#30DayChartChallenge Día 12: Gov Data Day! 🏛️ Explorando la distribución del spread 10Y-2Y del Tesoro USA (datos de FRED desde 1976).

Este histograma/densidad va más allá del valor diario: muestra la *probabilidad* histórica de cada nivel del spread. ¡Clave para entender expectativas económicas!

Puntos clave:
* Modo principal > 0 (curva normal es lo más común).
* ¡La inversión (<0, línea discontinua) tiene una probabilidad no trivial! ⚠️ Es la famosa señal pre-recesión. La distribución nos dice cuán "normal" es esa señal en perspectiva histórica.
* La forma general revela info sobre la dinámica de tipos.

Una visualización sobre la estructura probabilística de un indicador líder fundamental.

The best time to cut rates was last week. The second best time is 𝘳𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵 𝘯𝘰𝘸.

“Waiting until nearly the end of May is far too long. The RBA should be nimble enough to realise that the tariffs levied by the USA are an unprecedented move that is already sending shockwaves through the world’s economy.

“It should get out in front and cut rates now rather than wait for Australia’s economy to be damaged further.”

Trump’s Egg Price Solutions: What You Need to Know

Alright, let’s dive into this like we’re grabbing coffee and unpacking the wild world of egg prices in the US. You’ve probably noticed your grocery bill looking a little uglier lately—especially if you’re an omelet fan. So, what’s the deal? Why are eggs suddenly costing an arm and a leg, and can Trump—or anyone—fix it? Spoiler: it’s a messy mix of bird flu, corporate consolidation, and some economic realities that don’t bend to political promises. Grab a seat; this […]

US #CentralBank holds #InterestRates steady

#TheFed said it will slow the pace of the drawdown of its balance sheet, as it faces challenges in assessing #market liquidity….

Stmnt: "The Cmte will continue reducing its holdings of #Treasury #securities & agency #debt & #mortgage‑backed securities. Beginning in April, the Cmte will slow the pace of decline of its securities holdings by reducing the monthly redemption cap on Treasury securities from $25B to $5B."

"Costco CFO sounds alarm on consumer trend
Retailers could be in for a rough 2025.
70% of consumers say inflation has hurt their household finances.

And compounding matters is that #interestrates remain stubbornly high due to sticky #inflation. In January the Federal Reserve hit pause on interest rate cuts. And it’s likely to hold rates steady when it meets in mid-March"

Trump performing as well as Liz Truss in his first few days

- Tariffs which caused a stock market slump, hitting pension funds
- which will also lead to inflation
- meaning the Fed will have to raise interest rates
- leading to increases In mortgage payments
- and an economic slow down

SO MUCH WINNING !!

Hmmm.... annual inflation in January rose from 2.5% in December to 3% in January.... pushing it well above the BoE's target.

Andrew Bailey will emphasise the persistence of 'inflationary pressures', but this also suggests even on its own terms the sado-monetarists policy of high interest rates is not really working.

This might tell us inflation is being (partly) imported, but also that interest rate policy is not (actually) about inflation but about 'disciplining' workers!

Today's headlines will say wage growth (year on year) has risen to 6% (although once we allow for inflation, growth in real wages is nothing like that).

But the real issue is are real wages back to what they were before 2008, allowing workers to make up for a lost 15 years of falling living standards?
The answer is, for many, no!

So when Andrew Bailey & Rachel Reeves warn us that this stokes 'inflationary pressures' recall whose ever increasing wealth is ignored!
