QRA

    Posted by steve on 31st of Jan 2024 at 10:17 am

    Gross Issuance 1.1TN on the nose Net Issuance 447BN  Net bills -245BN. RRP is not falling anymore QT Taper delayed.

    1. RRP drain stopping would be bearish for equities.

    2. And yea, that’s a key component of any liquidity model. Bearish as well if QT is not tapered

    Slightly more coupon issuance than projected so bit bearish. Less bills means RRP not coming down, hence no tapering. All in all, I read it as slightly bearish for equities.

    More debt bad for America,

    More debt bad for America, especially middle class and below, but it's great for inflating asset prices  (stocks, bonds, real estate) as the currency is diluted....no?  

    *I just read the explanation on duration....makes sense, but I think it's hard to be bearish on asset prices in medium term when the debt issuance is pacing nearly 4 trillion per year.

    Great see hear insights from you guys. This is all Greek and Latin to me. But at least you are dumbing it down a bit. Ty

    Higher amount of coupons issued.  QT slowing likely delayed.  Too much duration.  Bad for asset prices.
