OPEN INTEREST LEVELS WITNESSED SOME “REASONABLE” CHANGES LAST YEAR SO WILL WATCH THAT OVER THE NEXT FEW MONTHS!

OPEN INTEREST SUFFERED A SIGNIFICANT DROP SINCE MANY NATURAL REAL MONEY “LONGS” TOOK PROFITS (MARCH 2020). WE ARE STILL WITNESSING SOME BUYERS OF BOND DIPS BUT AS A WHOLE THE DEMAND IS LOWER WITH LONG HOLDERS HISTORICALLY REDUCED.

MACROCOSM: GILTS > Supply, Cash Flows and Covid... Quick Rundown

GILTS Supply - Reminder

> Between today and Feb 2nd we have 8 conventionals auctions and a 2046s syndication (expected Jan 19th).

> Here's the list:

Jan 6 0Q31s

Jan 12 0E28s

Jan 12 1F54s *

Jan 21 0E24s

Jan 19 New 46s Deal *

Jan 26 0F35s *

Jan 26 0F50s *

Feb 2  0E26s

Feb 2  1F71s *

So, 5 of these 8 are 15yrs+.

> So, while this supply calendar looks awfully long-end heavy, our friends at the DMO have a few £££ up their sleeves that will mitigate much of the impact:

1) Of the £2.731bn cpn flows hitting the mkt on Jan 22nd (non-DMO/APF), £1.966bn of them are paid to 20yr-ultras issues. 

2) We have 5 20y+ APF operations of £1.48bn each over that span.

3) The 1H21s mature on Jan 22nd, returning ~25.3bn to the market, much of which will end up in the short-end but, at the margin, is still gilts supportive.


> So, while there's likely to be a bit of slippage between supply DV01 vs APF/Cpn flows, this looks fairly close to a neutral outlook.


> The chart below of the UKT 4T30-0F50 yield sprd vs 0F50s yields shows there's still an embedded directional bias on the curve which has kept the sprd in a 6bps range since August. Given the random walk Covid is now, directional calls are very tough, even at these levels.

 


> What we CAN count on, in varying degrees, however, is for GEMMs to work their magic on the curve (micro mainly), cheapening issues and sectors in advance of the supply. We're seeing this already with 45s-47s and will likely see it in 34s-36s, ultras and 49-50s...

As an illustration, here's the BBG GOVY Spline page with the 4Q46 circled. We can see that the market's already cheapened up the issue in anticipation of the syndication, one of the biggest risk events in the UK this qtr.

 

 

We'll be back with trade strategies shortly… stay tuned.

 

 

Best,

 

Mark

FX UPDATE : USD WEAKNESS CONTINUES INTO THE NEW YEAR GIVEN FURTHER MAJOR LEVELS HAVE BEEN BREACHED.

FX UPDATE : USD WEAKNESS CONTINUES INTO THE NEW YEAR GIVEN FURTHER MAJOR LEVELS HAVE BEEN BREACHED.

THE AUD HAS PAUSED BUT STILL HAS SIGNIFICANT UPSIDE POTENTIAL.

USDSEK HAS BREACHED ITS LONGSTANDING 38.2% RET 8.3027 AND USDNOK HAS BREACHED THE ALL IMPORTANT MOVING AVERAGE 8.6552.

USD MXN TEASING ITS 50 PERIOD MOVING AVERAGE-38.2% RET 19.7005.

HERE ARE A SELECTION OF USD CROSSES THAT MUST SURELY SEE THE USD FADE OVER TIME. SIMILAR TO THE BOND MARKET REJECTION OF ITS MARCH EXTREMES!

I HAVE USED NON-CORE CROSSES AS THEY ACHIEVED SOME MAJOR DISLOCATIONS IN MARCH SIMILAR TO US BONDS. I HAVE MARRIED THE USD WITH BRL,MXN,RUB AND CLP. THEY HIGHLIGHT BOTH USD AND US BONDS ARE HEADING LOWER FOR SOME TIME.

USDTRY HAS A PERFECT FAILURE AT ITS MAJOR 2001 TRENDLINE 8.0084 AND POISED TO HEAD A LOT LOWER.

SOME CROSSES ARE AT MULTI YEAR EXTREMES AND REPRESENT A SIZEABLE LONGTERM TRADE OPPORTUNITY.

STOCKS : STOCKS HAVE STALLED TODAY AND SOME RSI SIGNALS REMAIN VERY OVERSTRETCHED, STILL THINK IT IS A CASE OF WE SHALL SEE!

THE DAILY RSI'S ARE ALL NOW VERY OVER BOUGHT.

THE RUSSELL WEEKLY CHART HAS A VERY DISLOACTED RSI SIMILAR TO EARLY 2020.

I DO BELIEVE WE WILL ONLY SEE THE REAL ECONOMIC IMPACT NEXT YEAR.

FX UPDATE : CONSOLIDTION EVERYWHERE AS THE USD HAS FINLLY PAUSED FROM ITS ONE WAY CRUSADE LOWER.

FX UPDATE : CONSOLIDTION EVERYWHERE AS THE USD HAS FINLLY PAUSED FROM ITS ONE WAY CRUSADE LOWER.

THE AUD HAS PAUSED BUT STILL HAS SIGNIFICANT UPSIDE POTENTIAL.

USDSEK IS TEASING ITS LONGSTANDING 38.2% RET 8.3027.

USD MXN HAS FOUND SUPPORT AT THE 50 PERIOD MOVING AVERAGE-38.2% RET 19.7005.

HERE ARE A SELECTION OF USD CROSSES THAT MUST SURELY SEE THE USD FADE OVER TIME. SIMILAR TO THE BOND MARKET REJECTION OF ITS MARCH EXTREMES!

I HAVE USED NON-CORE CROSSES AS THEY ACHIEVED SOME MAJOR DISLOCATIONS IN MARCH SIMILAR TO US BONDS. I HAVE MARRIED THE USD WITH BRL,MXN,RUB AND CLP. THEY HIGHLIGHT BOTH USD AND US BONDS ARE HEADING LOWER FOR SOME TIME.

USDTRY HAS A PERFECT FAILURE AT ITS MAJOR 2001 TRENDLINE 8.0084.

SOME CROSSES ARE AT MULTI YEAR EXTREMES AND REPRESENT A SIZEABLE LONGTERM TRADE OPPORTUNITY.
