U.S. Two-Year Yield at New Cycle High in Fed-Driven Selloff
Treasury yields resumed their climb Thursday led by the two-year note as traders began to hedge the possibility that the Federal Reserve will tighten policy more sharply at forthcoming meetings.
The policy-sensitive two-year yield climbed almost 10 basis points to a fresh cycle peak above 2.67% as traders began pricing in the first hint of a 75 basis-point rate hike at either the May or June policy meetings. Selling pressure extended across the Treasury curve with the five-year yield up 8.5 basis points at 2.945%. The 10-year rose 6.5 basis points to 2.895% and the 30-year bond was 6 basis points higher at 2.93%.
The renewed bearish tone in the bond market was spurred in part by a selloff in Eurozone government debt on heightened expectations for rate hikes later this summer in the region. The German two-year yield surged 12 basis points to 0.16%, its highest level since 2014 and up from minus 0.7% in March. The U.K. two-year gilt yield climbed nearly 15 basis points to 1.70%, its highest level since 2009.
Traders are also waiting to hear Fed chair Jay Powell, who is speaking alongside ECB President Christine Lagarde at an IMF panel at 1pm. Powell’s remarks will mark the final public appearance by a Fed official before the May 4 meeting and are expected to solidify expectations of a half-point rise in the funds rate from its current range of 0.25% to 0.5%. Traders are also attuned to any details regarding plans by the central bank to shrink its $9 trillion balance sheet.
In addition, Powell will deliver welcome remarks before the Volcker Alliance and Penn Institute for Urban Research’s Special Briefing entitled, “Inflation and Recession Risks for States and Cities” at 11 a.m.
All told, the U.S. rates market now expects 2.33 percentage points of additional rate hikes by the Fed’s December meeting, a rise of 20 basis points since the close on Monday. Selling pressure in the front end was triggered in part by large block sales in both the two-year note and September 2022 eurodollar futures contracts. Fed-dated OIS contracts priced in 103 basis points of rate hikes over the next two policy meetings, or an additional 3 basis points more than two 50 basis point moves.

Goldman Sachs forecasts 35% chance of a recession in next 2 years
Goldman Sachs forecasts 35% chance of a recession in next 2 years
The Federal Reserve may inadvertently trigger an economic recession next year as it moves to tame the hottest inflation in four decades, according to Goldman Sachs economists. The economists, led by Jan Hatzius, said in an analyst note that the expected policy tightening trajectory the U.S. central bank is about to embark on raises the odds of a recession to 15% in the next 12 months and 35% within the next 24 months. Hatzius noted that 11 of the 14 tightening cycles since World War II have been followed by a recession within two years, though only eight of them can be partially attributed to Fed policy. Soft, or "softish," landings have become more common recently.
"Taken at face value, these historical patterns suggest the Fed faces a hard path to a soft landing as it aims to close the jobs-workers gap and bring inflation back towards its 2% target," Hatzius wrote.The analysis comes as the Fed takes a more hawkish approach to fighting inflation, which is at the highest level since December 1981. Policymakers raised rates by a quarter-percentage point in March, and have since signaled support for a faster, half-percentage point increase at their May meeting.Traders are now pricing in more than a 95% chance of a hefty half-point rate jump when policymakers meet next month

Mkt Fag: The steady slow decline since the open on all the indices edition
DOW Close -368.03(-1.05%)23
Smallcaps in the Russel 2000 ^RUT had the worst of all of them at -2.29%. S&P failed at 200DMA and broke below 50DMA, Dow broke back below its 200DMA and is testing its 100DMA, Nasdaq failed at its 50DMA and is making new lows, and Small Caps failed to hold above its 50DMA...FANG+ stocks have erased all of the late-March meltup back to their lowest since Nov 2020
The NASDAQ liquidations continue with the big chunks arriving and getting larger and larger each time they appear-started getting really big at 2:52pm EST with 3.37B and 3.41B 2:54pm and then 3.45B at 3:02, 3.69B at 3:26 and the last one coming in at the biggest so far at 4.04B @ 3:52pm-black dots on cap#2-biggest ones yet. Massive liquidation still going on here but they won't tell you that at all. the DOW had a big exit at 9:52am EST and then road the slow steady ride down all day like the rest of them. The same EXACT thing on the SP500 at same time-big chunk then over the 'top'.

