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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrStool Posted January 23 Author Report Share Posted January 23 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrStool Posted January 23 Author Report Share Posted January 23 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the record, positioning is stretched, like biggest in last decade in tech. need some washout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moved 18 times since 2009 (from 11 to 200). MONSTER. I’ve seen this somewhere before…. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
