Checkmate: The Coming Federal Reserve Bailout | Disaster.
FULL TRANSCRIPT
is nuts but the United States might run
out of buyers for U.S treasuries which
might mean the Federal Reserve is going
to turn on the money printer again to
prevent the U.S government from going
bankrupt I kid you not this is what
Credit Suisse is predicting a very
particular analyst who has a really good
thesis for this listen to this because
it's nuts and in the video we'll even
talk about how to prepare yourself
quantitative tightening has just begun
in fact if you look at the St Louis
Federal Reserve you can see on their
website that the Federal Reserves
balance sheet has absolutely exploded
from under one trillion dollars leading
up to the 2008 recession exploding to
nearly twice that following the 2008
Great Recession we then saw their
balance sheet run up to nearly 5
trillion dollars by 2015 and then of
course when the money Printing and the
stimulus happened after covid we we ran
up to
8.9 trillion dollars in total assets on
hand at the Federal Reserve now we've
started the quantitative tightening
process as you can see here the line has
started to go down slightly the Federal
Reserve has gotten rid of a good old
about 400 million dollars worth of bonds
on their balance sheet this is an
example of tightening this is basically
the Federal Reserve saying hey you know
what we're just not going to renew the
treasuries on our on our balance sheet
as much we're just gonna start rolling
them off to the tune of maybe 90 million
dollars a month and this is roughly what
they've started doing now the question
is is it possible that the Federal
Reserve ends up having to actually go in
the opposite direction and start
printing money again as we walk into a
recession
this is exactly what Credit Suisse
believes the Federal Reserve will do not
because they need to stimulate the
market but to prevent the United States
government from going bankrupt
yup kid you not we've got a few problems
for the government see the federal
government projects to have about a one
trillion dollar deficit per year for the
next decade and the current debt ceiling
is about 31.4 trillion dollars and guess
what folks we are about
69 billion dollars away from hitting
exactly that debt ceiling you can see
that here the right line is the total of
debt a public debt that we have subject
to the Limit and the statutory level is
right there
and guess who might stand in the way of
raising this debt ceiling which we think
we might hit that debt ceiling limit
somewhere around the summer maybe July
of 2023 well if you thought it was easy
to get stuff done in Congress
your thoughts should have been
extinguished when you saw how hard it
was just to get house Speaker Kevin
McCarthy elected it took 15 rounds of
voting just to get the house Speaker
elected that shows you how thin the
Republican majority really is in the
House of Representatives this hasn't
really happened since once in the 1920s
but more commonly back in the 1800s this
is pretty remarkable but imagine trying
now to get a debt ceiling increase
through the House of Representatives
might not happen
and this is really interesting because
in order for the government to actually
fund it fund its expenses to keep the
government functioning the government
slowly reduces the debt ceiling but by
increasing the debt ceiling would they
actually end up having to do is agree to
create more treasury bonds that's
basically the way it works what they do
is they say hey uh we need another 100
million dollars today what are we going
to do oh uh how about we just issue a
bond and uh we'll just promise to repay
people 100 million dollars so we'll just
issue a promise a piece of paper we'll
call it risk free because historically
it has been we'll slice it up into
little thousand dollar sections and
individuals can go buy these treasury
bonds and we'll pay them interest on
that but basically we just kind of
created money out of nothing
so we do expect the debt ceiling to get
raised so the treasury Department can
generate more of these bonds and fund
the government how much it gets raised
will be up for a debate but what's crazy
is who's going to buy these bonds what
if people stop buying these bonds who
comes in to buy the bonds when the
government stops
uh having buyers for the treasury bonds
well that's where Credit Suisse believes
it's the Federal Reserve so as the
government knocks on the door of
bankruptcy it's possible the Federal
Reserve may have to come and start
turning the money printers on again and
end quantitative tightening early
solely to support the actual function of
the government
now that's fascinating because you might
think to yourself well who's buying
treasury bonds today and isn't it
possible that you know the people buying
treasury bonds today will just be here
to go buy those treasury bombs
maybe but according to Credit Suisse the
first issue that we Face there are three
issues we face in terms of actually Four
issues that we face in terms of ordinary
classic buyers of treasuries okay so the
classic buyers of treasuries the number
one classic buyer of treasuries are
people who need to or institutions who
need to Garner some kind of yield from
the cash that they have available well
problem with that is the Federal Reserve
has this thing called the reverse repo
uh depository account and basically
Banks and institutions have been
depositing more cash in the reverse repo
Market since about March of 2021 that's
why this line has been going up so much
and the rate on these reverse repos is
basically your fed funds rate divided by
360. that's how much you get paid per
night so think about that for a moment
that's your banking year is 360 days
so if you get paid five percent because
