ZN - 10 Year Note Futures / Monthly @ 20 Yrs / The Abyss of DEBTIt is often said by Quantity Theorists echoing, Milton Friedman - "Inflation is always and everywhere a monetary phenomenon.”
Conditions... matter, they change as does the "moneyness of money" - but you can't keep the Chicago School of Economic
mind poisoning down.
That could be why I didn't play with academia, it is a toxic sandbox wed to a beach at times. Polluting the incoming tides.
Friedman could not have imagined how awry his QT has been turned on its collective head.
Gold Bugs to this day, quote this - scores of times every single day. "Were Gold Priced in DEBT
it would be $250,000+"
No one cares, least of all Central Banks who Demonetized it but made it legal to own under Nixon.
You all swap fungibles for... Silver? A Weimar home? Taco Bell?
Good luck, it's a Tier 1 asset on the Books of Central Banks for a reason and trades at a varying rate as it always has.
Q of M clearly isn't tied to it and it's not chasing away Good Money for Bad any longer... those storied days passed very
long ago.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Money loses its purchasing power parity in a number of ways - not simply through more money chasing goods and services,
this is merely one-sided - "ceteris para bis" Jedi Mind Fuck at its finest.
Causation is always assumed from the money supply increase to price rises...a very basic truth, but ONLY a precondition
and not a fate acompli.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The Fundamental causes of a general price inflation are still supply-side factors - for example, rises in wages or prices of factor input costs - which we see in the PMI data - to date not fully passed onto Consumes due to Supply-Side Shocks ) or demand-side ones - high demand causing price increases in markets.
The fatal flaw is QMT assumes an exogenous money world and the wrong direction of causality.
The contraction in Broad Money with a Credit Money System aka Bank Money is destroyed as people move to acquire CASH money
or what is perceived to be a CASH Equivalent.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Simply Put: Aged Theory is flawed beyond. Supply Side Cocktails and the Ingredients of the CREDIT MONEY Elixirs are quite
different than in 1963 Uncle Milty.

Speaking of Credit (DEBT MONEY if you can al it that) the BOE recently raised rates.
China, faced with new lockdowns surrounding the - Credit Squeeze (TY to Shevchenko for the prod to dig in and determine WTF) .
Turns out 6 property developers including the "Grande" have deferred wages the CCP now says must be paid by the start of the
Lunar New Year, oh and... yer gonna need to pay $21.37 Billion in Bonds or default.
Sounds bad huh? Not remotely...
Back wages amount to $174.38 Billion, can't pay 'em?
Lock 'em down, which is precisely what the CCP is setting up to avoid immense Social upheaval.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Are we seeing a trend appear?
We are indeed. Debt Defaults have been propped by Governments to stave off tragic Social disruptions.
Hardly a footstep in the direction of Trust for Journey of 1,000 miles to default.
S'ok China, yer not alone, we proudly stand with you, although we've been at tit longer on this turn, so we're
just better at wallpapering over it with Currency Seniorage.
Yaun / Renminbi - only one works inside and one outside.
Hmmm...
That could not possibly happen here in the US of A, could it?
Naw.

When you destroy the Moneyness of Money with it goes all attendant prior theory as well as the very thing used to bring
Money into Circulation @ Tier One - The BOND MARKETS.
Fractional Reserve Banking merely extends it to obscene levels of Leverage and DEBT which are far beyond repayment.
Toss in the 6% Vig the FED takes for this privilege and after a hundred or so years, they end up owning everything.
They are, after all, the lender of last resort, the DTC merely the record keeper for when the payments halt and DEBT
becomes unserviceable.
What are your opportunity costs to Debt?
What do you value?
Forget Price it's no longer a metric for the sane, merely a distended and starved stomach.

ZN1! trade ideas
Bonds Gain as Stocks Sell OffBonds have picked up as stocks have sold off due to increased risk sentiment. We have edged up to 131'02, the technical level we discussed yesterday. The Kovach OBV has picked up significantly, but is starting to level off as ZN finds value in the low 131 handle. We are gradually trekking up in a zig zag pattern, but will face resistance at the next technical level at 131'12. This is a relative high for December which will be difficult to break as we enter the holiday week for Christmas next week. We should have support from below at 130'26 and 130'19.
The Bond Marekt Awaits Inflation DataBonds have continued their slow decline trough support at 130'07 and are hovering just above 130'00. We are starting to see support form in the middle of the vacuum zone between these two levels, confirmed by two green triangles forming on the KRI. Both Kovach momentum indicators have dropped precipitously, which might indicate that we are staring to become oversold and that 130'00 is a floor for now. If we see a relief rally, watch 130'07 or 130'19 for a target. If we continue to decline and break 130'00 then 129'26 is the next target. ZN is likely not to make any significant moves until CPI data comes out this morning.

