Long-end yields head higher still.
The Treasury's increase in bond buybacks from $2bn to $4bn is too small, is not Fed money printing, and is only a temporary respite without a change in fiscal fundamentals. Peter expects the long end to keep rising in the U.S. and globally, with 10- and 30-year yields moving higher after the brief buyback announcement reversal.
Dollar faces major structural challenges.
Peter is not bullish on the dollar and has not been; he sees a major diversification in trade and capital flows that over time will be dollar negative, and the Treasury's attempt to force long rates lower risks making the dollar collateral damage. DXY is already at a three-month low.
Bitcoin may become digital gold.
Bitcoin's sudden rally alongside gold may mark the beginning of Bitcoin trading like digital gold instead of the Nasdaq, which Peter says is what a Bitcoin holder should want. It still needs follow-through; otherwise the move may just reflect crypto legislation efforts from White House crypto people.
Rising long rates threaten equities.
After four years of a bond bear market, the rise in long rates has reached an inflection point where equity investors are beginning to care. Peter expects long rates to keep heading higher and says that will eventually be a problem for the equity market.
CCC and private credit refinancing risk.
CCC-rated high yield spreads have widened above their Liberation Day levels, a yellow flag that the lower tier of credit is getting worried. Private credit retail inflows have dried up, and loans made over the last 3-5 years are coming due over the next couple of years at potentially much higher rates.
Agriculture and fertilizer bull continues.
The Bloomberg agriculture index is at its highest since May 2024. Peter sees the energy bull market spreading to agriculture, with high fertilizer prices forcing farmers to use less fertilizer, reducing soil nutrients and yields, and ultimately pushing crop prices higher. He cites $7 wheat, $5 corn and near $13 soybeans as levels that matter if they hold, and expects the fertilizer bull market to continue into next year.
Commodities and commodity stocks bull run.
Peter runs about one third of his portfolio in commodities and commodity stocks because he believes this is a commodity bull run. He notes last year's precious and industrial metals rally, this year's energy bull market, and now an agricultural extension, and says he is already positioned for it.
Favor U.S. short duration over long.
On the fixed income side Peter is more in U.S. short duration because he expects long rates to rise and wants to avoid long-duration exposure; this is his portfolio implementation of the long-end bearish view.
Weaker dollar supports international, EM assets.
Because Peter believes the dollar will ultimately end up lower, he also owns international stocks and international bonds, particularly in emerging markets, which he expects to benefit from a weaker dollar.
