The BIGGEST interest rate shock in modern history. A thread on how bad things can get. 📉🤯💲 1/n
Let’s start with the broader economy. This is the largest move in the yield curve since the mid-1980s and certainly the biggest move in the era of financialized economies

The move suggests that ISM will print at index 30 in Q4 2023. A material recession is likely upcoming

2/n
What does it mean for equities?

The move in the 10yr real rate is the worst seen in decades. 10yr real rates suggest forward P/Es should trade around 11 implying a level of 2700 in S&P on UNCHANGED earnings assumptions

That is a drop of more than 30% from current levels

3/n
What does it mean for housing?

The move in the 30yr mortgage yield is simply unprecedented. The current average level around 7% implies a 20% drawdown in residential prices over the next 9-12 months on historical correlations

The correlation is VERY strong

4/n
What does it mean for unemployment?

As housing goes, so goes the economy. The NAHB homebuilder’s sentiment is the best gauge of future unemployment (leads 9 months).

The historical relationship points to >7% unemployment in 9 months from now

5/n
Unless central bankers admit to this outlook soon, it is safe to say that a pretty deep recession is unavoidable.

I don’t think they will admit to it (before it is too late), why a soft landing is very unlikely. More in my FREE newsletter here.

How are traders positioned aross assets? 💲🪔📈

Your weekly overview .. A thread 1/n
FX Markets first 💲

No major changes to the massively long USD position over the past week, while there has been net EUR buying by non-commercial accounts.

The JPY positioning is getting shorter again (for good reasons)

2/n Image
Let's take a closer look at the JPY after a crazy week. Up until Tuesday traders increased bearish JPY bets but we are far from the bearishness seen in early 2022

The JPY positioning is short, but not as extreme as seen before. The intervention doom loop is still in place

The darker the red the "longer" the market positioning

Inflation is rolling over in right about every category but one in the US.. 📈📉 A thread 1/n
🇺🇸 Let's start with the supply chain crisis that everyone central banker and their mother referred to in 2021

Freight rates have fallen off a cliff and this is usually a strong hint that goods inflation will slow fast as well

Here is US freight rates vs US goods inflation

2/n
🇨🇳 Chinese freight rates went for the moon during the pandemic, but they have returned to mother earth lately and this is probably the most disinflationary chart you will see today

Shanghai freight rates tend to lead western good prices by 6 months

What's going on in the crazy FX markets? A thread 1/n

Brought to you straight from pizza-capital of Napoli
Over the weekend and continuing into this week, the USD has shown some weakness. The sterling rallied to a fresh six-week high against the Euro and neared October highs against the Dollar. The reason; Broadly improved investor sentiment and a return of fiscal orthodoxy

2/n Image
Despite its latest retracement, the Dollar remains ‘top dog’. With the turn of the month the momentum shifted though. GBP and EUR up some 8% and 3% respectively. Jeremy Hunt’s reversal to a more sustainable fiscal trajectory offered the markets some reassurance.

What is going on in equity markets?🤯 A thread on the back of a BOOMING start to the week 1/n
First up, a quick glance at the major equity indices around the world, where last week’s inflation report ended up souring the markets in the US, while mainland Europe was/is green. Todays close will bring most indices up versus a week ago 2/n
In the US we have entered earnings season and we might get an idea whether or not we are beginning to see cracks in earnings, which have otherwise held up the last 6 months.
