"Swap spread = swap rates - Treasury Widening = Swap spread going positive or less negative Tightening = swap spread going more negative Under normal circumstances this should be a positive spread (swap carries counterparty risk). But dealer balance sheet constraints and lack of duration collateral to fully arb this gap against duration hedge demand are the key reasons why the swap spreads esp in the longer tenors are deeply negative. Basically I see swap spread as a measure of two things. (1) Demand to hedge/unhedge duration risk. Higher demand to hedge duration will lead to swap spread going"

"A bit of trivia but something worth knowing. The X% inflation target is not as arbitrary as some think. There are many empirical studies suggesting that the long-term acceptable inflation range lies between X% and 3%. The X% upper limit exists because once inflation rises above that level bonds lose their countercyclical hedging capability as they begin to move positively with equities. Such positive correlation undermines the traditional balance of power between the two core asset classes in traditional finance and can bring much instability and distortion in the financial market.

"The silver shortage this time is different. The physical shortage we saw in gold earlier this year (and briefly in silver in July) was expressed through a blowout in the EFP (futures trading at a significant premium to spot). The curve moved into steeper contango because the shortage in London was a logistical bottleneck that could be resolved by procuring futures contracts at COMEX (New York) which had ample physical inventories. This time its different because there is simply no physical metal available. Hence the shortage is expressed through backwardation where spot prices shoot above the"

(2) Rate-sensitive defensive equities catch a bid as investors hunt for yield in equities. This will likely cause a rotation out of QQQ.

"Fully caveating this is binary I think TPTB needs a scare event to justify the liquidity cascade.

"You wont find credit risk in GSIB earnings. They have long moved away from Main St catering instead to NDFIs and blue-chip clients. The upper leg of the K-shaped economy is fine.

"Not a major surprise but worth highlighting: X of the X banking giants (C the only exception) missed on deposits this quarter. JPM explains the dynamics on its earnings call and it is about as predictable as it gets: personal savings rate is a little bit lower than expected. Consumer spending remained robust while income was a bit lower. So that's all else equal decreasing balances per account. And as you obviously know equity market performance has been particularly strong which is driving flows into investments. Rates are a little bit higher than what was in the forwards and that is"
