life maybe not september hey everyone me
kevin here yesterday we talked about a j
pal tapering at some point and all eyes
went straight to september 22nd which is
the next fomc meeting which will follow
a likely strong jobs report on the 3rd
of september and then inflation on the
14th of september that is inflationary
cpi readings coming out on the 14th of
september both of those reports coming
out right before the september 22nd fomc
meeting the end to the meeting where
jerome powell will come out and release
his statement as to whether or not he
will start the taper so right now a lot
of people are marking september 22nd on
their calendar that's it tapers coming
but wait a minute what if the taper
doesn't come september 22nd and why
might it not well the wall street
journal today talked about exactly that
they mentioned that they actually don't
expect the federal reserve to taper
until november at the earliest their
logic behind this is that the fed will
likely want to figure out what's going
to happen in congress with the debt
limit political standoff remember every
year congress is supposed to get a
budget done by september 30th now
oftentimes they end up doing these stop
gap measures and they have these
political debt ceiling fights but there
is always this uncertainty that happens
around these negotiations that oh my
gosh what if we run out of money then
the treasury is no longer able to pay
its bills and then we have big o
problems like we have a big shutdown
we've seen big shutdown
debacles before uh the united states
bonds lose trust the dollar loses value
everything ends up turning into a
disaster now what's interesting is the
timing here see the treasury on the
treasury's website literally says we
will run out of money sometime in
october or november without a debt
ceiling increase they literally say that
on their website
like i wonder if you called up your
spouse one day you're like yeah hey
we're gonna run out of money in october
or november unless we get our credit
limit bumped up
that doesn't sound very stable when you
think about it that way but that's how
our government operates uh and these
these negotiations
uh can definitely lead to uh
fluctuations in bond prices now we don't
actually expect to not raise the debt
limit we always end up raising the debt
limit uh you know mitch mcconnell ends
up trying to sand back the negotiations
to say i won't raise the debt limit if
you're going to spend all this money on
infrastructure which is exactly what we
expect him to do so we do expect this to
be a tenuous and uncertain time so there
could be potential for a market catalyst
uh towards the downside between the end
of september and the middle of october i
expect this to be
somewhat short-term though because they
generally always raise the debt limit
which
you know that has its own implications
but the point of this is all of this
this debt ceiling discussion is that the
very next fomc meeting
after september 22nd
isn't actually until november third so
it's entirely possible
that we could spend all of september and
october
without a taper that is the taper won't
actually have started yet we could
potentially see
yields on treasuries remain low we do
expect that once the taper begins that
treasury yields will bump in fact i saw
this very interesting chart look at this
right here no tapering
expected tapering
surprise tapering and these are sort of
the expectations for what 10-year
treasury rates might do and i think it's
very interesting that right here this
white line is what we saw in terms of uh
10-year treasury yields skyrocketing at
the beginning of the year
and in order for michael bury to be
right according to this projection of
what 10-year treasuries do so if you're
following michael bury short by shorting
the 10-year
bond etf you would really want to see a
surprise tapering because a surprise
tapering might push the 10-year treasury
yields back to about 1.5
an expected taper is really only
expected per bloomberg here to keep
10-year treasury yields around 1.2 which
i thought was interesting that
once the taper happens bloomberg
actually isn't really expecting the
10-year treasury yield to skyrocket and
if they just delay their taper the
10-year treasury might just continue to
slip until the fed actually does taper
now keep in mind right here this sort of
inflection point list here probably
looks like it's somewhere around
november
and then this year is about january so
if we go with the expected taper
direction then then we'll still have
treasury yields rotate down even with
the taper which is not so good for
michael bury so in my opinion this is
actually quite fascinating because we've
got the market suggesting whether we
have a taper or not we really don't
expect 10-year treasury yields to
skyrocket like the market's kind of
pricing in the taper we expect the taper
to come september 22nd but there's room
for the fed to delay it because of debt
ceiling negotiations which debt ceiling
negotiations could lead to a little bit
of fluctuations in the market but
because of jerome powell kind of being
like i'm not so terribly worried about
inflation
maybe there's room for waiting which the
white house the office of management and
budget just released their mid-session
report and they actually revised their
original inflationary forecast from two
percent
for uh for for the fourth quarter of
2021 so the last part of this year their
forecast was two percent inflation they
bumped that to four point eight percent
inflation and when i pull up their
document here take a look at some of the
things they mention here and it's really
important for interest rates look at
this in the document they see here
lastly faster expected faster than
expected rates of economic growth and
temporary inflation pressures have
caused financial markets and
professional forecasters alike to rise
upwards their estimates for interest
rates in 2023 and beyond
and this is where they make the revision
to 4.8 percent but this was interesting
here
the mid-session report projections take
into account that this shift on interest
rates
won't happen in 2024 which is what we
originally expected instead it'll happen
uh some sometime in the beginning of
2023
so basically here you have the federal
government saying hey we're going to
start expecting to spend more money on
interest at the beginning of 2023
because we do think that interest rates
will go up now that was pretty neat
because when you start having the
federal government budget in that
they're going to pay more in interest
that might in my opinion i don't know
how much talking they do with the fed
but it's certainly more than i get to
talk to the fed uh to me that's a little
bit of a sign that okay so 2023
beginning of 2023 that's really what
we're looking at huh
now in the meantime and these are some
of the things that jerome powell is
looking at we obviously see some
inflections to the downside in inflation
already such as spending on cars and
durable goods like refrigerators those
are falling we also saw that household
income
did go up about 1.1 percent in july but
consumer spending only went up 0.3
percent and sometimes you see consumer
spending
go down when people fear inflation so in
other words when when there's more fear
of inflation
people tend to save more money in fact
take a look at this chart right here now
this chart the spikes here have to do
with the on the left the 1200 stimulus
check then 600 then 1400
but a lot of folks pay attention to this
particular chart here to suggest that
hey if people fear inflation more they
will save more money
so obviously we're in this phase of a
lot of inflation uncertainty and so how
do we pull all of this madness and
information together well the best thing
to do is just write these catalysts down
remember we've got jobs report on a
september 3rd we've got cpi data on
september 14th we've got the fomc
meeting on the 22nd which is where we
think there could be a taper but the
wall street journal is now expecting
this to potentially get delayed to
november 3rd which means we might have a
little bit of uncertainty in the
marketplace between the end of september
and mid-october thanks to the budget uh
discussion and the debt ceiling
discussion and then maybe we get that
taper in november because after all
jerome powell is not as worried about
inflation as a lot of consumers are who
are pulling back and spending a little
bit less now spending a little bit less
could obviously also be due to delta but
right now we see that almost no
forecasters or the fed really think that
delta is going to be a massive impact to
the economy like it previously was so
fascinating insights it definitely
revised my expectations a little bit
