High rates, fiscal and strong dollar all together create this virtuous circle...USD feedback loop: a strong USD, lower global growth and the global savings glut feed off each other in way that suppress real interest rates and elevates asset prices.
Then we combine the current dynamic of these two forces: the US sucking in global savings and the dollar reflecting/contributing to lower outcomes in terms of global output. It seems like the one of the biggest macro dualities effecting global markets and is it very durable as the feedback loop is very well reinforced. Savings come to the US, the side effect of that is USD constrains global growth and that reinforces the short GDP trade which is long duration and USD....while the FookinBondKings scream at the Fed thru the 10YR Yields for more rate cuts...Let's watch the ShitShow!
HEAD SHOTs ONLY!!!
