The steepener has more room than consensus thinks

TLT
Delayed

The thesis

Supply is heavy, the buyer base is less price-insensitive than it was, and a term premium near zero was never the steady state.

What I'm watching

  • Auction tails at the long end
  • Foreign official holdings
  • Whether the front end stays pinned through the next two prints

Positioning

Long, 1-2 quarters. Conviction: Medium. Carry is against you in a steepener. Patience costs money here.

The second point is the one most people are going to skip over.

Good timing — was just reworking my TLT sizing this morning.
