We started the month by covering our shorts in the US 10yr note and German 10yr bund leaving us short the Japanese Nikkei. We believed a weak dollar was bad for global asset prices and until the dollar strengthened, we expected the global equity markets to be under pressure.

On May 10th we sold the S&P, even though the Bank of Japan had been successful in talking down the Yen which supported their equity market, the Fed was not embracing a stronger US dollar policy to become the economic engine for the global marketplace. At the time, our thesis was lack of demand - deflation - was driving asset prices and interest rates lower.

After the FOMC minutes, we bought the US 10yr note but failed to hedge up our S&P short, when it became evident the Fed would not tighten until inflation approached 2% and the economy reached full employment. The media and some at the Fed made it seem the Federal Reserve would tighten this summer giving the markets the confidence the US economy was strengthening.

We bought back our shorts in the S&P and Japanese Nikkei, after the International Monetary Fund announced their restructuring of Greek debt, essentially freeing up capital and making clear Europe would do whatever it takes not to disband the European Union.

We believe the Fed should tighten to normalize the money supply and strengthen the US dollar but in the form of quantitative tightening rather than raising short term interest rates. The Federal Reserve has the unique opportunity to sell its bond holdings at historic highs while reducing its balance sheet and keeping the yield curve steep to support the banking industry. If the Fed were to raise short term interest rates 25bp, when the US economy is not strong, the non-linear monetary impact at near-zero interest rates would cause the yield curve to flatten reflecting the increased deflation in the US economy. The only way for the Fed to tighten and keep a steep yield curve is for the Fed to unwind its $4 trillion balance sheet through quantitative tightening and combat deflation with low short term interest rates.

Moving into June, we expect the strength of the global equity markets to be tied to the strength of the US dollar. We continue to believe deflation, excess supply rather than excess demand is the challenge for the markets putting downward pressure on long term interest rates and global asset prices.
