hey everyone me kevin here let's talk
about what the federal reserve said
today
friday march 5th now we're not going to
hear from jerome powell
but we do hear from two members of the
federal reserve
these are very important members because
they are presidents of individual banks
of different branches within the federal
reserve system and
they help jerome make policy decisions
so let's take a listen to some of the
things
that they're talking about reuters put
this article together and it's really
insightful
all right so this is a chart of the
10-year treasury yield and then we're
going to talk about what the fed just
said but take a look at this let's go
ahead and just draw on this for a moment
here
this is really our pain began in the
stock market
right here february 19th was really the
last day that we had some good it was a
friday
and then all of a sudden the stock
market started selling off and in part
it sold off because
treasury yields started rising but this
wasn't even that
rough of a rise this slope right here
where things really got
nasty was when the slope or the
acceleration of the rate of the tenure
did this i mean look at that slope that
is that is fast
that is a rapid and so this is when we
began
having our sell-off we had a little bit
of recovery on monday when
bond yields were actually at a lower
point but bond yields started
rising again throughout this week and
when federal reserve chairman jerome
powell talked and spea
spooked the market yesterday we got a
big spike in bond yields here
and the stock market rapidly sold off
but i personally believe this
relationship is going to begin
to fall apart let me show you the
relationship a little bit more clearly
first just by overlaying the s
p 500 and you can see the relationship
gets weaker and weaker at least in my
opinion
you can see that so let's take a look
here let's draw where the relationship
makes sense so what do we see here right
here in orange
we see the chart having a spike and the
s
p 500 or the spy in this case which is
the blue line
plummets we see that plummet there it's
really really
evident then look at this i will erase
this for a second let's go ahead and use
a different color let's look at green
look at this the bond yields oh there we
go bond yields
fall and what immediately happens while
immediately like what happens right
afterwards
there you go the s p 500 goes back
up right and we get this sort of like
trading with okay when the bond yields
go up the stock market goes down
and this has kind of been training us to
think okay all right if we want to know
what the stock market's going to do
just look at the uh the 10-year treasury
yield
in my opinion this is going to break
this relationship
will not last much longer and i think
it's already started breaking today
why do i think it started breaking today
because take a look at this folks
watch this this right here and we know
what the market did today
but the market was insane today okay the
market opened
up today it actually opened green but by
eight i'm sorry that's california time
by 11 a.m
the market started plummeting so let's
mark that for a second
the market started plummeting right here
at
11 a.m the market opened
up at 6 30 which is actually right here
but wait a minute this is when the
10-year treasury was at its highest
point
and this is when the 10-year treasury
was at its lowest point
which is very very odd especially since
we
rallied into the clothes so we had our
most pain when bond yields were in the
day at their lowest point
then we started rallying into the
clothes and we actually get bond yields
going
up into the clothes right so in my
opinion the 10-year treasury yield as a
relation to the stock market i think
that's already
starting to fall apart i don't think
it's going to work very clearly again
next week
why did we have the big run-up because
of that rate that acceleration was so
fast but now we got it we're used to it
okay all right
the 10 years gonna go up over time that
happens
that's normal that doesn't mean the
stock market has to keep selling off
well what did the fed say today and this
is interesting as well because it
relates obviously to bonds
so neil kashkari the minneapolis a
federal reserve
bank president said the following quote
if we were seeing a real uptick in
yields
that would give me pause that would give
me concern
of the amount of accommodation we are
providing to the economy and that the
amount of accommodation we're providing
is falling or it's reducing and that
maybe he says quote
that might warrant us considering a
policy response
they talk in tongue so in english he's
saying look
i see that the ten year went up but this
isn't really like a big deal because
look
if the 10 years at 1.5 and inflation's
at 1.5 percent
we really have a real return of zero
percent
and so we're actually not even seeing a
real uptick in
treasury yields we're just seeing a
quick uptick
that's kind of what the fed is saying
here they're like look we're not seeing
any cause for concern here
yeah sure all of a sudden it like it
ticked up really fast
i mean the five-year treasury bond
ticked up
so fast last week that it ticked up at
its fastest
rate in 10 years that shows you how
quickly it ticked up
and that was one of the things that
really spawned this panic
instead neil kashkari says and this is a
great reuters piece here
we are not seeing much movement in real
yields but rather
an increase in what bond investors are
demanding
for compensation to reflect rising
inflation expectations
again fancy tongue simplify this okay so
bond yields accelerate up the fed's like
okay well real
yields are still low so why is the fed
not doing anything well because the
fed's saying well
because real yields are still really low
and remember real
is what the yield is 1.5 minus inflation
which if that's around 1.5 you're at
zero so real rate of return is zero
uh nominal would mean you're not
considering inflation
anyway so you've got neil kashkari going
look dude
this is no big deal like we're the fed
and we're trying to get
people to expect two percent inflation
obviously in the course of our business
of trying to get people to expect two
and
two percent inflation coming at some
point bond investors are gonna go well
damn everybody's gonna start inspect