30 year mortgages crossed 5% today and not seen that for 12 years-ironically it was in the second year of Hussen's first term that happened last. Freddie Mac's latest weekly Primary Mortgage Market Survey released Thursday shows the average rate for the most common home loan in the U.S. is now at 5.11%, up from a flat 5% in the prior reading. A year ago, the 30-year fixed rate sat at 2.97%. The rate for 15-year fixed-rate mortgages rose to 4.38%, up from 4.17% last week, and 5-year Treasury-indexed hybrid adjustable-rate mortgages sit at an average of 3.75%. The week before, ARMs were at 2.29%. See Cap#3 for the Bond Complex activity courtesy of ZH chart. And as Equities slide bond yields rise. Thanks to Bullard's comments (yesterday too) that "the bond market now is not looking like a safe place to be," bond yields exploded higher again, led by the short-end (2Y +9bps, 30Y +5bps). A late-day rally - as stocks were really puking, put some lipstick on an otherwise pig-like day. On the week, the long-end is best for now (around unch) while the short-end has been clubbed like a baby seal. And dramatically flattening the yield curve, sending 3s10s back near inversion. For a sense of what is happening to the Treasury curve - look how flat the spot curve is from 3Y out.. and the yield curve is fully inverted from 6 month out in 1Y. 10Y US Breakevens surged above 3% to a new record high

Spaceboi's filing shows that his offer for Twatter amounts to about $64/sh or about 18% higher than the last one. The Twatter BoD is gonna have quite the time explaining why they are going to refuse this higher offer-if he can pull the fundage together. What his filing accomplishes is that he can "show" he has the $ to put in the amended higher offer-and Moran Stanley's (not a typo-they are morans) chunck is roughly worth $25.5 billion. The share price ain't moving though and having a hard time at the neckline so there is a BIG battle going on in it but it is solidly rooted in the mid to upper 40$ range and struggled all day just to maintain the mid $46.XX price while trading well over its daily average volume of 43.16m. Had a few big buys one at 12:06pm for 1.97m/sh and one early on at 9:32am which was likely the "Short Bus" getting out cause it has not done much since opening at that level. It's most recent high was $48.50 and that was Monday.....can't get there now. He will need to use some of his TSLA or Fake X equity as collateral and better hope those don't get hit or it's Archegos time. Helping him is that TSLA is up and over $1000 barely and then started bouning up/down over it right at 3pm EST. Serial hopium addict Cathie Wood can breathe again-she'll probably announce she has bought moar shares after upgrading it to a $5T valuation earlier this week.