Two high probability paths that the graph may follow-We have a strong bearish trend , blue trendlines (blue channel) are strong support and resistance , yellow trendline weaker than blue trendlines , so it plays the role of support and resistance depends from the position of the graph, the blue area is also a solid support.
1- In case the chart breaks the blue support zone , it is quite possible that the chart will follow the blue trend lines (blue channel) going down.
2 - in case the chart breaks the yellow trendline, it is most likely that it will retest it or go up until it hits the blue trendline and goes down again following the blue trendlines (channel blue). Wait for confirmation.
-Nous avons une forte tendance baissière, les lignes de tendance bleues (canal bleu) sont un support et des résistances forts, la ligne de tendance jaune plus faible que les lignes de tendance bleues, elle joue donc le rôle de support et une résistance dépend de la position du graphique, le la zone bleue est également un support solide.
1- dans le cas où le graphique romprait la zone de support bleue, il est fort possible que le graphique suive les lignes de tendance bleues (canal bleu) en descendant.
2 - dans le cas où le graphique casse la ligne de tendance jaune, il est fort probable qu'il la reteste ou monte jusqu'à ce qu'il touche la ligne de tendance bleue et redescende en suivant les lignes de tendance bleues (canal bleu). Attendre la confirmation.
Futures Levels | Santa Rally - Naughty or Nice? (MES, MNQ, M2K)Let's take a look at potential key levels for the week, most notably the session lows from Friday. Will a Santa Rally begin to take hold, or is there more naughty action for the bulls?
This weekend the crypto markets experienced a 15-30% decline, mostly looking like another scene from the movie "Horror For Over-Leveraged Longs."
Given that backdrop, and the aggressive selling on Friday, I'd think the expectation would have been for a weak open for the futures stock indices. But so far, it's looking like the open following the prior Black Friday sell-off, and most markets are a tad green. Still, it's early, still.
Stay Green & Trade Like You Mean It!
Bonds Consolidate, Breakout Soon??Bonds have consolidated as we have expected. We are seeing strong support at 130'19, and appear to be forming a flag pattern bounded by 130'07, and 131'02. The Kovach OBV is trending up slightly, suggesting a small bull bias. From here it could go either way. The Fed is discussing tightening, which would be bearish for bonds, but persistent risk off sentiment due to the Omicron strain could give ZN a lift, though it appears this may be priced in by now. We will see continued support from the upper and lower bounds of the range. Volatility has consolidated quite a bit so we expect a breakout either way potentially soon.
Inverse Head and Shoulders in Bonds??Bonds have seen a bit of a relief rally as we predicted yesterday. They hit the exact target we identified, 130'00, before settling near support at 129'26. We anticipate a quiet market as we go into the US hoiday for Thanksgiving. The Kovach OBV is still solidly bearish, suggesting that this rally may be just a relief rally. That being said, we do have an inverse head and shoulders pattern forming with a neckline at 130'00. If we break out further, we could easily hit 130'07, or 130'19. If the selloff continues, our next target is 129'11.
Bonds Test Higher LevelsZN is testing highs at 131'12. We have tested this level twice but are facing some resistance as confirmed by two red triangles on the KRI. The next level above is 131'20, and this will be the next target if we can break 131'12. The Kovach OBV is progressively getting stronger, but has currently leveled off. Bonds will likely range a bit until we see more momentum come through. We will have support from below from 131'02, then 130'26.
Bonds Establish ValueBonds have dipped but have found support at the levels we identified yesterday. ZN retraced from relative highs at 131'02 to 130'19. It has since rebounded and is currently testing 130'26. The Kovach OBV was quite strong, but has dipped with the retracement. We appear to be forming value between 130'19 and 131'02. If this is the case, then expect further support at 130'19 and resistance at 131'02. Beware of the vacuum zone below to 130'07. The next target above is 131'12.
Bearish Looking 10Y US Notes Can Push USDJPY HigherHello traders!
Today we will talk about 10Y US Notes and its negative correlation with USDJPY.
10Y US Treasury yields keeps pointing lower, as we see a bearish triangle formation within wave 4 correction that can send the price even lower for wave 5. If that's the case, then respecting correlations, USDJPY can see more gains for wave 5, as we also see a bullish triangle pattern within wave 4.
As you can see, triangle, a continuation pattern can be approaching the end, as we see the final subwave "e" in progress, so ahead of NFP report, be aware of that final 5th wave before we will see reversals.
Be humble and trade smart!
