LEFTBACK'S BOND REPORT
The Bond Report 1.31.11
A classic Monday following a TEOTWAWKI Friday. Risk was on, and a front end POMO meant another big steepener. 2s30s reached 403 bps at one point and settled at 401 bps.
Corpies: LQD -0.28%; AGG -0.19%; JNK 0.65%; HYG 0.54%
Govies: TLT -0.76%; IEI -0.16%; TIP 0.03%
Munis: IQI -0.30%; MUB -0.53%
Mortgages: MBB 0.00%
Hedgies: TBT 1.35%
We dumped another 2% JNK. We are playing defence.
Our trade du jour was selling EGPT at a 8% profit.

Nice work, Ra.
Our eyes are on SLV, and a breakdown below support.
Also watching Bucky - the EURUSD and JPYUSD crosses.
TNX chart above has to be the definition of congestion !
As you have pointed out AUDJPY is similar.
Let's all wish a safe night and a productive day tomorrow for the peaceful protestors in Egypt.
MUBARAK - Go OUT.
Look, Giles. The Bears have all left, or are asleep.
Later this week might be an excellent time to harvest liquidity.
Prepare the suction device when you come in tomorrow.
Yes, Lloyd. They are all hypnotized by the BEN BERNANK.
After listening to Taleb they are convinced they must shun USTs.
After we activate suction they will all want to buy Treasuries.
Then we will be able to unload our stash to panicked inwestors.
Ra,
thanks for all the charts man.
Karen,
"2 day, ten min cup and handle on all indices.. they've all been trading together, getting ready for tomorrow's 12k and 1300 run no doubt."
check out the April top, would look very similar now if what you describe plays out. We'll see.
Ignoring the ZH hyperbola, just look at the graph. The 2s30s spread is also susceptible to the principle of mean reversion.

This kind of extreme is usually a set-up for equities to sell off in the not too distant future.
Monthly 3LB info:

2s30s hit 403 bps today, a record spread. This extremely steep YC seems unsustainable. Something has to give, and the risk:reward ratio is much more favorable at the long end than the short end.
If the economic data weaken, the whole curve will flatten and move down, whereas if the economic data show real strength, the short end will be annihilated.
Re: HC Bill being slapped as "unconstitutional"...
Well, I suppose after they "signed it to see what was in it" (Pelosi)... What they saw was unconstitutional...

"Hooray," I think.
In re: Health Care.
Yeah, it's the first time in US History that the government FORCED its citizens to buy something.*
Wonder why that's Unconstitutional?
*Yeah, yeah, they force you have Auto Insurance and blah, blah, blah, blah. But, YOU don't have to drive if you don't want to....
Futures still finding a way to stay green. Damn first day of the month.
