Macro Dragon: The Fed Looooooves US Credit 

 

Top of Mind…

  • So we finally get more details on how the Fed is going to be lifting corporate bonds in the US market (outside of ETFs) & it looks like individual corporate bonds will be bought under the SMCCF [Secondary Market Corporate Credit Facility].
  • As well as further details tied to SMCCF including eligibility criteria. Obviously the theme of what we’ve mention in the Dragon all the way from 18th of March - Macro Dragon: Pockets of Value Starting to Show - when we said credit had found a floor, continues as its all about front running the Fed – this is going to not just be a multi-quarter part… but multi-year party! Just look to the ECB who have been buying bonds for years.
  • Again to the folks that say there is a lot of uncertainty out there, yes & no – as said multiple times, there has also never been MORE CERTAINTY… i.e. you can say with 200% probability that monetary policy is set to be accommodative from the Fed & ECB & Fiscal Policy is set to continue to be loose for both the US & EZ.
  • This is a big deal, recall in a pre-C19 world, 80% of the battle is trying to figure out what is happening on FP or MP, and here we know with complete certainty… focus on the 1st principle order of effects from that… as the trends from loose FP & accommodative MP tend to overwhelm a lot of the marginal smaller counter & often bearish trends
  • Don’t get too caught up in the day to day noise – we went up because of liquidity (not because of fundamentals) & we will stay up, to accelerate up because of liquidity & we will also eventually come off because of lack of liquidity – bang for buck having run its course, yet that could be years away… watch the room on the Fed’s BS as a ratio to GDP, using BoJ & Japan as a mirror.
  • And yes once again – nothing is off the table, be it YCC, negative rates nor the Fed/Treasury buying US equities.