Foreign Demand For US Treasuries Collapses Just As Fed Launches QT
With just days left until the Fed begins winding down its gargantuan, $9 trillion balance sheet, and as rates reset higher globally amid a growing panic that the Fed is so far behind the curve yields will soar much higher before inflation is contained, a problem emerges: investors have been increasingly focused on the risk of supply/demand imbalances in Treasuries, and are starting to freak out that there will simply not be enough foreign demand for US paper. It turns out, they are right to be worried.
As Goldman's Avisha Thakkar writes, "the combination of a material reduction in negative-yielding debt, the diminished economic appeal of USTs versus domestic alternatives, and de-dollarization efforts by official institutions should see foreign demand wane in coming quarters."
That said, two factors may mitigate the rates market impact in the near term:
*First, the combination of US supply and likely continued demand from other investors should attenuate supply/demand imbalances as foreign demand moderates.
*Second, while European net supply available to private investors will swing positive this year given reduced ECB presence and rising deficits, free float will be rebuilding off very low levels and may therefore still be a near-term constraint on the set of viable alternatives to Treasuries. A larger impulse to US yields would, in Goldman's view, require either a faster rebound in free float, a further reassessment of global neutral rates, and/or a further upshift in EUR and JPY yield ranges. The latter could, for example, be driven by a resolution of the Russia/Ukraine war or a more decisive shift by the BoJ away from YCC — but not even Goldman expects either of these to take place in the near future.
But before we focus more on the consequences, let's drill down some more on the core matter at hand: fading demand from that staple source of demand for US bonds over the past few years, foreign buyers.
To start, it’s worth exploring the foreign buyer base in greater detail. Overseas demand is typically split into two groups with distinct motivations for owning Treasuries: the private sector and the foreign official sector (which includes central banks, governments, and sovereign wealth funds).
*Foreign private investors’ considerations generally reflect a combination of rate differentials and currency movements, as they will buy on both an FX hedged and unhedged basis.
*Foreign central banks, in contrast, are less motivated by the expected return on Treasuries — instead, these flows can reflect liquidity/safe asset related demand or foreign exchange reserve management when intending to lean against significant currency moves. Indeed, foreign official holdings are sensitive to broad Dollar movements, though they are more responsive to structural trends rather than any short-term fluctuations.
The U.S. Treasury department began a major change in how they classify the foreign buyers of it's issuance-that was about 2006 and one the major changes I member was that the changed the classification of in-direct vs. direct buyers in order to try and show all this foreign retail demand (it was humorously called it Mrs Watanabe) because it was trying to basically show that all these retail investors in Japan were doing these major buys and the term was coined "don't fuck with Mrs. Watanabe".
Last year, the majority of UST demand originated from private investors (Exhibit 1), though purchases from the foreign official sector turned modestly positive, supported by broad Dollar weakening. A geographic breakdown of UST demand, shown in the next chart, reveals European investors had been the marginal foreign buyer.
First, it’s worth acknowledging some of the flows could be driven by non-European demand showing up through financial centers (such as in the UK, Belgium, and Luxembourg). But for European investors, Treasury demand in part reflected a still substantial share of debt trading with a negative yield in the domestic market, likely deterring investors who did not want to incur potential capital losses from a longer holding period (which means that the ECB's push to lift nominal rates positive may be a very negative development for US bonds). Further, a surge in domestic central bank buying of sovereign debt likely displaced private sector demand. It is also worth noting that European investors are the most clearly motivated by hedged yield spreads, which turned meaningfully positive last year. Over the next year, Goldman expects that "all three of these tailwinds to higher UST demand will unwind." Needless to say, that's not good for prices.
He's right ya know.

Bank of Canada Leaves Door Open to a 75-Basis-Point Rate Hike
Governor Tiff Macklem acknowledged there’s potential for even larger increases to borrowing costs as the Bank of Canada aggressively wrestles inflation down from a three decade high.
Macklem and his officials delivered the first 50-basis-point increase in interest rates among Group of Seven nations last week and signaled more hikes to come. This week, annual consumer price gains blew past expectations and spiked to 6.7%
Asked about the possibility of moving by more than half a percentage point at a future decision, Macklem said he was “not going to rule anything out.”
Speaking Thursday from Washington, where he was attending meetings of the International Monetary Fund and World Bank, the Canadian central banker reiterated that monetary policy needs to normalize reasonably quickly. “We’re prepared to be as forceful as needed and I’m really going to let those words speak for themselves,” he said. His comments will fuel speculation the Bank of Canada may unleash a 75-basis-point increase at its next decision on June 1 to keep inflation expectations moored around the bank’s 2% target. A move of that scale hasn’t happened in the northern nation since the late 1990s. Central bankers around the world, including the Federal Reserve, are signaling that faster and larger increases to interest rates are necessary to quell price pressures.
Chairman Jerome Powell outlined an aggressive approach at the U.S. central bank earlier Thursday, potentially endorsing two or more half 50-basis-point increases starting at the next meeting in May. A regional Fed president signaled Monday that a 75-basis-point hike is also a potential option. Trading in overnight swaps suggests investors are betting on half-point increases from the Fed in May, June and possibly July. In Canada, expectations for a second 50-basis-point hike were cemented Wednesday, after Statistics Canada reported that inflation climbed even further in March, hitting its highest since the beginning of 1991.
Before Macklem’s comments, markets were pricing in about a one-third chance of a three-quarter-percentage-point move in June. Such a move would bring the benchmark overnight rate to 1.75%, the peak of the last rate-hiking cycle that began in 2017. That would still leave borrowing costs below what the Bank of Canada considers a normal, or non-stimulative level, of between 2% and 3%. The Bank of Canada governor reiterated that policy normalization doesn’t mean officials are on autopilot. On potential hiking paths, Macklem said a pause is possible as rates gets closer to neutral if higher borrowing costs “begin to bite” and demand slows quickly.
In his meetings with global colleagues this week in Washington, Macklem said he’s seeing a “real determination” to lower inflation.

