The trading floor of the New York Stock Exchange just after the crash of 1929

Over the weekend, the events were covered by the newspapers across the United States. On Monday, October 28, the first "Black Monday",more investors decided to get out of the market, and the slide continued with a record loss in the Dow for the day of 13%.

Obviously the Stock Market didn't catch it, and stages a rally as though these higher long-term yields meant a brighter future.

Since May there have been a sharp disconnect between stock markets and bond markets. As they will necessarily reconnect at some time my estimate is that will take place between the 8thand the 17thof September.

It is very important to understand that these turning points can't be estimated from a macro economic or technical point of view. They can be understood only with an option valuation approach.

Twist n' Shout!

What do we expect now?

Long-term yields are options on short-term yields under this definition they are now very undervalued which means that they can suddenly return to their fair value.



Hence a fast twist of the yield curve toward its normal stable equilibrium.

"It could well be that anybody's who's buying 20-year, 30- year Treasuries is taking a big risk," said Feldstein, who chaired former President Ronald Reagan's Council of Economic Advisers from 1982 to 1984. "Those prices could come down. I think the Fed is keeping those rates below any kind of long-term equilibrium."

These are the yield curves for the minimum on Wednesday (orange) and the expected yield curve on Sept. 17th(green).


Fixed Rates:

Although long dated Treasuries will go down sharply short dated Treasuries (less than 2 years) should get lower and lower yields. It is even possible that some of these yields become negatives.


Even a Pig can be Fed Up!

The spread between corporate and Treasuries will widen fast. Which means that their Credit Default Swap will go up.

Junk Bonds will be worth what they are: Junk.

Commodities and Minerals:

Let me remind you of my article:
