A tricky time for US government bonds...
US Treasuries are facing multiple headwinds - economic strength (Atlanta Fed's real-time GDP growth forecast is tracking close to 4% for the third quarter), an uptick in energy prices and FED QT. But another headwind is fading demand stemming from historical buyers of US Treasuries: 1- China US Treasury holdings just hit a 14-year low at less than $850bn 2- Saudi Arabia’s stockpile of US Treasuries fell to the lowest level in more than six year (less than $100B) 3 - As Japanese long-term yields rose (due to a tweak in their #monetarypolicy), the largest foreign holders of US Treasuries, Japanese investors, became less interested in US bonds and asked for a premium.

As highlighted by Caleb Franzen, the relative chart of SP500 / M2 money supply is trading at the exact same level as July 2007
This range also coincided with market peaks in: • Feb.'20 • Q4'21 While the S&P 500 itself has gained +181% in the past 16 years, $SPX/M2 has made no progress. Should this be seen as a logical resistance zone?
