1/ Quick update on market conditions. Valuations have pushed to the most speculative extreme in U.S. history. While valuations are informative about long-term and full-cycle outcomes, they are emphatically not useful indications of market outcomes over shorter horizons.

$ quote for those who liken a soft landing to the GFC. “This is one of the more prolonged downturns in hiring activity. Seasonally adjusted hires have declined YoY every month since Aug of 2022, which is approaching the same duration in hiring declines as the recession of 2008.”

From ZipRecruiter on the labor market from last night's call: "ZipRecruiter continues to navigate a protracted labor market downturn." Their Q3 revenues fell 25% y/o/y "primarily due to reduced demand from SMBs (small and medium sized businesses) with continued uncertainty and…

The indices soared while the average stock did not. It was one of the worst-ever days for participation on a day the S&P 500 jumped more than 2.5%. On the NYSE, fewer than 70% of issues rose, and less than 70% of volume flowed into those issues. This has only happened 3 unique…

Irrespective of whether one believes in the recession or soft/no- landing scenario, S&P eps upward revisions has been pedestrian and now eps momentum is beginning to turn downwards. That is not a great backdrop for a market on nose-bleed valuations. Keep an eye on this.

Definition of irrational despondency:  The Treasury market responding the very same way to the meek +12k payroll headline today as to the +254k surge we saw exactly a month ago.   I am not sure at all what the bondies are seeing but something tells me they are sniffing out a GoP…

Great to be on @BloombergTV on the surveillance show with @FerroTV and @annmarie discussing US rate dynamics and the Fed vs fiscal policy implications as we head into one of the most macro intense weeks of the year, with the NFP jobs report, the FOMC meeting and the US election…

Agree with @EPBResearch 👇

Many have argued the post-COVID economy is different and the neutral rate is higher because the economy is more resilient to higher rates, but @EPBResearch believes that resilience is largely related to backlogs. As backlogs in interest-rate-sensitive sectors like motor vehicles…

BREAKING: According to GasBuddy data, weekly (Sun-Sat) US gasoline demand fell 7.8% from the previous week and was 8.8% below the four week moving average. We model US gasoline demand at 7.91mbpd, the lowest weekly level since January.

I agree totally and this fit with my idea of trading. Have a mid term bias (am positive on bonds given the Cb easing cycle and softening of inflation, especially in EZ) and use contra trend movements to Better entry points.

Overall, this latest rise in rates has been consistent with the drawdown/quick sell-off period analysis experienced by 2s during easing cycles - they are quick and large in magnitude but ultimately do not last.



👇Really good post on apartment supply by @jayparsons ...only adds downside risks to CPI rent prices @DiMartinoBooth

We've added more new apartment supply in the first nine months of 2024 than we did in any FULL CALENDAR YEAR going back 30+ years. And more coming. We're at peak supply. Enjoy the view (and its impact on falling rents) b/c it won't last past next year, given plunge in starts.…