expecting two percent inflation coming i
better start asking for more money on my
bonds i better start asking for a bigger
yield in my bonds
like why would i take a bond at one
point two percent if everybody's
expecting two percent inflation well
hell
give me 1.6 otherwise i ain't buying
that's kind of what's happening here and
the fed is like
uh everything's actually kind of going
according to plan
just because the stock market freaked
out because bond yields went up a little
too fast
for you all little paper-handers that's
not our problem
this base i'm obviously heavily
oversimplifying the federal reserve here
but again when you listen to them they
speak in like this foreign language it's
bizarre
uh let's see if they simplify their
language at all
all right kashkari said friday that a
that the new framework is helping push
inflation
up and providing the kind of
accommodation that we hoped it would
yeah no still still foreign language but
basically that is exactly what i just
explained
like what's happening is what the fed
wanted to happen they want inflation
expectations to go up
to two percent the fed is basically the
fed's basically taking credit for what's
happening
they're flipping the script here we are
like stock market tanks and everybody's
like
where's the fed sorry thor came back and
took his hammer
uh i'll get that back later anyway so
this is basically
the fed responding like dude this is
what we expected
so no we're not gonna bail you out you
paper handers
anyway then we switched to a different
president saint louis fed president
james bullard in an interview on sirius
xm
radio he said quote it's not
matching up right now that we need to be
more dovish than we already are
in other words again in plain english
he's saying
yo look we're already telling you the
economy is indulgence and we're going to
keep printing money and we're going to
be at a you know
zero percent rate for like until at
least 2023 i mean we've told you that
like 17 times
and we think that we might even keep
rates low until 2024 like
we don't know how many more times and in
different ways we can tell you that
uh but uh just because y'all paper hand
is uh sad the stock market is going down
doesn't mean that we need to start
printing more money that's pretty much
what james ballard is saying
and so when james was asked what about
operation twist
can't you just do operation twist and
start buying longer-term bonds
because if you start buying the 10-year
or the 20-year or the 30-year bonds
what's gonna happen you drive those
yields down and you push yields down
well that's gonna be good for the stock
market right
bullard goes dude folks
the interest rate or the yield on the
10-year is 1.55
if you look at the six months before the
pandemic
that's pretty much consistent to what
the yields were before the pandemic
and those are still pretty dang low
historically
and the stock market did fine then again
not our problem that there's a little
bit of a hissy fit going on right now
and quite frankly you gotta give it to
him he's not wrong
if i put up the five-year chart right
here this is the five-year chart of the
10-year treasury yields
we're you know right before the pandemic
we were like 1.8 we had a period here of
1.5 to 1.6
in october of 2019 and august of 2019
we bounced around uh in november of 2019
we were like 1.7
uh right before the pandemic 1.78 and
he's like dude
1.566 like the stock market was doing
amazing over here the stock market was
doing fine over here with the exception
of the end of 2018 like right around
here
and this is where the fed's like okay
okay okay we will stop raising rates
and that kind of led to that you know
stock market like
okay but that's different right that's
the federal reserve's discount rate
and we don't want to over complicate
things here the bottom line that we want
to take away from mr bullard here
is mr bullard is saying guys chill
long term this is not a big deal 1.55
percent
bollard goes on to say the following
that he would be concerned by disorderly
behavior in the treasury market
something panicky would catch my
attention but we're not at that point
mr bullard was then also asked about the
stimulus package and he said
that he is skeptical that such a 1.9
trillion dollar package would even get
enacted
he thinks there's only a 50 chance of
the stimulus package getting enacted
now i'm at like 80 to 90 of it happening
uh i'm maybe more bullish than obviously
he is
but let's stick to the fed right here
and not stimulus
so sticking to the fed we didn't hear
from jay pal today he's probably you
know
half a fifth deep okay okay i shouldn't
say that
but uh when we listened to neil kashkari
and we listened to
mr bullard what do we get we get
a reiteration that what's actually
happening in the market
is pretty much engineered by the fed
maybe the fed is just retroactively
taking credit like see
we designed this like everything is fine
but keep in mind the fed's job is not to
pump the stock market even though it
feels like that's exactly what the
federal reserve has been doing since
march
that's not their problem they don't care
if stocks go
down or up they care if the monetary
system start breaking
if banks stop lending credit cards
freeze up auto loans stop
happening that freaks them out that is a
danger
we're not seeing that danger is what
they're saying so they're saying we have
we have no motivation right now to
change anything that we're doing
because what's happening is not a
problem and now if we
gen saggy circle back to the beginning
of the video where i talk about we're
already
starting to see this fall apart of this
correlation between
bond yield up stocks down in my opinion
it's entirely possible
that next week it doesn't make sense
anymore the charts don't inverse anymore
and the yield's not going to matter that
much anymore
i think next week the stock market's
going to be in this position of
all right let's now assess the damage
the hurricane happened the last two
weeks
let's assess the damage is something
still overvalued sell it is something
cheap let's buy it
and we'll see how the market reacts next
week so
those are my updates for you from the
federal reserve
and on bonds hopefully this was helpful
if you found it helpful consider sharing
the video
and folks we will see you in the next
