#us #equities #sector #performance
Energy stocks continue to significantly disconnect from the rest of the market. Let’s not forget: - At 11% FCF yield, the overall sector remains cheap; - It remains a low weight in main benchmarks and is underinvested by most fund managers; - While the sector is not ESG friendly, many Oil majors are now becoming more responsible and are investing into Renewables.

#german #mortgages
It‘s a huge difference if someone buys property with 0,8% or 4% mortgage just one year later.. Yields of German mortgage-backed securities (so-called Pfandbrief) have risen to highest level since 2011. Consumers have to pay almost 4% for 10y mortgage loans, 4 times as much as at the start of the year. Volume of mortgage loans has slumped 16% YoY. Source: HolgerZ, Bloomberg
#uk #gilts
UK market borrowing costs coming back up. 30 year Gilt yields now only 52 basis points off post Mini Budget panic peak. 10 year Gilt yields only 19 basis points off... Issues remain 1) Treasury has huge borrowing needs next few years 2) BOE about to start QT (selling gilts on Oct 31st) 3) LDI (Liability driven investments) funds are underwater on highly volatile assets. Quite a few "too big to fail" institutions are heavily exposed to UK Bonds and Gilts Source: Ben Chu
