Stocks are rallying. The bond market is flashing a recession warning. How one expert explains the conundrum.

Markets are easily understood when two global liquid commodity markets tell the same story about the economy.This is not one of those times.


On the other hand, there is the bond market, where the 2-year yield of BX: TMUBMUSD02Y briefly exceeded the 10-year yield of BX: TMUBMUSD10Y, and where some parts of the curve have been converted for some time. Follow the talk to look at the recession.



Then comes the stock market, where the S&P 500 SPX exits a 12% correction and improvement level since its decline on March 9. Also, the VIX VIX index of volatility index fell below the normal level of 19.67 by 2021, which is not at all an alarming level of so-called fear gauge.


"The recession is coming" experts say a CPI inflation that exceeds inflation will reduce consumer demand and quickly reduce real GDP. This seems to be what the yield curve is supposed to be, "said Bassman, who developed the MOVE index to measure interest rate fluctuations during a two-storey operation at Merrill Lynch.


"But since stocks have 'words', not 'real' values, they can still rise in such an environment." So even though Bassman says there may be a recession in terms of real GDP, nominal GDP could exceed 5%. He adds that 10 years should be "no problem" to kiss the 3.25% high reached in October 2018 if former Finance Secretary Larry Summers confirmed that the Federal Reserve had stumbled.


Since last May he has been advocating a comprehensive acquisition strategy, for every $ 25 in the five-year Treasury, with the option of placing $ 800 bonds that expire in seven years' 20 years.


One market Bassman says it makes sense is that loans are backed by loans, when the spread between MBS and Treasurys expands beyond their average. He says MBS is better bought than selling, which is why mortgage REITs are much better.


“The biggest risk of these investments is their funding costs, which are linked to the level of fed-funds. Currently, the market is calling for a high 2.75% feed supply that will be reached in June 2023, in fact when the yield curve predicted that the recession should begin. To the extent that this is true, you can dip your toe; but if the Fed has a lot to do, these investments will reduce their payments, ”Bassman said.
