There is something particularly spineless about news outlets who watch their fellow journalists get targeted and killed by a known entity and then seek to muddy the cause of death by referring to "clashes" or failing to assign responsibility for the actor that did the killing.

Not being funny but Roman Abramovic has been funding Israeli settlement groups (illegal under int'l law) for years. And I'm a Chelsea fan so... 🤷🏽♂️
The invasion of Ukraine and the subsequent reaction to it is quite triggering for a lot of people. And the fact some people don't get it is exactly why it is so triggering.

While it is popular to critique colonialism and neo-colonialism, it is auto-colonialism that is often overlooked, this is when local elites who “displaced” the former colonial overlords end up running the same oppressive governing structures under the guise of nationalism. 1/3

Some points from my latest trip to Cairo last week: 1. no devaluation coming. CBE Governor has made his position clear: no dollars, no deval. 2. President refuses to make serious econ decisions before elections. Thus: #Egypt is heading to the polls early. Estimate end 2023.

Thrilled to moderate this panel on Egypt's State Ownership Policy & possible challenges with Egypt's new IMF program @SayighYezid led a group of excellent scholars to assemble a series of pieces on the subject & we'll discuss their findings Register here timep.org/2023/05/09/ass…
Agree with Ricardo’s analysis that headline wage growth is marginally benefitting from job adds in low paying sectors. BUT I think you are losing sight of the bigger picture by focusing on a tenth of a percent adjustment to wage growth. What really matters for inflation is…
This analysis from Ricardo Trezzi, who does careful work in the inflation front, is concerning. It suggests that wage inflation, which I regard as the best “super core” inflation measure, may have not been decelerating. This would make the @federalreserve's already difficult…
...is the Fed having caused a recession (60%) or engineered a soft landing (30%). Overheating (10%) is a possibility if the Fed wavers early and cuts too soon, but that seems less of a risk at the moment. And what's more compelling?
Ok risk-reward seems decent, but how could things go wrong? The most obvious miscalcualtion would be continued overheating and curve inversion. But it's difficlt to envisage that in 2.5 years time the Fed would still be grappling with a hot economy. The more likely outcome...
2) If we simply look at the average 3m vs 3y3m since 1989, it has traded at +140bps. So without any macro considerations, history is on the side of the trade. But it's even more compelling when you consider we are late cycle and curves are likely to steepen from here on...
1) If we are in a recession, it is reasonable to expect Fed near zero and 3y3m around terminal Fed Funds, say 3% if you believe the latest dot plot, or 3.5% if you believe current market pricing. Or if you want to be conservative, 2.5% to allow for terminal rate repricing lower
So the market is clearly already pricing a fair bit of steepening compared to the spot 3m vs 3y3m which currently stands at -183bps! Question is, does it still offer a good risk-reward? A few approaches here...
Now, I understand some will argue that a recession within 6m seems like a big assumption to make. I will discuss my reasoning in a follow up thread. For now, take it with a pinch of salt. Back to the trade, so where is the 3m Dec-25 vs Dec-28 curve trading? EDZ5-Z8 is at +20bps
The steepening move typically coincides with the recession (or a few months before) and takes around 1-3 years (2 on average). If we assume a recession is likely within the next 6 months as the impact of Fed hikes fitlers through, we would expect peak steepness around ~Dec-25
During three of the last four recessions, the gap between the 3months rate and 3y-forward-3months widened by ~500bps as the Fed cut rates and the curve steepened. In the 2020 covid induced recession the move was more modest at ~250bps as the terminal rate was priced lower (A🧵)

Today is my first day as Executive Director of @TimepDC! I'm lucky to be taking on this role alongside a brilliant team and to be building on the work of so many wonderful interns, fellows, and staff over the last decade. Don't stop bringing on the feedback, ideas, and collab!
