The Post-2020 History of the 10-2 US Treasury Yield Curve / Interest-Rates / US Interest Rates

By: Gary_Tanashian

The 10yr-2yr Yield Curve is poised to un-invert under disinflationary, possibly coming deflationary pressure

We know the story. A disgusting virus spread across the world…
covid, yield curve

…terrorizing society into social and economic lockdown, causing crude oil to go to zero and many markets to begin a crash. The Fed sprang into action with Zero Interest Rate Policy (ZIRP), QE, MMT and whatever other TMM (total market manipulation) it could think of in order to create the inflationary pathway out of the disaster.

The Fed Leads and the Market Follows? It's a Big Fat MYTH / Interest-Rates / US Interest Rates

By: EWI

By Murray Gunn | Head of Global Research, Elliott Wave International

We help investors by analyzing what really drives the markets. Along the way, we often uncover a market myth, something most investors believe moves the markets, but really doesn't.

I want to show you one of the biggest market myths in existence. It will help you understand what the Fed can and cannot do.

The one thing the Federal Reserve can do is control the money supply. The physical printing of dollars, or the digital creation of reserves, is in its gift. The natural state of affairs is for the money supply to grow at a rate of around 5% per annum.

Why US Interest Rates are a Nothing Burger / Interest-Rates / US Interest Rates

By: Nadeem_Walayat

All eyes today will be on the Fed and it's interest rate decision, weren't we supposed be having a cut in March? That's gone! Kicked down the road. So no rate cut today or at the next meeting nor likely in June. And each time the Fed holds the MSM clowns cry stocks must fall due to failure for rate cuts to materialise all whilst the bull market continues to relentlessly grind higher.

Everybody is obsessed with when will the rates be cut without understanding why rates should be cut!

The Federal Reserve Is Broke! / Interest-Rates / US Federal Reserve Bank

By: MoneyMetals

The Federal Reserve is losing billions of dollars. As financial journalist and market analyst Jim Grant put it during a recent interview on Fox Business, the Fed is actually broke.

But most people don't seem concerned about the central bank's financial condition. They are more concerned about what Donald Trump may do to the Fed if he wins the election.

The Federal Reserve Didn't Do Anything But It Had Plenty to Say / Interest-Rates / US Interest Rates

By: MoneyMetals

The Federal Reserve didn’t do anything at its March Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting, but Jerome Powell & Company had plenty to say.

The Fed’s dovish rhetoric sent a wave of relief through the markets and drove stocks to yet another all-time high.

People would probably be wise to remember that saying isn’t doing.

Fed’s Next Intertest Rate Move might not align with popular consensus / Interest-Rates / US Interest Rates

By: Richard_Mills

The Fed’s preferred measure of inflation is core PCE, which stands for Personal Consumption Expenditures index. This inflation gauge, published monthly by the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA), doesn’t include food and energy, because prices for these two categories tend to be volatile.

When the latest PCE numbers came out on Feb. 29, they showed January headline PCE was 2.4%, year on year, while core PCE was 2.8%.

Remember, the Fed’s targeted inflation rate is 2%. Inflation needs to be falling to somewhere close to 2%, for the Fed to consider lowering interest rates, having raised them 11 times since spring 2022.

Two Reasons The Fed Manipulates Interest Rates / Interest-Rates / US Interest Rates

By: Kelsey_Williams

There are two reasons the Fed manipulates interest rates. Before we talk about those reasons, though,it is important to understand that the Fed does not actually control interest rates. Interest rates are set in the bond market. Buyers and sellers (traders) bid for and offer bonds for sale. When a buyer and seller agree on a price, the trade is finalized. The specific price, in conjunction with the face value of the bond (always $1000) and the stated coupon rate attached to the bond (and the length of time until the bond matures for yield to maturity) factor into the formula which determines the current yield, or what might be called the bond’s current interest rate.

US Interest Rates - When WIll the Fed Pivot / Interest-Rates / US Interest Rates

By: Nadeem_Walayat

The current Fed Funds rate is 5.25% with he market expectations for the cuts to commence March 2023, though the market has been wrong for the whole of 2023 when Fed rate cuts were always seen as starting some 6 months into the future! In reality it does not matter when the Fed cuts rates because the Fed FOLLOWS the market rates not sets them. And the market rates as evidenced by bond yields has been falling for the past few months.

Biden Bizarrely Brags About Lower Budget Deficits as US Federal Debt Skyrockets / Interest-Rates / US Debt

By: MoneyMetals

The more things change in Washington, the more they stay the same.

Under the new leadership of House Speaker Mike Johnson, Congress passed a stopgap funding bill on Tuesday to once again avert a government shutdown. It was quickly approved by the Senate on Wednesday, then signed into law by President Joe Biden.

Like the last one, this latest bipartisan budget scheme includes no spending cuts. So once again, deficit hawks are left feeling betrayed – not to mention alarmed at the country’s worsening fiscal trajectory.

US Bond Market Chaos to Increase by March 2024 / Interest-Rates / US Bonds

By: Michael_Pento

The major issue with the bond market right now is the overwhelming amount of bond issuance combined with the notable absence of the usual buyers. In other words, the illiquidity is already causing U.S. sovereign debt to trade like a microcap penny stock. This dysfunctional trading environment should become exponentially worse by the end of Q1 2024.

The U.S. national debt is now $33.5T, and the interest on that debt is $712b so far this year. That interest expense is set to double over the next few years as our debt is rolling over at much higher interest rates. Interest payments equal to 17% of all Federal revenue and should easily jump to 35% of all income very soon. The deficits will be much greater when the recession arrives, as the automatic economic stabilizers kick in, just as revenue also collapses. Entitlements and debt service payments will equal 100% of all revenue by 2040 at the very latest. At that point, there will be no room for any other government spending. Our bond market is fracturing, and it is becoming an existential crisis for our financial system. What else would you expect when the nation’s annual deficit is 45% of our revenue, and that is adding on each year to the national debt, which is an incredible 771% of annual federal income!
