On June 3rd, the United States Congress raised the debt ceiling by $1.2 trillion, sidestepping the looming spectre of government default and shutdown. This move grants the government borrowing latitude until December 16, 2025, successfully mollifying market anxiety. While equity markets have maintained an aura of calm in recent days, a storm has engulfed the cryptocurrency realm. The SEC, with a predator’s intensity, has launched a sweeping regulatory offensive that precipitated a short-term plunge in…

By Brodie Duff | May 26, 2023May 26, 2023 by Brodie Duff

On Wednesday, the curtain lifted on the latest FOMC Meeting Minutes, revealing a surprising level of division among Fed members concerning potential interest rate hikes for the forthcoming meeting scheduled for June 14. While unity and consensus often paint the picture within these meetings, this particular gathering has been marked by conflicting perspectives and a degree of uncertainty. A subset of members is now expressing increasing concerns about the risk of overtightening. These worries stem…

Frothy Times

By Brodie Duff | May 12, 2023May 12, 2023 by Brodie Duff

On Wednesday, inflation prints (CPI) came in below expectations of a ‘hot’ print which would have likely indicated that the Federal Reserve will continue tightening rates. Cryptocurrency and equities markets reacted positively while bond yields dropped. These numbers are expected to persuade the Fed to lean more towards a “pause” stance for its next FOMC meeting in June. Meanwhile, markets are still concerned about the debt ceiling crisis as negotiations have not shown much progress…

Dancing on the Ceiling

By Brodie Duff | April 27, 2023April 27, 2023 by Brodie Duff

In recent days, a variety of technology stocks have surged as a result of robust earnings reports. Microsoft’s impressive cloud and AI performance have been particularly noteworthy, leading to a ~8% increase in its stock value. The company was on the verge of breaking its single-day record for market capitalization growth. In contrast, cryptocurrency markets have experienced a far more substantial upswing than equities over the past few days. Bitcoin has once again spearheaded the…

One and Done?

By Brodie Duff | April 16, 2023April 17, 2023 by Brodie Duff

Last week the market received the news that inflation figures came in cooler than expected. Core CPI data was in line with predictions at 5.6%, higher than the previous reading of 5.5%. However, headline CPI came in at 5%, lower than the expected 5.1%. As such, risk assets began to rally. Due to the Fed’s data dependency, one would expect that these figures would significantly increase the likelihood of the Fed pausing rate hikes in…

QE or QT?

By Brodie Duff | March 31, 2023March 31, 2023 by Brodie Duff

Last week, the Federal Reserve (Fed) went ahead with the 25bps hike that many expected, causing a spike in the U.S. dollar and a temporary halt to the rally that equities and risk-on assets were experiencing. This rate hike has come under scrutiny from market analysts. In the past two weeks since Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) and Silvergate Capital collapsed, there has been a multi-billion dollar capital outflow from financial institutions. The primary driver of…

Bonds Backfiring

By Brodie Duff | March 16, 2023March 28, 2023 by Brodie Duff

Two financial institutions, Silvergate Capital and Silicon Valley Bank (SVB), collapsed early last week due to a series of ill-fated investment decisions which were exposed by global interest rate tightening. The collapses came after the institutions invested large amounts of capital in long-dated US government bonds, which were considered relatively low risk. However, as interest rates rose rapidly to combat spiralling inflation, bond portfolios started to lose significant value. As a result, when cash demands…

Sweet Divergence

By Brodie Duff | March 2, 2023March 28, 2023 by Brodie Duff

Since the start of January, most leading macro markets have experienced a reversal around their 38.2% Fibonacci retracement levels. However, BTC has shown resilience and fought the cross-asset sell-off. This divergence is likely driven by the fact that there has been over $1 trillion in net liquidity added to the market since the bottom in October, primarily driven by the People’s Bank of China and the Bank of Japan, helping to off-set the damage the…
