It might be the right time to buy 10 year Treasuries
I see a big opportunity on treasuries with the rates that the treasauries are trading at. Why? Inflation has been going down consistently from 9.1% to 4% and the PPI (which is the Producer Price Index) from 11.1% to 1.1%. These indicators usually draw near the core CPI which has been sticky above 5% and has been the aim for the FED. Rents and some services have been raised this year and are not going down or stabilizing 12 year compared until next year. There is a lag effect in the economy regarding the rate hikes of about 12 to 18 months and we are still to see many of the effects noting that they have been restrictive for just 9 months.
Another nice data is the base, 12 month old prices. May and June are the top of the prices from last year due to the supply chain issues and the Russia Ucranie war. Oil went up to 130 dollar a barrel and most of commodities topped last year. So the CPI next week should be a 14 year high real yield high when a 3.2 to 3.5% print on the CPI should show more inflation loosening.
Economy is stil in a tight spot, with a strong labor market which made the last rate decisión of the FED a prediction of two more rate hikes this year. Eventhough since then 2 voting members have seen the posible mistake of keep hiking and have said that they should still see the effects of the 500 rate increase and not hike more for at least this year. This alone should drive a big buy througout the curve.
Economy is not that strong to see a 14 year high in real yield for a 10 year high with much analysts, including the FED are expecting at least a mild recesión. So rates are very high taking into account the análisis made. A 3.50% on the 10 year and a 4.30% on the 2 year are the aims. But the market has been frightened and selling due to the losses they took from anticipating this move too early. The recent debt limit helped a lot recently for those losses, but its an issue that has been dealt with. A frightened market ussually is an opportunity and I think this is one of them.
We still need to see the other 7 memebers of the FED agree, but in an educated guess the next week CPI data must do the job.
