We are currently short the Japanese Nikkei and German Bund. However, if the German Bund closes below 0.18%, we will buy back our short, prices moves in opposite direction to yield. We never got short US equities but continue to be bearish on global asset prices as central banks move off of 0%, both positively and negatively. The near infinite amount of capital created at 0% is evaporating as the central banks move off of 0%. Consequently, the global deleveraging off of 0% is deflating asset prices and driving long term interest rates lower.

We believe, not until the central banks recognize “the impact of monetary is nonlinear” and move back to 0% will the markets stop deflating. That being said, the equity market most at risk of deflation is the Japanese Nikkei as their 10yr note goes below 0% for the first time in history. Janet Yellen during her semiannual monetary policy report in front of Congress Wednesday - Thursday has the opportunity to lessen the expectation of Fed tightening. If the Fed comes out and suggests the 25bp tightening off of 0% was more impactful than they expected the markets will view this positively. So unless the Fed is trying to liquidate their balance sheet by deflating the markets, to drive long term interest to historic lows to enable the Fed to sell at historic highs, the Fed needs to stabilize the markets by suggesting smaller 5bp increments with a suggestion of moving Fed Funds to 20bp. Until that time we are negative on global asset prices and bullish on bonds.

As we mentioned in our last email, we would sell “German bund at just below 0.30% yield, yields move in opposite direction of price” which we did on February 3rd at 0.29%. Monday, February 8th on the close we sold our German Dax long at 8,975 for a loss. We are currently short the Japanese Nikkei and German Bund and 50% invested.
