  • Russia’s Field Test of Chinese Treasury Liquidation

    (ie: imho it’s paper tiger) —“In other words, in just two months, Russia sold a whopping $81BN in treasurys, a liquidation flow that was likely responsible for much if not all the blow out in rates over the period. Because what else happened as Russia was liquidating 85% of its Treasury holdings in 2 months? 10Y yields soared from 2.7% at the start of April to the 7 year high of 3.11% in late May. … So … we can’t help but wonder – as the Yuan-denominated oil futures were launched, trade wars were threatened, and as more sanctions were unleashed on Russia – if this wasn’t a dress-rehearsal, carefully coordinated with Beijing to field test what would happen if/when China also starts to liquidate its own Treasury holdings.”—

    —“Curt purposely writes for (very) high-IQ people who have a lot of contextual understanding already in place. Some of his stuff is difficult for me and I’m 135-140 (some of it I have to make an effort to “get” which I’m not accustomed to). That being said Curt’s posts/writing have gotten a lot more accessible over time IMO. But some of it can’t be simplified all that much or too much important detail is lost. At the same time, many of the key insights and their ramifications I believe can be explained to avg IQ audiences (maybe even sub-100 if communicated well) in basic form. Some detail will be lost in that process, but it will be valuable for normal folks to understand the basic what & why, while all the detail will be available to the high IQ men who will be implementing it (ruling). Curt has said before that he is relying on people in the 130-140 range to carry his ideas down the IQ range.”—John Mark
