Summary

Dr. Kim Hyojin of Shinyoung Securities explains the recent rise in US Treasury yields and oil prices, attributing the yield spike to bond vigilante conditions and supply disruptions. He advises monitoring crude oil around the $95 yearly average threshold and warns of bond market volatility, but reassures that a full equity exit is not yet warranted given the lack of safe alternatives to US Treasuries.

  • US 30-year Treasury yield hit 20-year highs; UK 30-year yield hit 1998 highs.
  • Bond vigilante conditions are present: high debt, inflation control weakness, Fed independence concerns.
  • Despite risks, US Treasuries remain the default safe asset due to lack of alternatives.
  • Oil (WTI) rose to $107, driven by Hormuz blockade and low US strategic reserves.
  • US shale exports and weak Chinese demand cap oil upside.
  • Annual average WTI price of $95 is a key monitoring level.
  • Equities are not yet at a sell-off point, but bond market volatility requires attention.
  • Central banks have increased gold purchases but cannot fully replace Treasuries.

Monitor WTI around $95 yearly average.
Oil price (WTI) has risen to $107 per barrel, but the key yearly average threshold is $95. Supply risks persist due to Hormuz blockade and low US strategic reserves, but US shale exports and weak Chinese demand cap the upside. Investors should monitor the $95 level as a decision point; if breached, oil may spike further, but current levels are not yet catastrophic.

Bond vigilantes threaten Treasuries but no alternative.
Conditions for bond vigilantes are met: high fiscal debt, weakening inflation control, and Fed independence erosion. Long-term US Treasury yields are at multi-decade highs and are volatile. However, no safe alternative asset can replace US Treasuries in scale and liquidity, so a full rout is unlikely. Investors should watch for a potential bond vigilante selloff but not panic yet.
