Since the market reached the 4.4% level on Friday, it could be expected that digesting of the latest inflation data will continue within the week ahead. In this sense, there is a higher probability that yields will ease during the week, at least to the level of 4.3%.

Yields are in a do or die situationYields are pulling back a bit from the run they had yesterday. It was expected to have a bounce at the support levels. The 2Yr & 10Yr #Yield both look as if they want to settle a bit but time till tell . We will see how Yield reacts over the next few days. It is important as a crashing yield can mean higher prices all across the board in many assets. We've stated before that they CANNOT lower rates but at the same time CANNOT raise them. Seems as if they are playing around a bit providing liquidity to keep markets propped up a bit AND they may keep rates steady or just have 1 rate drop, before election. TVC:TNX

US 10Y TREASURY: PCE weekUS Treasury yields had a relatively calmer week. Higher volatility was exhausted after the FOMC meeting, two weeks ago. The economic data are weighted and in expectation of the new ones the 10Y US benchmark was moving within a relatively short range, between levels of 4.20% and 4.29%. However, the major concern of market participants continues to be when the Fed will cut interest rates? Recent economic data are showing some potential that the US economy is beginning to slow down. This might be one of the triggering events for the Fed to cut interest rates, despite relatively elevated inflation figures. The week ahead is bringing PCE data for May, which is Fed`s favorite inflation gauge. In case of any surprises, the volatility might be easily back on markets. As per current charts, there is some potential for 10Y yields to test a bit higher ground, above 4.30%, while continuing to test the 4.20% level.

US 10Y TREASURY: maybe September?Markets have survived another FOMC meeting, and volatility induced by their narrative. From initially planned three rate cuts during the course of this year, we have learned from Fed Chair Powell, that there will probably be only one rate cut this year. The markets have switched their attention on when this first pivoting might occur, with current estimates that it might be in September. Whether this will be the case it is unclear, considering that the Fed missed their own estimates, let alone estimates from the market. The 10Y Treasury yields started the previous week around the level of 4.47% and during the week, Treasuries were traded higher in prices and lower in yields. The lowest yield reached was at 4.19%, still, the market closed Friday`s trading session at 4.22%. The level of 4.20% should be tested in the coming period. In this sense, it should not be expected to have lower yields from the current ones. Some short volatility toward the upside is possible but not the significant one. At this point on charts, the level of 4.3% might be a target of 10Y yields, but only shortly.