the Federal Reserve has raised rates to
five percent and you get paid this every
single day well that's better than a
10-year treasury yielding you 3.75 or
even a two-year treasury maybe yielding
you 4.25 on the day rate right you would
make more money obviously uh from the uh
from the reverse repo than you would
from investing in treasuries so in other
words because of the repo rates and the
Federal Reserve raising interest so much
you actually end up killing one of your
primary buyers of treasuries people who
just want to park money overnight
so that buyer goes away then Credit
Suisse suggests that banks are unlikely
to be buyers so they're going to go away
because they're already holding a bunch
of underwater bonds and they've kind of
gotten screwed and instead they're
taking their excess cash and what are
they doing it what are they doing with
that they're putting it into the reverse
repo Market
so number two goes away foreign exchange
buyers are starting to get priced out
because even though the dollars come
down a little bit recently it's very
very expensive compared to historical
Norms so there's this argument that less
foreign buyers might come and maybe
there's even less of an appetite to buy
treasury Bonds in the United States
maybe to diversify a little bit more
away from those
and finally
geopolitical events have also led to
large FX Reserve managers reducing their
appetite for treasury debt number three
and four being somewhat correlated
somewhat similar to each other right so
Credit Suisse is making this argument
that uh oh your classic buyers for
treasuries are potentially going away
because a you've got a bunch of people
or institutions able to just throw money
into the reverse repo Market in which
case why bother buying treasuries
so who's left then this is potentially
as Credit Suisse calls it a check mate
like situation first use that coupon
code jet down below before prices change
there'll be another big price change
coming this month so make sure you get

programs out link down below this is
potentially as Credit Suisse calls it a
check mate like situation where the
Federal Reserve has to end up coming in
and buying treasuries again and they
could do this under the guy eyes Credit
Suisse says of what's known as yield
curve control now that's really
interesting and a very fascinating uh
phrase because what just happened in
Japan well you don't know what just
happened to Japan
allow me to indulge you oh here's how
yield curve control works run with me on
this I'm going to keep it as simple as
possible okay
10-year treasury in the United States
right now is like 3.5 3.7 percent
somewhere on there let's say the
government comes in and says we don't
want it to go any higher than four
percent
so they actually set a cap they're like
we don't want that number to go over
four percent and the reason you might
not want it to go over four percent is
because even though you want to tighten
markets a little bit you still want to
be accommodative to the market right you
don't want to completely tighten
Financial conditions to where you have
rates so high and so expensive that you
walk into a recession this is what Japan
is doing they don't want another lost
decade they want to keep stimulating
their economy at least somewhat and so
what they do is they Institute a yield
cap and anytime interest rates start
approaching that yield cap they push
yields down they can push yields down by
buying bonds quantitative easing they
buy bonds making bonds more expensive
pushing yields down now everything's
been pretty ordinary in Japan in 2020 to
2021. things have moved or pretty much
been respecting of the yield cap and
things uh you know the yield cap has
been kept pretty low this is somewhere
around a quarter of a percent but it
started breaking the yield cap line on
the right side that's because people
started dumping Japanese bonds and maybe
they're buying U.S bonds or other bonds
so Japan said uh okay well let's just be
less stimulative to our economy let's
raise the cap nobody was expecting that
cap to be raced and that worked
temporarily as the bank of Japan started
buying bonds and pushing those yields
down that's kind of what we've seen over
here
but the Futures pricing is problematic
because the Futures pricing suggests the
uh basically the bank of Japan is going
to have to raise the cap again or
they're just going to have to keep
Printing and printing and printing more
money
over stimulating potentially the economy
again or trying to overstimulate the
economy and introducing all of this
flood of money into the economy just to
keep yields where they want them to be
this is roughly the same thing that you
could see happen in the United States
but with a slightly different story The
Fed basically comes in and let's say the
10-year treasury yield is trading for oh
I don't know let's just say it's at 3.5
percent and then all of a sudden the
treasury market starts becoming
disorderly and the FED needs to buy
bonds so the government can function and
not go bankrupt well the FED could just
go
um we don't want 10-year treasury yields
uh to ensure ordinary functioning of the
market to go any higher than 3.25 and so
therefore in limited amounts we are
going to buy 10-year treasury bonds and
we're going to push those yields down
meanwhile the treasury Department gets
the money they need because nobody else
is buying the treasury bonds remember
when the FED buys treasury bonds the US
government gets the money the US
government is like ah yeah it's here we
have money to buy to spend and now we
can send this money to Ukraine or
whatever they want to do with the money
right
so in other words the FED once again
could become the lender of Last Resort
for the U.S government
and they could do that by pretending to
