"We experience massive interference after Covid more than any other episode in US history. All the deficit spending all the rate cut quantitative easing all the rate hikes quantitative tightening. All of this is policy interference and all of this harvest inflation from the future and brings it now in order to steep in the yield curve by swelling volatility but we have to pay the freight later as the massive disinflation will accelerate like a gravitational constant and an inverse exponential acceleration.

"The MVE mortgage volatility engine as observerable through OAS option adjusted speards is like shear force or shear stress with a bending moment. We need tighter mortgage spreads which mechanically force mortgage owners to increase the delta of their hedging and more agency paper rolloff so the FOMC is closer to recycling their rolloff as rolloff approaches the $XX million cap. This will drive my GAVI index towards its minimum and provide skew expansion like failure points across the system. @deerpointmacro"

"Rising OAS drags up ERP. Policy can suppress OAS and ERP but for decreasing periods of time. This drives up frequency and energy forcing more net policy accommodation. Unfortunately we are nearing the level where policy accommodation needs to accelerate or the yield curve will flatten faster and deprive OAS of supply and that will bid up OAS and will drive up the dollar and earnings multiples of exporters.
