Thank God It’s Doomsday

If you still pay any attention to the incessant clickbait peddled on perma-bear frequented watering holes like ZeroEdge then ‘thank God it’s doomsday’ has probably become your daily maxim since back in 2010, give or take a year. Most likely you are either not a trader or were eventually forced to give it up after watching your account being taken to the woodshed on several occasions. To the more nimble and reality focused rest of us this does however not mean that we should let ourselves grow complacent.

Junk In The Trunk

An early rising (or European) steelrat asked me about a possible correlation between the USD and treasuries this morning. It seems that the old greenback may just have another lease on life and if it can create headwind on the futures and equities side then will it do the same for bonds? Or will it be supportive as a related shelter from a much overdue correction? Well, this really isn’t too hard to figure out via a ratio or left chart.

I simply dropped an inverse (use the minus sign ahead of the symbol in stockcharts) signal of the 30-year treasury yields ($USDT30Y) against the $USD. What do we see? It seems to be correlated in that a stronger dollar appears to [...]
