Saxo Market Call

Today's slide deck: https://bit.ly/2MypAyn   -

Today we look at the strong start to the new week and new month after Friday saw the most immediate cause of concern - spiking bond yields - easing back lower. Australia's RBA announced a doubling of longer term bond purchases and the ECB has railed against higher yields recently as well, and the US House just passed the $1.9 trillion stimulus, which now must pass the Senate. Is the market trying once again to celebrate central banks having the market's back - perhaps prematurely? A look at commodities and FX developments on the call as well.  Today with Peter Garnry on equities, Ole Hansen on commodities and John J. Hardy hosting and on FX.

Today we delve into the enormous spike in US treasury yields yesterday, in part triggered by a weak 7-year treasury auction and how the accompanying spike in real yields finally set off an across the board deleveraging wave, dangerously sending correlations across asset markets towards one, with commodities and credit also seeing some contagion yesterday. We look through how quickly the Fed might respond from here to the situation and the ongoing danger of the "ARK-Tesla-Bitcoin" Nexus specifically. Today with Althea Spinozzi on fixed income, Peter Garnry on equities, Ole Hansen on commodities and John J. Hardy hosting and on FX.

Today we take a look at a remarkable day for markets as nearly everything was bid up yesterday and overnight save for bonds, which sold off heavily again, sending yields to new cycle highs, most likely on the news that the US FDA has found the that the Johnson and Johnson Covid vaccine is safe and effective before meeting Friday for possible authorization of its use. We also take a look at a single outfit behind much of the upside pressure in copper, how FX is reacting to the backdrop, equity earnings and more. Today with Peter Garnry on equities, Althea Spinozzi on fixed income, Ole Hansen on commodities and John J. Hardy hosting and on FX.

Today we take a look through yesterday's remarkable session, in which the steep sell-off in equities - particularly for those with Tesla-ARK-speculative stripes - accelerated and then staged a profound bounce as disruptor guru Cathie Wood was interviewed on TV and crystallized the connection between the highly valued disruptor stocks and crypto-currencies. We also take a look at the ugly action in Chinese mainland shares, an interesting recent pattern in the copper market gyrations, the oil market, salient FX themes and more. Today with Peter Garnry on equities, Ole Hansen on commodities, and John J. Hardy hosting and on FX.

Today we break down yesterday's downside acceleration in the most speculative pockets of the US equity market and ponder the likely correlations with the crypto space, which has suffered enormous volatility this week. Elsewhere, has the ECB already shot across the bow on yield-curve-control and what will Powell say, if anything on Capitol Hill today on the status of markets, particularly the treasury market? A look at the continuing heady action in commodity markets and the crosscurrents in FX also on the call. Today's call with Peter Garnry on equities, Althea Spinozzi on fixed income, Ole Hansen on commodities, and John J. Hardy hosting and on FX.

Today we look at suddenly deteriorating risk sentiments, triggered at first blush overnight by a very weak session in mainland Chinese equities, although the US has been slipping since last Tuesday's record high, and we suspect the spike in global long yields is at the root of the  case of bad nerves. We also look at the huge spike in key industrial metals and the equities that thrive on and are most hurt by the current intermarket moves, as well as previewing earnings this week and more. Today's call with Peter Garnry on equities, Ole Hansen on commodities, and John J. Hardy hosting and on FX.

Today we are pleased to have Saxo CIO Steen Jakobsen on to take us through his view of the lay of the land across markets, especially his views on the Fed and its misplaced assumptions about the economy and the effects of its policy mix. We also look at why the Fed will eventually have to move to a yield-curve-control policy, but whether it is able to without an ugly correction or hiccup in risk sentiment in markets first. The curious struggles of gold and more are also on the agenda. With John J. Hardy hosting.

Today we look at further signs of inflationary pressures from a key shipping rate, look at the evidence of the Fed's hubris as showcased in the FOMC minutes late yesterday and the risk they are setting up for a policy mistake on inflation. Also a look at the latest action in treasuries and the odd shape of the "breakeven curve" ahead of today's important US 30-year TIPS auction. Rising real yields of late are also an issue and the driver for gold struggling at critical support. This and more in today's episode, featuring Althea Spinozzi on fixed income, Ole Hansen on commodities and John J. Hardy hosting and on FX.
