Soros Hires Ex-CPPIB’s Flikerski to Lead Bet on Outside Managers

After this week's bond market drama, we at @SchwabResearch, @CharlesSchwab thought it was a good time to explain what Treasury buybacks are and why they matter now.

[The Kobeissi Letter @KobeissiLetter]

You can't make this up:

At 8:15 AM ET yesterday, the 10Y Note Yield was trading at 4.68% when the US Treasury announced it would be increasing bond buybacks to $4 billion.

The yield fell to a low of 4.63% as the US Treasury pledged to provide "liquidity support."

Exactly 24 hours later, the 10Y Note Yield is ABOVE levels seen prior to the announcement, at 4.71%.

It's going to take a lot more intervention to tame this beast.

Situational Awareness "purchased 'flex options,' a customized derivative, to amplify its AI trade."

Flex options aren't what you might use as a pickup move at Surf Club Montauk.

FLEX option terms are tailored to a specific buyer and seller. There's virtually no secondary market. Ooops

A sharp rise in long-term bond yields across major economies is bringing renewed attention to fiscal and inflationary pressures, as well as America's growing debt burden.

This excellent piece from our economists at SCFR offers a timely look at the changing fiscal picture in the US.

I think a lot of people still don't understand the scale of debt issuance by the hyperscalers. They're on pace to be as sizeable in the IG bond market as the big banks within a few years
