@Sherborne_Cap@DanielKral1 Yea I agree, if they hadn’t done it before and telegraphed it all, and asked themselves today: ‘should we start selling gilts’ the answer would unambiguously be no.
@Sherborne_Cap Been there for a while cos people keep having spectacular blow ups in the strip betting that growth will collapse and unwind any inflation spike…
@TraderBillyAU@Fullcarry More hawkish now more dovish later. Just need the front fixing to be soon enough that you still capture the hawkish bit, and don’t get killed in a massive bull steepening :)
@TraderBillyAU@Fullcarry Hadn’t seen that, also hadn’t seen u6h7 is at par. Quarterly spreads are pretty symmetric, i.e. after u6h7, u6u7 adds 9bp flattening, u6z7 another 9bp…
it still doesn’t seem like much
@Sherborne_Cap What’s the crack with this plumbing wise though - can they actually shrink the b/s much? Or you saying they’ll just switch it to bills and so even if size isn’t changed much, curve still steepens and risk craps it?
@macrogliblyglo1 What part of the labor market? U3/u6 trending higher? I’m not so sure given direction of claims and resilience of consumer + capital spending
