The Treasury market, counter-intuitively, rallied after S&P downgraded US debt. It was a perverse buying panic. In spite of Thursday’s selloff in Treasury’s and poor 30 year bond auction, it’s not clear that that panic has ended. One signal that it has ended might be weekly close in the 10 year above 2.25%. Until...

Next week’s Treasury calendar is light, with another paydown on Thursday and plenty of POMO, so if ever stocks had an excuse to rally, this would be it. The Federal Government would probably be happy to see stocks rally at the expense of a selloff in Treasuries since the government is not selling notes...

The market sailed through a week of light Treasury supply with reduced POMO support. A big Treasury paydown this week put extra cash in dealer trading accounts and it did exactly what we expected it to. S&P threw a little glitch into things on Monday by putting the US on a negative watch. They...

Late one night, when we were all in bed,
Mrs. O'Leary lit a lantern in the shed.
Her cow kicked it over,
Then winked her eye and said,
"There'll be a hot time in the old town tonight!"

Monthly tax receipts for August are out and the comparisons are ugly. Meanwhile, Treasury paydowns this week mean that there’s $20 billion floating around with no place to go in this little game of musical chairs. A few billion here and there to pump into stocks goes a long way, as we see by...

USUK Better than PIGS – Professional Edition
Brilliant. The Treasury got lucky with a huge stock selloff Monday that spooked investors back toward Treasuries. Somehow they see the US as being safe from the sovereign risk contagion that swept the markets this week.