actually want to Institute yield curve
control when really what they're
actually trying to accomplish is an
ordinary Bond or like an orderly bond
market now what other massive Market in
the world like the fifth sixth fifth or
sixth largest economy in the world just
had to Institute Bond buying which again
is stimulative during inflationary times
well remember the United Kingdom they
just went through exactly that Liz Trust
of the United Kingdom spent 44 days in
office and during her 44 days she kind
of screwed up the bond market because
her Chancellor of the exchequa which is
kind of like the treasury secretary
kwazi katang he came out and said we are
a nation of entrepreneurs okay I don't
know why I'm going angry German here but
he basically came out and said We're a
nation of entrepreneurs and we are going
to stimulate our businesses we are going
to lower the top tax rates to motivated
and incentivize people to work and we're
going to take in less money and we're
going to spend more and the bond
Market's like
y'all gonna take in less money
and y'all gonna spend more money
effort I'm out I'm out that was the
that's what the bond market did in the
United Kingdom which when people are
like I'm out what do they do they sell
their bonds
the selling of the bonds all of a sudden
plummeted the value of bonds
yields
skyrocketed on the bonds making the
financial system really really tight and
because the values of these bonds fell
margin calls that institutions are going
off all over the place all over the
place to the point where Margin Call
based institutions like who actually
handle uh these transfers and the
settlement of these exchanges
didn't even have enough hours in the day
to process all of the margin calls that
were happening Pension funds were on the
doorstep of bankruptcy because their
bond values had plummeted so much
and all of a sudden who comes in to save
the day as the British pound loses a ton
of value and hits parity with the dollar
because people are like I'm out get me
out of the United Kingdom it's unstable
dump the bonds dump the British pounds
who comes in to save the day ah well
October 11th you get the bank of England
who makes a statement dysfunction in
this market and the prospect of
self-reinforcing fire sale Dynamics pose
a material risk to financial stability
therefore we are widening our purchases
of guilts basically treasuries in the
United Kingdom for three days and we
will buy an unlimited amount of bonds
I'm paraphrasing those sort of last
sentence there but anyway
that that the bank of England's bailout
and the ouster of Liz truss who's now
been replaced by Rishi sunak who's now
fighting with nursing unions on pay
increases uh and uh promising to cut
spending of the prior Administration and
reducing debt and reducing expenses
pounds back up over 22 things are stable
again right but it shows you that if the
United Kingdom can have a bond market
collapse like that could we potentially
see the Federal Reserve have to really
come bail out the United States to
actually provide liquidity to the
treasury market is it possible that
treasury yields could Spike as nobody
starts buying treasuries uh and and
people or institutions instead Park
their money in the reverse repo field as
all of a sudden those yields or rates
are even higher yes it's absolutely
possible so bottom line out of all of
this
is as inflation continues to Trend down
and rates go up you might have more
people with money move their money into
stocks and less money into bonds the
people who would ordinarily buy bonds
might put that money into the reverse
repo market now you don't have buyers
for treasuries or too few buyers for
treasuries now the FED has to step in or
they risk yield spiking on treasuries
and financial instability in markets so
what does the FED do well they don't
want instability they come in and they
start printing money again and all of a
sudden this whole monetary experiment of
uh print money print money print money
forever
continues and then we go into the next
iteration of QE forever where basically
we never get the federal reserve's
balances down because now just for the
treasury market to actually function the
FED has to bail everyone out
this is insane and it could come
well to uh to a TV screen or computer
screen near you within the next six to
12 months
how do you prepare yourself for that
well this depends how you want to
position yourself some say the
beneficiaries of this would actually be
the stock market
now where you want to position yourself
in there is up to you personally it
seems like some of the benefit would go
to bonds because you'd have a lender of
Last Resort coming to buy it's possible
to Value those could actually fall
before that ever happens so kind of
speculating there
maybe you just look for long purchases
like pricing power stocks that you could
kind of buy and and hold on to and build
your sort of exposure to in a
recessionary environment as hopefully we
rotate out of this madness and maybe
inflation goes away and what does the
FED end up doing after this financial
instability well fed starts cutting
rates because then you start seeing the
reverse repo rate segment go down below
where the treasury market is paying
people buy treasuries again rates
continue to get cut maybe treasuries
fall more and you kind of get the stair
stepping down and the FED is pretty
careful about ever launching QT again or
does so in even softer ways until we get
those yields slowly coming down again
all of that I expect would actually be
beneficial for the stock market but it
could honestly take another year for
that to happen but here's sort of a
manuscript of what could be coming down
the pike and what Credit Suisse is
expecting for the U.S bankruptcy if you
