Macro-to-Micro Power Hour

American SICO

Fed Liquidity Matters to stock market moves. Shockingly, so does the mortgage ReFi market.

Samantha is joined by Dr. Barton Wang @Barton_options to get his take on funding market plumbing - from bank reserves to the highly-levered derivatives market. Barton makes the argument it is in fact the Fed and its SLR and TGA flows along with Fannie and Freddie Mac that cause market disruptions and dislocations - both in lending and equities markets.

The result: The American SICO. This is Barton's code for: "Stimulus Indigestion and Crowding Out". Have a listen to find out how Fed liquidity impacts market direction which will impact your trading!

Is The Fed Trapped?

Are we approaching the final stages of this bull market if bull’s key thesis is higher inflation, and yet, higher runaway inflation is market’s biggest fear? The Fed appears trapped now, acknowledging even encouraging inflation while trying to convince market they won’t tighten into inflation. Bond market thinks otherwise as it continues to sell off. Where are the hedges should indices really pick up to the downside?

Jonathan @vigtecofficial and Samantha discuss what all this means for risk equities.

All Things Bonds

It's FOMC day on Saint Patty's Day this week and bonds have seen no green for months! Jonathan of @vigtecofficial and Samantha discuss the market's 'fragility of chop', growing inflation risks and upcoming Fed meeting expectations.

With eyes on the strength of oil, commodities and yields this year, when can we expect durable volatility and bond bounce? And how will it affect the growing value-rotation trade in general and tech in particular? Samantha and Jonathan outline the impending impact to equities and how big institutions are expected to position into end-of-month and end-of-quarter. Tune in to find out!

Can Higher Oil Break Markets?

Samantha's favorite oil trader, Robert MacMinn, is back to discuss this manic move in oil and the (lack of) fundamentals to support it. Oil is approaching key levels where it could inflict damage to economic recovery.

Should oil move higher on sentiment of pent-up-demand and vaccine rainbow, can a nation of deeply indebted consumers and companies alike facing supply-chain price surges for goods, even afford higher oil?

It's time to get Samantha and Robert together again to discuss where to Oil.

Doom Loops & Equity Nirvana

Jonathan from vigtec.io and Samantha discuss the characteristics of a regime change when markets shift from Equity Nirvana to Doom Loop.

In particular they will address how rate/bond volatility seeping into equity volatility presents itself in currencies, credit spreads and crashes.

US Dollar Makes the Weather

The US Dollar soared with surging yields this past week. Are shorts finally about to do some covering? Why it might be time for G10 currencies to fall relative to USD and why that matters to reflation trades, tech stocks and markets.

 

Might be a very timely talk... Join Samantha and Jonathan from vigtec.io
