The dot plot is doing the tightening for them

TLT
Delayed
DXY
Delayed

The thesis

Two cuts are priced by year-end and the data hasn't cooperated. Every easing of financial conditions since March has been met with firmer language, not softer.

What I'm watching

  • Real yields at the 10y point
  • Trade-weighted dollar, not just DXY
  • The 5y5y breakeven drifting above 2.4%

Positioning

Short, 4-8 weeks. Conviction: High. Rates move on positioning as much as data — size accordingly.

Opinion, not investment advice. The author may or may not hold positions discussed.
