TBT For A Bond Market 'Crack'
The U.S. 30-year Treasury bond market remains in a bearish trend, with critical support at the October 2023 low and risks of a further breakdown. Jamie Dimon and bond market vigilantes warn of a potential 'crack' in the bond market, driven by high U.S. debt, policy uncertainty, and rising rates. Moody's recent downgrade and persistent fiscal concerns reinforce the bearish case, but surprises or shocks could trigger a bond market rally.

TBT: Inverse Bond Exposure Is The Key Hedge To My Trump Portfolio
Inverse bond exposure is attractive short to medium term due to inflationary pressures from Trump's economic policies, despite my generally bullish stance on equities. December inflation data shows a 2.9% CPI increase, above the Fed's 2% target, suggesting the potential for continued inflation and higher interest rates. Tariffs and tax cuts under Trump's administration are expected to drive inflation through increased consumer prices and disposable income, outweighing potential labor supply shocks.

TBT: The Rate Cut May Not Lead To A Bond Market Rally
The Fed's shift to a more accommodative monetary policy may not guarantee a bond market rally due to high U.S. debt and declining foreign demand. The U.S. dollar's faltering reserve currency status and political division further erode confidence in U.S. government bonds, increasing borrowing costs. ProShares UltraShort 20+ Year Treasury ETF offers a leveraged bearish bet on bonds, benefiting from potential declines in long-term U.S. Treasury bonds.

Rates Spark: ECB Presser Bear-Flattened The Curve
The ECB cut rates by 25bp as widely anticipated, but a slightly hawkish tilt bear flattened the EUR curve, which in our view remains priced aggressively. In the US, as the markets head towards the Fed's first rate cut, the probability of a larger cut rose slightly on Thursday.
