Honestly I had trouble following his reasoning. It seemed circular and contradictory. And how has the maturity spectrum of Treasury issuance changed. He says that it has, but I don't know and can't tell from his piece, how accurate that is. I do know that coupon issuance has been increasing massively. So has bill issuance. So how does he want the mix to change. I just don't get his point, or points at all. And where was the part about T-bills and repo? The Fed and Treasury have always worked hand in glove in creating monetary and fiscal policy, despite what they say. The Fed is not independent. That's a joke. What the NY Fed says on its website is true. The Treasury staff and Fed staff are online with each other every morning to set their agenda for the day. I suspect that the connection is open all day and all night 7 days a week, 365 days a year. Fucking economists are living in a pipedream.
DrStool Posted January 23, 2024 Author Report Posted January 23, 2024 Again, just imagine what would happen if the Treasury increased coupon issuance even more. We'd be looking at 10% yields again at some point.
DrStool Posted January 23, 2024 Author Report Posted January 23, 2024 It could happen anyway but I can't see the Fed allowing it. They'd institute yield curve control, and buy whatever was necessary to suppress the yields, like the BoJ has done.

For the record, positioning is stretched, like biggest in last decade in tech. need some washout.
WTF Posted January 23, 2024 Report Posted January 23, 2024 We in America like to pretend we live in a free-market economy... central planning... never heard of it....
