Ever since the start of October when the Fed launched QE4 - or as
some still call it "Not QE" - in response to the Sept repo crisis,
figuring out the market has been pretty simple: if the Fed's balance
sheet goes up so does the S&P500, and vice versa.
The good news for traders is that for the past three months, the
Fed's balance sheet rose 11 of 12 weeks, and declined just 1 of 12, and
magically, the S&P did just that as well.
However, now that the year-end repo scare is history at least until
the April 15 tax date and certainly the next year end, it's time for the
Fed to start shrinking its balance sheet, mostly by allowing existing
term repo operations to expire without being rolled over. Conveniently,
the FOMC Minutes released moments ago provided the Fed's own big picture
take on when the massive liquidity injection since mid-September, which
expanded the Fed's balance sheet by $415BN in three and a half
months...
c
... with the Fed pointing out its "expectations to gradually
transition away from active repo operations [in 2020] as Treasury bill
purchases supply a larger base of reserves" and specifically, "the calendar of repo operations starting in mid-January could reflect a gradual reduction in active repo operations."
None of this is new, and it has almost become conventional wisdom
that when the Fed starts draining liquidity, the market impact will be
the polar opposite of what happened when it was injecting liquidity:
i.e., stocks will drop.
So with the Fed highlighting mid-January as the period when the
liquidity injection goes into reverse, here is some more details on just
which dates will be critical: as Curvature's Scott Skyrm points out,
these will be the days when the Fed's term repos maturing over the next
few weeks, supposedly without being rolled into further term repos, or
as he puts it, "during January, it will be interesting to see how the market reacts to the term RP ops maturing:" FEDは1月半ばに流動性注入が反転することを強調している、ここに示すのはそのなかでも重要な日付だ:Curvature社の Scott Skyrmが指摘するものだ、今後数週でFEDのterm reposが満期を迎えるだろう、term repoの繰延は無いと仮定している、彼の言によると「1月中に、term repo満期に市場がどう反応するか興味深いところだ:」
$25 billion leaves the market on Monday,
月曜には$25Bが市場から引き去られる、
$28.8 billion on Tuesday,
火曜には$28.8Bが引き去られる、
$18 billion next Friday, etc.
金曜には$18Bが引きさられる、というぐあいだ。
Of course, perhaps "interesting" is not the
right word, because it is clear that if liquidity is drained without a
matching injection, the market reaction will be anything but favorable.
That said, the Fed still has more term Repo ops scheduled to correspond
with those term roll-off dates, with at least three more term RP ops of
up to $35 billion scheduled in January. Whether or not banks decide to
use these to roll existing maturing term repos will determine if the
liquidity cliff starts hitting next week, or 3-4 weeks later. Finally,
it will also depend on whether the Fed decides that it had overinjected
the market with liquidity, and if it announces even more scheduled term
repos in February and onward.
当然のことだが、たぶん「興味深い」という言葉は適当ではない、というのも当分の注入なしに流動性が引き去られるのは明らかで、市場の反応は決して好感を持つものではないだろう。ということは、FEDは1月にまださらに term repoの満期を控えている。商業銀行が既存term repoの満期を繰延するかどうかで来週または3,4週後に流動性の崖が始まるかどうかが決まる。最終的には、FEDが市場に流動性を過剰注入するかどうかにかかっているだろう、そして2月以降のterm repoのさらなる対応スケジュール開示に依存する。
For now, however, here is a visual calendar of when some of the key December term repos mature over the next few days:
Is The Stock Market As Confused As You Are About A Recession? Written by Lance Roberts | Apr, 1, 2019 Last week, Barron’s ran an article entitled “The Stock Market Is Just As Confused About A Potential Recession As You Are?” To wit: 先週バロンズにこういう記事が掲載された「株式市場は景気後退を予感させるほどに混乱しているだろうか?」見てみよう: “Investors have long used where we are in the economic cycle to decide which stocks to buy and sell. New research from Nomura’s Joseph Mezrich flips that on its head by showing how investors can use stock performance to help determine where we are in the cycle. Too bad the market is sending mixed messages right now.” 長らく投資家は現在景気サイクルのどこに居るかを見てこの株式を売るか買うかを判断してきた。野村證券のJoseph Mezrichの最近の研究では、これが逆さで、投資家は株式のパフォーマンスを見て今景気サイクルのどこにいるかを判断している。最悪なことに現在相場は悪化改善混在のメッセージを送っている。」 But let’s be clear here; no one wants the party to end. So, despite a struggling stock market over the last year, slowing economic growth, and a collapsing yield curve, there are s...
How Are Gold And Money Supply Related? by Tyler Durden Sun, 06/14/2020 - 13:00 Authored by Mike Shedlock via MishTalk, M2 Money Supply is surging. Will gold follow? M2マネーサプライが急増している。ゴールドはこれを追従するだろうか? Let's investigate an alleged relationship between gold and M2, a measure of money supply in the US. よく言われるM2(米国のマネーサプライ指標)とゴールドの関係について調べてみよう。 "There’s a clear correlation between the annual growth rate in M2 money supply and the price of the yellow metal. " 「M2の年率増加速度とゴールド価格の間には明らかな相関がある。」 Clear Correlation? 明らかな相関? The Tweet claims something different than my lead chart depicts. So let's investigate the above idea in other time frames. このツイートの主張は私が示す最初のチャートが示すものとは異なる。というわけでこのtweetの主張を別の時間フレームで見てみよう。 Gold vs Rate of Change in M2 Money Supply ゴールド vs M2マネーサプライの変化率 If we look at longer time frames, the rate of increase in M2 theory falls flat on its face....
China Injects Gargantuan 1.1 Trillion In Liquidity This Week by Tyler Durden Wed, 01/16/2019 - 22:19 Following what Bloomberg calculated was a record net reverse repo liquidity injection on Wednesday, when the PBOC injected a whopping 560 billion yuan of liquidity into the financial system via open market operations, the Chinese central bank has done it again and in Thursday's open market operation, it sold 250BN yuan in 7 Day repos (slightly below yesterday's record 350BN), and 150BN in 28 Day repos, which net of maturities resulted in a whopping net 380BN yuan ($56.2BN) liquidity injection. ブルームバーグの算出によると水曜に記録的なリバースレポ流動性注入が行われた、PBOCがなんと公開市場操作で金融システムになんと560B人民元を注入した、中国中央銀行は再び木曜に公開市場操作を行った、250B人民元の7日決済レポを売却した(昨日の350B人民元よりも少し少ない)、そして28日決済のレポを150B人民元注入した、結果としてなんと380B人民元($56.2B)の流動性注入となる。 (訳注:なんか足し算すると辻褄が合いません、ブルーム...
Amazonで買物をしてContrarianJを応援しよう Albert Edwards: This Was The Final Recessionary Shoe, And It Has Now Fallen by Tyler Durden Thu, 06/27/2019 - 12:45 Exactly three months ago, in late March, the 3 month-10 year spread inverted for the first time since 2007... ちょうど3か月前の3月遅くのことだ、3M10Yスプレッドが2007年以来初めて反転した・・・・ ... an event which sparked near-panic in the market as historically curve inversion has preceded the last 7 recessions. ・・・市場は準混乱状態になった、というのも歴史的に見てイールドカーブ反転が過去7回の景気後退の前兆となっているからだ。 However, while the inversion was certainly a memorable event, the question on everyone's lips is how do risk assets perform once the curve flattens and/or inverts. According to backtests from Goldman, since the mid-1980s, significant stock drawdowns (i.e. market crashes) began only when term slope started steepening after being inverted. ...
