To find when
the next consumer credit crisis is hiding - and may erupt - ignore the big banks and focus only on the
smaller ones.
As TCW's Chet Melhotra notes, it is America's smaller banks
- those not in the Top 100 by asset
size - that have experienced in just the recent months a surge in charge
off deterioration, which at 7.9% is on par with the last financial
crisis! In other words, to find where the next consumer credit crisis hides - and will erupt next
- ignore the big banks and focus on the smaller ones.

The Treasury will sell 3-month
bills worth $51 billion and 6-month bills for $45 billion, both unprecedented
in their size, with a
historic total of $179 billion in TSYs for sale today, and $258 billion for the
week.
Today's selloff was driven by 2Y Treasuries which rose as
high as 2.2436%, the highest level since just before the Lehman bankruptcy,
while the eurodollar curve steepened too. Yields on 10Y
bond rose to 2.93% earlier before fading half of the move.

As explained
last night, the Treasury will sell 3-month bills worth $51 billion and
6-month bills for $45 billion, both unprecedented in their size, with a historic total of $179 billion in
bills and notes for sale today:
- 11:30am: U.S. to Sell $51BN 3-Month Bills
- 11:30am: U.S. to Sell $45BN 6-Month Bills
- 1pm: U.S. to Sell $55BN 4-Week Bills
- 1pm: U.S. to Sell $28BN 2-Year Notes
In sum, total issuance this week is expected to hit a record$258 billion.
See Chart:
As Bloomberg observes, the glut in
supply follows the passing of a two-year budget deal on Feb. 9 that raises
government spending by nearly $300 billion.
And, as Goldman and others have warned, investors will now brace themselves for
a deluge of issuance over the coming months and years as President Donald Trump’s fiscal stimulus seeks trillions in debt to boost
growth; if it fails US deficits are set to soar according to John
Davies, a U.S. interest-rate strategist at Standard Chartered Plc.
“The market is setting up for the
T-bill and two-year auctions due today, with two-year floating rate notes,
five-year and seven-year Treasuries still to come this week,” Davies
said.
"The
immediate question is what level of yields will be required for that additional
supply to be digested, and of course beyond that how the deficit will actually
develop."
We will have the first answer as soon as 11:30am ET when
$96BN in 3- and 6-Month bills are sold in what could be the start of biggest bond market test in
history

The biggest disappointment to
investors is that despite reporting stronger than expected US comp sales of
2.6%, beating expectations of 2.0%, Walmart guided full year 2019 EPS of $4.75-$5.00, well below the
consensus estimate of $5.13.

See Charts: 1- The
worst economies
Chart 2 : The least miserable :
Here are some other notable
factoids, courtesy of Bloomberg:
- Malaysia moves down the misery scale to No. 52 from No. 43 due to moderating inflation. The tepid price growth is allowing Bank Negara Malaysia to be patient with interest-rate hikes, even as they were first in the region this year to tighten this year
- Argentina, ranked at No. 3, belies a third year of improvement in its overall score, set to be the lowest since at least 2013, the year in which the IMF censured the country for covering up high inflation and when Bloomberg began calculating the data
- South Korea and Norway, which also happened to perform well in the Bloomberg 2018 Innovation Index at Nos. 1 and 15, broke into the top-10 least miserable
- Saudi Arabia, projected to make the biggest plunge from 2017 in its misery index number, climbs into the top 10 most-miserable economies
- The U.S. will see its misery score improve to 6.2 this year from 6.5 in 2017 even as inflation rises following years of persistently low price gains, and as the labor market continues to tighten
- China, the world’s second-largest economy, saw its misery score rise to 6.3 this year from 5.5 in 2017. Consumer prices are estimated to rise 2.3 percent this year, compared with 1.6 percent in 2017
- Asian economies are fortunate to escape the top 10 most miserable this year, which are otherwise geographically diverse with Europe, Latin America, and Africa almost equally represented.
