Primary Dealer Clown Show Danger Pales in Comparison to Hedgie Daredevils

Primary Dealers remain modestly net xxxx the bond market, including both their securities portfolios and futures hedges. That’s a problem, considering not only what’s going on right now, but what has been going on for the past 3 months. Non-subscribers, click here for access.

Technically Treasuries are near an important inflection point on the charts. Repo shows extended leverage among dealers. They are slightly xxxxx overall, which isn’t bullish for the big picture. They are leveraged to the hilt and they’re taking hits. Non-subscribers, click here for access.

Hedge fund positions in Treasuries have blown the basement out of their record short position. The mind boggling short position is based on a hedged carry trade that just keeps getting bigger and bigger. This is partly a function of ever increasing supply. Non-subscribers, click here for access.

That has the potential to trigger an unstable unwinding. So far it hasn’t. The rally goes on and their short position keeps getting bigger. It’s not clear how long it will be until this breaks. We must remain vigilant for a sign, whether it be in the liquidity data or the technical side. Non-subscribers, click here for access.

Between both the dealers and the hedge funds we see these enormous positions, extreme leverage, and one-way hedged bets. Whatever way this breaks, the move should be big and fast in both bonds and stocks. However, we don’t yet have a tell on which market takes the hit, and which takes off. Or maybe with the extreme leverage, they both implode. Something big is coming, but when and how are still unclear. We need to be vigilant for something big. Here’s what to do in the meantime while we lie in wait, ever watchful. Non-subscribers, click here for access.

Here’s Hard Evidence that the Slowing Economy Narrative is False

Recently, the narrative used to explain or excuse the recent performance of US stocks and bonds is that the US economy is slowing. The crystal ball gazers are seeing something that just isn’t there in the real time data. If anything, the economy has started running hot again. Whether it undergoes a normal short-term economic pause here, or breaks out into runaway growth, remains to be seen. But there’s no sign of any material slowing in real time tax collections data.

Gold a Hold While Miners Blasted

The selloff on Tuesday didn’t quite do enough to confirm the forecast of a top here. A drop below 2470 would tend to do so. Non-subscribers click here for access.

Withholding Tax Collections Support Sufficient Liquidity Growth

Withholding tax collections grew enough in August to support existing market trends. Non-subscribers, click here for the rest of the story.

Subscribers, click here to download the report.

Meanwhile, after my repeated warnings that the tax collection data did not support the BLS monthly nonfarm payrolls fiction, the other shoe dropped. The BLS announced a downward benchmark revision of 800,000 jobs for the year. This was due to an average monthly overstatement of “only” 67,000 jobs per month. Non-subscribers, click here for the rest of the story.

And let’s not forget the monthly revisions, which are often material. What a joke. I’ll stick with analyzing the tax data, which tells us all we need to know about the all-important Federal revenues in real time. That, secondarily, tells us something about the US economy, and how much excess liquidity it might be generating from business profits and employment income. Excess income becomes excess liquidity in bank accounts and money market funds, available to buy stocks and bonds.

Regardless of how misleading the jobs reports may be, nominal revenue growth, from both jobs and inflation, has been strong enough to restrain the growth of Treasury supply and enable the US Treasury to build an enormous hoard of cash while cutting bond and note issuance.

That doesn’t change the fact that there’s still a tsunami of supply coming. But if the mix emphasizes T-bills, the market can readily fund that through using the T-bills as collateral for repo at 97% of face value.

Of course, whether it will do that or not depends on psychology, which we consider with the analysis of ratios of stock prices to liquidity in other reports.

There’s not enough evidence yet in the tax data to suggest that that strong revenue growth holding back the growth of Treasury issuance has changed. Withholding tax revenue rebounded in August enough to xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxx July. There’s enough revenue to xxxxxxxxx xxxxx expected T-bill xxxxxxxxxx xxxxxx xxxxxxx result of September estimated tax collections. The Treasury has already posted a modest T-bill paydown for this week. We’ve estimated that xxxxxxx xxxxxx xxxxxxxx, once the quarterly tax windfall is collected on September 16.

To see the data for August visualized and learn what to expect …
