More data from the Chinese economy and real estate market which further confirms the dire situation China is facing. Xi Jinping is facing that situation by tightening his grip even further, waging a stepped-up war against corruption even though Xi declared corruption had been defeated five years ago. This isn't about corruption; the more the Chinese gov't does, including purges, the worst it is getting. Eurodollar University's Money & Macro AnalysisSCMP ‘No one is safe’: China purges record number of senior officials in 2023, with more ‘tigers’ likely to fallhttps://www.scmp.com/news/china/politics/article/3247040/no-one-safe-china-purges-record-number-senior-officials-2023-more-tigers-likely-fallBloomberg China’s Defense Purge Strikes at Heart of Xi’s Military Reformshttps://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-01-04/china-s-defense-purge-strikes-at-heart-of-xi-s-military-reformsAsia Times Water in Chinese missiles’ tanks is a fake storyhttps://asiatimes.com/2024/01/water-in-chinese-missiles-tanks-is-a-fake-story/VOA Dreary Economic Data Suggests Struggles Ahead for Chinahttps://www.voanews.com/a/dreary-economic-data-suggests-struggles-ahead-for-china/7444827.htmlhttps://www.eurodollar.universityTwitter: https://twitter.com/JeffSnider_EDU#recession #money #recession2023 #money #inflation #deflation #interestrates #dollar #economy #credit #ratecuts #china #xijinping #taiwan

Ho ho wut? Data looks awful one day but fine the next. Yesterday's Empire Fed plunged, yet today the gov't reports retail sales numbers that look fine. Was Christmas a bust, or was it strong like everyone now says? Reconciling these numbers - including production - isn't really difficult starting with "strong" context. Eurodollar University's Money & Macro Analysishttps://www.eurodollar.universityTwitter: https://twitter.com/JeffSnider_EDU#recession #money #recession2023 #money #inflation #deflation #interestrates #dollar #economy #credit #ratecuts #federalreserve #fomc #fedpivot

The Empire Fed's manufacturing PMI absolutely plummeted in January 2024. While it may be just one region for one month, these numbers are some of the worst on record and convincingly add to the growing list of evidence that the US economy is heading into the non-linear part of the recession process. Eurodollar University's Money & Macro AnalysisBloomberg Germany Narrowly Escapes Recession But Outlook Remains Toughhttps://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-01-15/germany-s-economy-shrank-last-year-for-first-time-since-pandemicNYT Recession: Some Criteria Missing, So Far (1974)https://www.nytimes.com/1974/08/28/archives/recession-some-criteria-missing-so-far-there-will-be-no-recession.htmlhttps://www.eurodollar.universityTwitter: https://twitter.com/JeffSnider_EDU

At the same time, the government is making more extreme political action, purging more top officials under the guise of "reform" when it is more likely the former is really driving the latter. Eurodollar University's Money & Macro AnalysisBloomberg  US Intelligence Shows Flawed China Missiles Led Xi to Purge Armyhttps://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-01-06/us-intelligence-shows-flawed-china-missiles-led-xi-jinping-to-purge-militaryXi Jinping's July Military meetinghttp://www.81.cn/yw_208727/16238925.htmlAxios China's military purge deepenshttps://www.axios.com/2023/12/31/xi-jinping-china-military-corruption-purgehttps://www.eurodollar.universityTwitter: https://twitter.com/JeffSnider_EDU#recession #money #recession2023 #money #inflation #deflation #interestrates #dollar #economy #credit #ratecuts #federalreserve #fomc #fedpivot

This podcast discusses the movement and implications of the yield curve, including bear and bull steepening cases. It analyzes recent yield curve movements and warning signs, examines evidence for bull steepening in the global economy, and discusses the impact of J. Powell's speeches on the bond market. Additionally, it explores historical instances of yield curve inversions and their implications for the economy.

Discussion on the fear of inflation returning, the relationship between interest rates and inflation, the flaws in popular inflation narratives, historical examples of supply shocks and their impact on consumer prices, and the bond market's response to the hot CPI and expectation of interest rate increase.

This podcast discusses the significance of repo fails in the global monetary system, emphasizing their potential to indicate severe strain. It explores the concept of repo fails and the role of securities lending in facilitating collateral flow. The chapter also delves into the reporting instructions for dealers and the reasons behind fails, highlighting the importance of monitoring these indicators. It further highlights how spikes in repo fails serve as key indicators of worsening economic conditions.

The recent bond rally - which may not be over - was one for the books. The 10-year US Treasury dropped nearly 120 bps off its yield in only 47 trading days. A move that big and that fast for the 10s had only happened six other times over the last three decades. We'll go over what that means and what it can tell us about where we go from here; bonds and everything else. Eurodollar University's Money & Macro Analysishttps://www.eurodollar.universityTwitter: https://twitter.com/JeffSnider_EDU#recession #money #recession2023 #money #inflation #deflation #interestrates #dollar #economy #credit #ratecuts #federalreserve #fomc #fedpivot #jobs #unemployment #employment

The podcast explores the recent surge in repo fails and the impact on swap spreads. It discusses the Treasury Department's cutback on collateral supply and its correlation with interest rates. Negative swap spreads signify deteriorating monetary conditions and increased demand for safety. The narrative of too many treasuries is debunked as the rising demand continues. The repo market failure is not just a bank arbitrage, but a broader issue affecting the monetary system.
