Fed's Stein: Central bank shouldn't worry about market reaction to communication
WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) -- Federal Reserve Gov. Jeremy Stein on Tuesday night said the central bank needs to worry less about market volatility in its communications as he noted the feedback loop current policy encourages. "There is always a temptation for the central bank to speak in a whisper, because anything that gets said reverberates so loudly in markets," Stein told an audience at New York University. "But the softer it talks, the more the market leans in to hear better and, thus, the more the whisper gets amplified. So efforts to overly manage the market volatility associated with our communications may ultimately be self-defeating," he said. Stein cited as an example the jump in long-term yields last summer in reaction to comments from then Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke on the asset-purchase program, even though the New York Fed's survey of primary dealers indicated little change in expectations of the size of the program.

Scheherazade: "Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves"
As The Guardian reports, working away in warehouses, beyond the pages of Amazon's website, the seasonal workers and the effects that temporary contracts have on their lives are kept out of public's eye and often avoid scrutiny.
Andrew Cummins, 43, was one of these elves last year, working north of Chattanooga at an Amazon warehouse in Jeffersonville, Indiana. For three months, he stowed away clothes, working 40 hours a week at $10 an hour. He enjoyed the job and saw it as his ticket out of the Haven House, a shelter where he lives with his wife, Kristen, and stepson.
"They had this big hype that they were going to hire on and stuff and that didn't happen. They just worked you until the time was up and then they let everyone go,"

Kiwi Tumbles as RBNZ Refers to Possible Intervention -
Reply
The New Zealand dollar slips as RBNZ Governor Graeme Wheeler attempts to jawbone the currency lower in a speech to dairy farmers. Wheeler says the Kiwi is overvalued and if the "currency remains high in the face of worsening fundamentals, such as a continued weakening in export prices, it would become more opportune for the Reserve Bank to intervene in the currency market to sell NZ dollars." He also underscored that the high dollar--along with new economic data--will be a factor in the central bank's assessment of the extent and speed with which the official cash rate needs to be raised.

RBNZ Wheeler: Exchange Rate Is Overvalued, Not Sustainable
Reply
WELLINGTON,New Zealand--The New Zealand dollar is overvalued and if it remains high the central bank could opt to intervene in the currency market, Reserve Bank of New Zealand Governor Graeme Wheeler said Wednesday.
In a speech to the DairyNZ Farmers' Forum in Hamilton, Mr. Wheeler said if the "currency remains high in the face of worsening fundamentals, such as a continued weakening in export prices, it would become more opportune for the Reserve Bank to intervene in the currency market to sell NZ dollars."
In late 2012 and early 2013 the central bank sold local currency holdings to help rein in the soaring New Zealand dollar for the first time in nearly four years.
Known as the Kiwi, the New Zealand dollar has gained nearly 4% against a basket of currencies so far this year. The New Zealand dollar has pushed higher partly due to record high terms of trade as the agriculture-rich economy has been aided by a surge in demand from Asia's growing middle classes for dairy products.
Mr. Wheeler also said the high dollar--along with new economic data--will be a factor in the central bank's assessment of the extent and speed with which the official cash rate needs to be raised.
The New Zealand central bank raised rates in March and again in April bringing them to 3.0% as the nation's economic expansion gains momentum and inflationary pressures increase.
The move to increase rates comes in contrast to other developed economies around the world, with the Federal Reserve and European Central Bank both holding rates well below 1%.

nh - beg to differ. When you rely on foreign investors and most of the debt in public hands is in the hands of foreigners you have a big problem and a very real roll over risk.
I know that that isn't the official narrative but unless you want the USD falling through the floor the reality is the FED can't keep printing and - in fact - is tapering. That taper will go all the way to zero because the FED can't risk free fall in the USD because they need foreign investor capital - at the very least - to STAY in the U.S. and that is not a given.

US borrows in the short end because it believes a recovery will reduce the deficit - the Fed has shown a willingness to buy l/t treasury debt - it used to buy only short term -- no reason it can't sell l/t paper holdings to buy s/t again -- the short term roll is the least of the worries
The Federal is Not a corporation, a state or an individual --- gov't debt is money and it can print money -- it can't default and it can't worry about the price of debt

Seriously, there is $4 trillion to be auctioned this year in the United States. Where they choose to place it makes a huge difference to the cost of funding. Right now a lot of roll overs are going in the very short end, but that just means they have to be rolled again very quickly. Personally I think the U.S. economic recovery is mostly not happening and that is likely to become apparent in coming months. I'm not a bear on the U.S. Treasury market - especially the long end. Still rolling into 7 year area would mean paying in excess of 2%. Further out, more expensive. But the U.S. urgently needs to extend its average maturity. Otherwise playing geopolitical chicken could be a very deadly game.

