A 10yr bond walks into a bar…
from Curve Your Enthusiasm · host Ian Pollick, Royce Mendes
The recent increase in COVID-19 cases is showing up in the data in different ways, in different regions. Royce describes why inflation surprises shouldn’t be taken at face value, while growth surprises aren’t as concerning as the bond market is suggesting. Ian walks through his expectation for the FOMC meeting next week, and provides a framework for thinking about how the Fed’s taper will impact bond yields. Both Ian and Royce do a deeper dive on the recent communications from the Bank of Canada, and discuss why quantitative-tightening (QT) is an elegant solution for the BoC in the coming hiking cycle.