Japan reworks Ukraine aid plan after India blocks military plane
Japan is redrawing its plan for transporting humanitarian aid supplies to displaced Ukrainians after Tokyo said India had refused to let Self-Defense Forces aircraft land in the country.
The plan was for an Air Self-Defense Force plane to pick up relief items at United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees supply depots in India and the United Arab Emirates, then drop them off in Poland and Romania, neighbors of Ukraine that have taken in large numbers of refugees. Japan intended for the ruling Liberal Democratic Party to greenlight the proposal Thursday, followed by the cabinet as early as Friday, with shipments to begin this month. But "a situation has arisen in which India, one of the supply pickup locations, has denied entry to SDF aircraft," LDP policy chief Sanae Takaichi said Thursday.
SDF planes require consent from a country to enter its territory. The Foreign Ministry received permission in working-level talks with New Delhi, but consent was abruptly withdrawn Wednesday night, according to Tokyo. Indian External Affairs Ministry spokesperson Arindam Bagchi said New Delhi has "conveyed our approval for picking up such supplies from India using commercial aircraft." He added that a request for overflight clearance for SDF aircraft carrying humanitarian aid was "processed [and approved] as per established norms."
Asked about India reportedly denying a SDF plane permission to land, Bagchi said he was "hesitant to comment on somebody else's comments that I might not have fully seen." Japan is considering a new route that skips India and goes through only the UAE. Any such changes need approval by the ruling party. "We'll consider various possibilities to provide support," Chief Cabinet Secretary Hirokazu Matsuno told reporters Thursday.
Some in Tokyo suggest this situation raises diplomatic and security concerns. "India may have decided it doesn't want to be involved in an effort to support Ukraine, out of consideration for Russia," a senior Foreign Ministry official said. New Delhi has stayed out of the Western-led sanctions campaign against Moscow. The two countries have close ties historically, and India is a major buyer of Russian weapons. Maintaining friendly relations with a major power in the region is even more important for India in light of its border dispute with China, as Beijing steadily builds up its military. Attempts by the U.S., Europe and Japan to bring India on board with the sanctions have not gone as hoped. New Delhi has abstained from U.N. General Assembly and Security Council resolutions condemning Russia's actions in Ukraine.
When Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida met with Indian counterpart Narendra Modi in New Delhi last month, their joint statement made no mention of Russia despite expressing concern about the Ukraine conflict. The divide looms over next month's meeting of leaders from the Quad security grouping, which consists of both India and Japan as well as the U.S. and Australia. If India, a player of major geopolitical importance, does not take a clear stand against authoritarian countries, it may be harder for the Quad to unite in opposition to China.

45 is scheduled to attend the 2022 Kentucky Derby
It looks like former President Donald Trump will be off to the races this year at the Kentucky Derby. New York Times reporter Maggie Haberman on Thursday tweeted out a copy of an invitation to a Derby-day event at Churchill Downs hosted by "MAGA, Again!", a Trump-aligned super PAC, that says it will be attended by the Republican leader himself.
Multiple Kentucky GOP sources with knowledge of the fundraising event confirmed it is happening. The invitation says the PAC, along with board of directors chair Pam Bondi, national finance chair Kimberly Guilfoyle, Richard Grenell and Matt Whitaker "invite you to the Kentucky Derby with special guest President Donald J. Trump..." The invite from the PAC — the full formal name of which is "Make America Great Again, Again! Inc." — lists the price to attend at $75,000 per person and $150,000 per couple.
Churchill Downs declined through a spokesman to confirm that this event is happening on its property. "Every year, many high profile individuals choose to attend the Kentucky Derby, including prominent political figures," Churchill Downs' senior director of communications, Darren Rogers, told The Courier Journal Thursday evening. "We do not comment on or confirm the attendance of individual guests or those holding private events not coordinated by Churchill Downs."
When The Courier Journal asked if private and/or political fundraisers are allowed to be held at Churchill Downs during the Derby, Rogers responded: "Churchill Downs does not coordinate any private or political fundraisers during the Derby."
