Neoliberal globalization is over. Financiers know it, they documented with graphics


It's the start of January, which means it's time for Jeff Gundlach's "Just Markets" webcast, previewing what he and his DoubleLine fund expect from the capital markets.

Citi's economic data change index has hit troughs not seen in many years for most regions, and especially Europe.

Gundlach then calculates that $1 trillion in QE is roughly equivalent to 100 bps, a key topic for markets now especially when it remains unclear if the Fed is - or isn't - on autopilot when it comes to the Fed's balance sheet.

A better economic report card can be found in various measures of business and consumer sentiment, which are still relatively solid and a ways away from hinting at a recession, even if they are starting to "flash yellow" for recession.

Additionally, while recession concerns have been all the buzz on Wall Street in recent weeks, another chart showing that there is little imminent contraction on the horizon is the following chart showing how junk bond spreads have acted 6 months ahead of recessions (those in 2001 and 2007), although as Gundlach does note, the risk of a recession by the red line does suggest that the recession risk is rising, even if it is still relatively early.

Still, something to be concerned about is that US T-Bill yields have now surpassed bond market yields; and as the following BofA chart reference by Gundlach shows, every time this inversion has happened a period of market volatility has followed.

Next, Gundlach looks at the difference in rate hike expectations between the Fed via the "dots" and the market, and highlights the dramatic drop in market-implied rate hike odds following the Fed's recent dovish relents.

Meanwhile, a clear theme that has emerged is that for Gundlach the biggest variable in the market as we enter 2019 is THE (DECLINING) STRENGTH OF THE DOLLAR, and looking at the following Fib and relative strength index, Gundlach has spotted a peak and cautions that should the 38 Fib retracement be breached"I would not be surprised to see us moving quickly to 94 in the DXY" (he adds that for those who don't like to focus on technicals, you can "cover your ears and hum".)

The bond king then focuses on one of his favorite relationships - that of the 10Y TSY vs the Copper/Gold ratio, which to Gundlach suggests that the 10Y yield is going lower. Rhetorically, he asks "Why don’t we just follow this all the time?"

There can not be a Gundlach presentation with the requisite warning about the growing leverage in the system, and sure enough here it is, looking at the surge in the NATIONAL DEBT in the past decade. "If you tuned out, now tune back in,'' Gundlach prefaced the following chart, and reminds listeners that in fiscal 2018 total US debt by a whopping $1.4 trillion, far above the roughly $900 billion budget deficit. "This is a completely horrific situation" Gundlach exclaims...

See Chart:  Leverage Problems

... and asks "are we growing at all or is it just the increase in debt", then showing that the change in public debt debt is nearly 50% higher than the change in the official budget deficit.

See Chart:
Annual Change in total Public debt vs. Official Budget Deficit

Gundlach then referenced the book titled "Bankruptcy 1995: The Coming Collapse of America and How to Stop It'' by Harry E. Figgie, noting that while it was hyperbole at the time, "some of those tables kind of look like they'll happen in the next few years,'' and warning that "we could be on the tipping point of this debt compounding cycle." The chart below showing soaring interest expense projections, he notes "is from the CBO, not one of those doomers."

"2019 is looking like one of those either/or years, where growing financial instability leads to either a 2008-style financial crash or another round of asset inflation... both scenarios are good for gold."

Take a look at the exponential level of debt since the late 1970s until now and note how much faster debt is growing relative to GDP (yellow line). You don’t have to be a rocket scientist to realize at some point if debt is growing exponentially and income (GDP) on at some low level of linear growth, a day of bankruptcy lies ahead. Yet with each bubble, the U.S. continues to pile more debt upon debt, and the ratio of Debt to GDP continues to grow still further.

See Chart:  A Replay of the 1970’s ?

Given the timing of the current credit cycle, we are nearing a point in time when either the Fed is somehow able to hold the dollar system together for another cycle or the system itself blows up or implodes, leading to a new global monetary regime.

In the optimistic scenario gold is likely to behave as it did after 2008, when it rose for the next four years. If my more pessimistic (but very realistic) possible outcome takes place, the dollar will be replaced as the world’s reserve currency and gold will be the only safe haven, leaving it priced at levels in terms of dollars that may be beyond the imagination of even the craziest gold bugs. It’s simple math: if the dollar nears a state of worthlessness, gold rises to levels approaching infinity.

If only Bill Gross had known this ahead of time...
Alas, in late May 2018,: the opposite happened when a levered bet for Gross' Janus Unconstrained Fund imploded after the gap between US and German yields spiked further, resulting in massive losses for his investment vehicle.

To help the world's financial "professionals' with any comparative yield analysis we present the following BofA chart, which shows yields from around the world, in both public and corporate markets, when hedged for USD exposure. What it shows is something rather surprising: in a world in which there is still approximately $8 trillion in negative yielding debt, the debt instrument which has the lowest, FX-adjusted yields is... the 10Y US Treasury! Perhaps just as surprising, the 4th lowest yielding hedged instrument, after Canadian and Australian benchmark bonds, is the 30Y US Treasury.
