Karim Rahemtulla, Head Fundamental Tactician, Monument Traders Alliance Dear Reader, Yesterday the US Treasury issued $40 billion in Ten Year bonds. Investor appetite was muted and they had to offer a higher yield to sell them all. That's bad news. It means investors are asking for more rent for their money. After-all when you buy a treasury, you are renting your money to government for a period of time. And, the higher the risk, the more rent you ask for. The auctions for short-term bills and bonds have been going well as there is less risk with less duration. But, as duration increases, so does risk and the risk for the US is not default risk, but risk of fiscal mismanagement. In other words, will the US get its deficit under control? One way to measure this is how much you are willing to charge the government to lend it money. The more you charge, the worse off you think the situation is. The government can combat this by enacting better fiscal discipline or issuing and roiling over short-term notes. But that is like taking out a variable rate mortgage instead of a fixed rate mortgage. It may look good today, but if inflation kicks in or rates don't go down, you may end up paying way more. To All Americans Born Before April 16th, 1963: Did Trump Just Give The Green Light To Radically RE-DO Social Security? What we just discovered in Washington will stun even the most seasoned insiders. Addison Wiggin has the full story in this urgent presentation — including a major government announcement coming as soon as September 30. The ten-year bond also sets the price for mortgages and other consumer debt. So, you could see a scenario where the Federal Reserve lowers short- term rates, but has little impact to your long-term borrowing costs. People often think that the Fed sets interest rates - they do, but not long-term rates. The Fed decides short term rates, overnight rates for banks' lending to each other. That rate is interpreted by the market as the rate for short term transactions. The market (you and me and millions of other investors) set long term rates. If we think things are going the wrong way with the government spending or taxing policies or that we are uncertain of the economy ten years from now, it's only logical that we will ask for more "rent" for the extra risk we perceive. As you can see form the chart below, the rate is still historically closer to the low end, but when it revolts it ain't a pretty sight! The bond chart is the barometer for risk for the US economy and when it says pay me more, you need to pay attention.
