The rally the global markets have enjoyed after Janet Yellen’s less deflationary tone with the Senate on Thursday is losing steam. To reiterate, any central bank movement either negatively or positively off of 0% interest rates is deflationary. So Janet Yellen’s dovish tone on Thursday masked the recent deflationary moves by the Bank of Japan and European Central Bank. After listening to Mario Draghi on Monday, it is clear the ECB will continue to remove the sovereign debt risk for Europe by using quantitative easing. What the BOJ and ECB are risking is the deflationary pressures created by interest rates below 0%. Consequently, not until the BOJ and ECB move back to 0%, or the Fed indicates their desire to move back to 0%, we will continue to be negative on global asset prices. In addition we continue to be bullish on bonds, as the global markets deal with deflation with sovereign credit risk removed by the central banks.

Tuesday, February 16th on the close we sold the S&P at an equivalent index price of 1895. The sale of the S&P, combined with our recent purchase at 1810, places us in a synthetic option bias to the short side. We are also in a synthetic option on the Japanese Nikkei bias to the short side, long $Yen to help hedge our Nikkei position and short US 10yr to help hedge our S&P position. We are currently 62% invested.
