Bottom -- very little has so far flowed into the US bond market (to fund either the borrowing to build the data centers that use the chips or the US fiscal deficit) ... but it isn't clear that the old equity outflows offsetting the surplus equilibrium will persist going forward

As French yields continue to climb and pull other European yields higher, there's a question on many people's minds: What is the circuit breaker, and when does it kick in? Is it endogenous? If so, we are likely still a ways away from its trigger point, especially given how
Financing costs rose in August … average interest rate on credit cards with assessed interest reached 22.36%; average interest rate on a 5-year new car loan rose to 7.54% https://t.co/rZQamsF40o
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent tells Fox's @IngrahamAngle that he hopes the Fed will keep an "open mind" on rate hikes and consider the example of the 1990s and Greenspan. What's interesting about this oft-cited analogy is that there's the 1996-97 Greenspan who resisted hiking https://t.co/xSQ2dV
I've been making the case for bonds. If this cover cannot convince you that it's time for bonds, I cannot help you anymore!! @donnelly_brent https://t.co/v1tYd6DX9G 引用 @biancoresearch:For years, yields were below where the economy said they should be. That is no longer the case. https://t.co/m60E
Write a few 1000 words on adding bonds to a long portfolio. Within say I'm tactically short bonds through 9/30. Cover well. Go max long for alpha a bit above current level using a complicated options strategy recognizing the vol implications of the CTD flip. And people think
This sharp rise in UK gilt yields—with the 10-year up another 7 bps this morning to 5.45%—further complicates an already difficult UK budget formulation. Indeed, this may well be the toughest fiscal formulation challenge in years. #economy #markets #uk #budget #yields https://t.co/6VxoJZp7uD
Following up on the earlier UK budget note: The 30-year gilt yield now carries a 6% handle, reaching its highest level in 28 years. #economy #markets #bonds #uk #yields https://t.co/XExmwZVA4b
Wrote about this earlier this week, but I think the heart of the bond selloff is basically countries and companies (hyperscalers) have no choice but to keep borrowing, and investors suddenly have a lot more options about what to put their money in. https://t.co/zy1bsbnNAY https://t.co/9FhJRqdMax
Interesting post. The move he suggests would be a further shift to mercantilism and would be declaring economic war with the U.S. 引用 @DannyDayan5:Nationalism has made the world more expensive. Europe and their bond markets have been the most negatively impacted. There are actions policymakers ca
question for econ/finance: 1. what's the strongest case that AI is behind the increase in treasury rates? 2. what's the strongest case that AI is behind the rise in inflation?
I really think everyone over-complicates this. There’s a lot of spending right now, a decent chunk of which is related to AI. (all) Spending puts upward pressure on prices. To counteract upward price pressure, the Fed keeps rates high. Treasuries reflect Fed policy. 引用 @DKThomp:question for
And here it was explained, three and a half years earlier, why inflation remains unfixed, fiscal dominance is more in the news, and ultimately, nothing stops this train. 引用 @LynAldenContact:Most of the hawks don't take into account the fiscal-driven inflation situation or sovereign bond liquidity.
Good morning. Europe is facing higher government bond yields yet again. France, now the "high beta" economy yield-wise, is leading a regional rise that increasingly reflects a two-way dynamic with US Treasuries (albeit with varying sensitivities). #economy #bonds #yields #markets https://t.co/o1Vdac
Context to the escalating selloff in French bonds: more policy uncertainty lowers the actual debt threshold at which defaults become a more likely occurrence, according to this paper. 引用 @GonHuertas:When public debt grows, default risk can jump suddenly. Our new paper with @ojblanchard1 and @pmbru
The TIC (US capital flow) data is lagged and there isn't any number for August yet. The last strong print for Treasuries was in May; June and July were weak. But it sure looks like the world wants to finance San Francisco much than it wants to finance DC right now 2/2 https://t.co/yfjkrSBup4
IS THE BOND MARKET PRICING IN A NEW GLOBAL HEGEMON? In the newsletter (inspired by our conversation with @CarolinPflueger) I wrote about the huge spread between US and Chinese sovereign borrowing costs, and what it might imply about a shifting balance of geopolitical power. https://t.co/koH2ow8LCn
Good morning. From the FT: "A sharp sell-off in US government bonds is starting to reverberate across corporate America, forcing companies to overhaul their borrowing plans and even raising the spectre of defaults among the most lowly rated businesses." Remember the historical https://t.co/tzvwm7W2N

This chart isn't likely to get better over the next 4 years as interest rates still fell 170 bp from 2016-2020. So perhaps we look at bond in a forward looking way instead of this silly way https://t.co/Gg7iKvHJ1F
Again if you start from the premise that having the most advanced AI is a matter of national security — clearly a view that’s held by many in DC and SF — then the right policy to tame inflation is not to raise rates, but to raise taxes on everything except datacenters. 引用 @colbyLsmith:NEW w/ @benca

A few days ago, I argued that excessive debt wasn't driving yields higher (link). The repost is my argument for why yields are moving higher, and why they are no longer expensive. https://t.co/AcrblgHGGS 引用 @biancoresearch:For years, yields were below where the economy said they should be. That i
