There is now a clear understanding that China's growth continues to rely on net exports to an almost unprecedented extent for a large economy. The YTD 1.2 pp contribution from net exports is close to the 1.5 pp of the last 2 years, but is almost certainly an underestimate 1/

Public debt crises boil down to the difference between 'r' and 'g'. Here is where the main DMs stand 🇯🇵 The weak JPY solved it 🇺🇸 Cut spending and stop the war to lower 'r' 🇨🇦 Cut spending 🇬🇧 Bad but fiscal consolidation started 🇩🇪 Bad but low debt creates fiscal room 🇫🇷 Totally REKT 🤡🤡

"It would necessarily be painful." Chicago Fed President Austan Goolsbee says the central bank has reached the limit of any ability to wait out supply shocks, which means higher interest rates will have to slow sectors of the economy that may not be driving up prices. He also sees evidence that the AI investment boom is not "staying in its lane," and cites conversations with businesses who see increasing labor-market pressures for AI-adjacent industries. wsj.com/livecoverage/stock-m…

My latest memo discusses recent attempts to rein in long-dated government bond yields and why the only sustainable solution is responding to the underlying factors pushing interest rates up, even if politically uncomfortable. You can read it here: oaktreecapital.com/insights/…

1 trillion in net bills is 3% of GDP -- not a small share of the overall US fiscal deficit
🛑 T-bills total $8tn or 24.3% of marketable debt, above the Treasury Borrowing Advisory Committee’s ~20% suggested long-run share.

“Risk-free” can be painfully expensive. US 10y Treasuries have suffered their worst 5y nominal returns in over 120yrs, Goldman shows. Inflation made the losses even uglier. The twist: after this historic rout, yields are merely back near their long-run average.

“We are now looking for at least a couple of rate hikes by the end of the year,” says Jennifer Lee of @BMO. Traders have put the likelihood of a federal rate hike at about 90% ahead of Wednesday’s decision as the Fed looks to tamp down inflation.

市場はもう「次にどの中央銀行が利上げするか」ではなく、「どの国の財政が先に耐えられなくなるか」を見始めている。 この指摘はかなり重要だと思います。これまで長期金利の上昇は、インフレや中央銀行の利上げ観測で説明されてきました。 しかし今動いているのは、もっと長い年限の金利です。 つまり市場は、目先の政策金利ではなく、将来にわたってその国の国債を持つリスクを再評価し始めているのです。 特に直近で厳しく見られているのが日本、英国、フランス、イタリアです。 共通するのは、債務が大きく、財政再建が政治的に難しく、国債市場への信認が揺らぎやすいことです。 原油高や米金利上昇はきっかけに過ぎません。 本当に問題なのは、コロナ後も危機時のような財政支出を続け、借金が膨らんだままになっていることです。 火種が多すぎる家では、どの火花が原因かを議論しても意味がない。問題は燃えやすい状態そのものです。 日本にとってこれは特に重い警告です。日銀が金利を抑えても、円安という形でひずみが出る。 金利を上げれば、国債費、金融機関、住宅ローン、企業借入に痛みが出る。 市場はすでに、財政規律のない国から順番に高い金利を要求し始めているのだと思います。 紙幣の価値は加速して落ちていきます。紙幣価値下落から守る資産構成にしないと本当に危ういタイミングになりましたね。
Global bond markets are on fire. Every day yields rise in one place or another. Biggest mover today is Japan, where 10y10y forward (red) is up 10 bps. That spills over to everywhere else and pushes yields up globally. We're witnessing a global sell-off... robinjbrooks.substack.com/p/…

Replying to @stanveuger
to be fair, there have been some narrow successes -- the US auto sector hasn't faced a new China shock, the location of final assembly for computers has been moved out of China (not sure how important that is, but some view it a success) and broad tariffs do generate revenue (not a surprise). But it certainly hasn't been an aggregate success on its own terms (look at China's global surplus, China's increasingly unbalanced domestic economy, etc) in part b/c it hasn't been at all targeted in Trump 2 and in part b/c bilateral tariffs aren't that effective a tool in general.

That not just a piece of the pie. That's the whole damn US GDP pie and 25% of the global. I guess food, shelter, clothing, entertainment, military, healthcare is all gonna be free and somehow all those selling all those free things are gonna have paying jobs? NOT ENOUGH PIE!
