  • What Rate Cuts Mean for the Bond Market

    From riverfrontig.com

    It has been a month since the Fed cut interest rates by 25 basis points and brought the effective fed funds rate down to 4.11%. Prior to the meeting economists and financial analysts speculated that the ‘yield curve’ – a graphic representation of the difference in yields of Treasuries with maturities between two and thirty years - would steepen. A steepening of the yield curve would mean that as the Fed cut interest rates, those Treasuries with shorter maturities would have their yields fall more than the yields of the longer maturity Treasuries.

Market has already priced in two more cuts 100%. After that it’s anyone’s guess because we don’t have data this month.

Here’s a hint, Dow closed at all time high, SPX an inch from an all time high, txn and nflx down after hours but futures actually pointing to another up day tomorrow. Can’t stop stocks from going up with the Fed making sure stocks don’t go down at all.

Anyone listening to the idiot above knows nothing about cyclic flows of funds .

The idiot hasn’t got the confidence to log in to make his predictions , shows how much faith he has in them .

Stocks nearing all time highs at this late juncture of the business cycle is probably one of the most bearish signals you can have . Look at the macro charts on a monthly/yearly basis tells anyone all they need to know .

You win the douchebag prize for the dumbest comment of the year lol.

I’ve been telling people to go,long stocks for 5 months here, how’s that worked out? I’ve been telling people that bonds are fine and the dollar is on a trading range, which has been correct. A few days ago I told gold longs to hedge their position because it started acting like a meme stock. How’s that advice for today lol?

I’ve been right on literally every prediction, but sure, don’t listen to a professional trader of multiple decades with a perfect track record. Go try to call the exact top in a bull market, lots of people have done that, um, never.
