U.S. Treasury Bond Market Keeps Chugging Along as Stocks, Gold and Commodities Remain Under Pressure / Interest-Rates / US Bonds

By: Levente_Mady

The bond market just keeps chugging along very convincingly here through the seasonally negative month of May.  The stock market and commodities remained under pressure as Gold has joined the sell-off.  Looking at the Fed’s stock vs. 10 Year Note Relative Value Model, it has drastically swung from bonds 2.5 standard deviations cheap in March to stocks 2.6 standard deviations cheap last Thursday.  Looks like some of the short term moves are a bit ahead of themselves at this point, but the message is fairly clear: the low hanging fruit has been picked as far as the risk-trade is concerned; the character of the market is rapidly changing.

U.S. Treasury Bonds, Stay Long and Earn the Carry! / Interest-Rates / US Bonds

By: Levente_Mady

Best Financial Markets Analysis ArticleThe bond market did exactly what it was supposed to do last week: it pulled back to the break-out level at 120 and then it started moving higher again.  In spite of the massive bounce in stocks on Monday, the market remains quite nervous.  The long auction cycle included a record $16 Billion 30 year bonds on Thursday.  The market received the 3 year tranche very well, the 10 years were better than average and the long bond managed to drum up enough interest to keep key support at 120 intact.  While crude oil is leading commodities to the downside, gold continues to have a remarkable bid as it moved to new all time highs near 1250 on Friday.

U.S. Treasury Bond Market Breaks Out of Trading Range / Interest-Rates / US Bonds

By: Levente_Mady

Best Financial Markets Analysis ArticleThe bond market finally broke out of its 5 month trading range with some conviction.  The long bond future actually traded as high as 124½ before settling back to 122 even at the close on Friday.  While the fundamental data mostly exceeded expectations, the focus was on the jumpy, weak and nervous stock market which provided Treasuries with their traditional safe haven bid along with gold and the US Dollar.

U.S. Treasury Bonds Stay Long and Earn the Carry! / Interest-Rates / US Bonds

By: Levente_Mady

The bond market successfully chopped sideways last week.  Inflation data on both sides of the border remains supportive in spite of the hawkish tone from the Bank of Canada meeting last week.  The busy supply agenda continues to counterbalance the positive fundamentals as another record amount of supply (close to $130 Billion) is scheduled for auction during the next week.  The continuing positive tone in commodities and equities still can’t seem to put any sustained pressure on rates to rise.

Have We Entered A Treasury Bond Bear Market? / Interest-Rates / US Bonds

By: Money_and_Markets

Best Financial Markets Analysis ArticleSharon A. Daniels writes: Bond investors were poised to hit the panic button last week … nervously watching as yields on 10-Year U.S. Treasury bonds briefly pierced the 4 percent level for the first time in well over a year.

Their concerns are understandable. After all, the threat of rising rates has been hanging over fixed-income markets ever since the Fed began printing money at hyper-speed during the financial crisis. And the fears haven’t subsided.

U.S. Treasury Bonds Prospectus, Would You Invest? / Interest-Rates / US Bonds

By: PhilStockWorld

Best Financial Markets Analysis ArticleWe talk a lot about the economy in abstract terms.

On the other hand, many of us are well-versed at going over a prospectus and Jim Grant of the Interest Rate Observer has put one together for the United States of America as it seeks to raise $16Bn for 30-year Treasury Notes.  According to the prospectus: "The Bonds will mature on April 15, 2040. Interest on the bonds is payable semiannually on April 15 and October 15, beginning October 15, 2010. Before giving effect to the offering of the Bonds and the securities to be issued concurrently,the United States had approximately $12,500,000,000,000 of indebtedness subject to the statutory debt limitation."

Watching U.S. Treasury Bonds TBT and TLT / Interest-Rates / US Bonds

By: Guy_Lerner

Best Financial Markets Analysis ArticleIt's a new month, therefore, it must be time to switch my position on Treasury bonds.

Before getting to the technicals on Treasury bonds, let me state why I am interested in and why I write so much about Treasury bonds. In one word, it is diversification. After all, they move slowly (most of the time), and they don't have the pizazz of some hot stock. Treasury bonds are one asset that remains negatively correlated to the equity market. Other traditional portfolio diversifiers, like commodities, emerging market ETF's and REIT's, have become highly correlated to US equities, and they just aren't doing the job they used to of smoothing out a portfolio's returns.

U.S. Treasury Bond Market Alert: This Should Scare The Heck Out of All of Us Right Now / Interest-Rates / US Bonds

By: Mario_Cavolo

Best Financial Markets Analysis ArticleI remember a few years back when in fact, I knew nothing about "bonds" and the word confused me. I'll save you that ignorance and suffering real quickly here; A government bond is a low risk loan and it pays you a steady low interest rate, for example, such as a 10 year U.S. Treasury Bond; for 10 years, you'll receive a yield, for example of, 3% per year and your money is regarded as being in the safest possible place it could be.

Why U.S. Treasury Stock Sales are Irrelevant to Monetary Policy / Interest-Rates / US Bonds

By: Dr_Jeff_Lewis

This week, the US Treasury will begin to unwind its position in Citigroup stock, which it purchased as part of the Troubled Asset Relief Program that began in 2008 to rescue failing banks.  While some claim this move will reduce the money stock available in the economy, the program is unlikely to have any impact on the money supply and inflation.