I'm not really interested in debt to GDP to be honest. I am interested in U.S. rollover risk. The United States can't roll over its debt in the overnight market. That really would be insane. So what the FED does with interest rates is irrelevant in my opinion. That's just a joke. What matters is if foreign investors continue to rollover or not. The 3 year auction today - highest yield since 2011 - was NOT a success in my opinion. And what happens in the short end is relevant. There might be a choice to roll over in the longer dated area. Then you would see the cost of borrowing rise from under half a percent to well in excess of 1%. And given the debt burden that would be nasty. Where are they rolling over currently? In the 3 to 6 months area mostly?

What I'd like to know nh is where does the U.S. Government roll over most of its debt. I get the impression that a great deal of the debt being rolled is being financed in the less than 2 years area of Treasury bills. There is a huge amount expiring this year... where do they roll it? Still at the very short end? That's taking a huge risk in the medium term. At this point they surely must consider rolling into longer dated maturities even if the interest costs will be MUCH higher.

You can see from this chart how 10-yr note shorts were taken out over the last four weeks. This is not a pretty chart for many in the markets trading bonds. If traders were catching the moves, the positions would be a lot more stable. This opinion has been borne out by lousy earnings by major bank bond trading.

10-yr bond yields peaked early in the European session at around 2.62%. I heard they have fallen to 2.59%, but I never saw that. Last 2.599%. It looks like yields have been led lower by falling stocks (risk-off). They do not appear to be in the lead.
Of course this begs the question of why bond yields are down here when the Fed is about half-way through its tapering process. When the taper started, yields were around 3.00%. I haven't got a good answer to that question, especially as the U.S. economy seemingly has been improving. This looks to me like a market where traders keep selling every rally in the 10-yr note and keep getting blown out?

European equities are ending lower (risk-off?) while U,S. shares ease. Most major equity markets in the Far East were closed for seasonal holidays today. Yields in the prime fixed income markets are about evenly mixed between higher and lower. The yields for peripheral bond markets are lower. The U.S. 10-yr was last 2.60%, -1bp. A U.S. 3-yr auction is due shortly.

Atlanta, as I wrote the other day the GBP may be a currency that likes false breaks, but nobody can say beforehand when a break is false and when true. I agree with you that sterling has no good reason to go to 1.76 (I have already called 1.7035-85 very tough). However, I have no doubt that if it tackles the old top some people will pay their stops and go pushing is a bit higher (and I won't blame them with this currency)."

Beautiful S&P vs. USDJPY correlation over the last several hours. So if S&P continues soft USDJPY could continue south.
Trade figures today are unlikely to be a major influence. One thing you might look for is the likely impact of this March data on the next revision to 1Q14 GDP. The trade balance is an ADDITION to GDP, so a deficit is a SUBTRACTION. A larger than predicted deficit would reduce GDP, while a smaller than forecasted shortfall would be a net ADDITION.

Risk On/Off Heat Map
Reply
Japanese and Chinese markets were closed for holidays today. Otherwise, the markets generally are in a mixed risk posture at
this hour. Ukraine tensions have slipped into the background as a market factor at the moment. Early in Europe, yields in prime fixed income markets are mostly higher. Equities are higher. Far East markets ended mixed. U.S. S&P futures are up. The peripheral European bond yields are lower. The U.S. 10-yr is 2.62% +1bp.
The heat map color scheme of interest rates reflect yields. This aligns all the colors in the chart to reflect risk-on (green) and risk-off (red).

UK market participants return from the Bank holiday weekend to the services PMI this morning. The services PMI dropped for a fifth consecutive month in March to its lowest since last June. The risks to the April outturn, however, are biased to the upside. Domestic measures of business confidence/activity, including our own Lloyds Bank Business Confidence Barometer and the manufacturing PMI, posted solid improvements in April. Moreover, the �flash� estimate of the euro area services PMI picked up last month. The final reading of this euro area survey, due this morning, should confirm this improvement. Overall, we look for the UK services PMI to rise to 58.1 from 57.2 (consensus 57.8).

He added "When we consider what are the main risks for the European economy at this stage, the one main risk is clearly the external tensions n uncertainty which surrounds us, especially related to the crisis in Ukraine.
