Bear Steepening to Resume?
Right this moment’s Fed assembly will considerably have an effect on the place charges go and whether or not the yield curve steepens. If the alerts that it’s going to not be chopping rates of interest additional, at the very least over the close to time period, I’d assume that we’d possible see the yield curve steepen additional. It’s potential to say that the has fashioned a flag sample and that the subsequent massive transfer might be for it to rise additional within the type of a bear steepener.
In fact, a lot of what occurs following right this moment’s Fed assembly has way more to do with implied volatility ranges than that of the choice itself. The 1-Day trades round 13, a fairly low degree 1 day forward of the Fed. Except it rises sharply right this moment within the lead-up to that assembly, the S&P 500 will possible have a muted transfer post-FOMC and is susceptible to maneuver decrease ought to Powell come throughout as extra hawkish. Given IV is so low, ought to the Fed shock the market and are available throughout as extra hawkish, implied volatility may spike.
Moreover, we noticed the VIX additionally transfer decrease yesterday, permitting the implied correlation to drop. Once more, the 1-month implied correlation index is at a low worth of simply 8, and there’s the danger that when we get previous earnings later this week, this index may begin to rise as implied volatility resets. Traditionally, low studying within the implied correlation might be related to short-term market tops.
