Charges On The Rise
Yesterday’s preliminary jobless claims information launch got here in under expectations, signaling a stronger labor market which is one other “excellent news is dangerous information” signpost.
We are able to see a few of these developments play out by way of the Eurodollar Futures curve the place the market’s anticipated federal funds fee is steepening (extra fee hikes), now anticipated to be over 4% within the second half of 2023. That’s in keeping with the Federal Reserve’s personal projections that they’ve instructed the market:

A lot of the legacy monetary and portfolio allocation is constructed upon the idea that bonds and shares will not carry a optimistic correlation to the draw back, and portfolio managers “diversify” accordingly.
Equities and bonds have been positively correlated over the past 12 months throughout a interval the place equities went down. This can be a first for the put up quantitative easing fiat forex period.
