Repo — American Hegemony
If dollar funding (dollar demand) is America's claim to hegemony and infinite fiscal space (the Treasury's monopoly on unlimited debt issuance), then the repo market is perhaps the most essential piece to the hegemonic puzzle.
Lack of demand for Treasuries implies a lack of demand for dollar funding, and is often cited as the catalyst for America's "eventual" collapse. After all, who is going to buy billions in debt maturing in 2034 or later, issued by a nation on a clearly unsustainable fiscal path, right? It makes little to no practical sense… that is, until you understand how the dollar system works.
In the modern financial system, a Treasury is money. Treasuries = dollars.
Repo markets in general serve as a nexus between financial actors with different funding needs and objectives, such as money market funds or shadow banks with cash to lend and hedge funds with borrowing needs to meet, intermediated by banks (broker-dealers). These interactions take place in particular venues of the repo market, and each venue has a distinct interest rate ("repo rate").
A risky, dubious, yet elaborate arbitrage trade known for blowing up during turmoil provides a vital mechanism for engineering dollar demand, and creates a bulwark for American hegemony that not even de-deollarization of global trade can detach from.
The reality is that — as I warned months ago — dollar hegemony is largely out of the hands of governments and politics, but within the short term motives of what I called "agnostic" (politically and culturally indifferent with a profit-focused priority) financial actors, such as repo dealers, megabanks, and hedge funds.
Other countries will repo their sovereign bonds. In Japan, for example, a small market for "gensaki transactions" (Japanese Government Bond JGB repo) exists. However, none are nearly as liquid as UST repo, as both domestic and foreign holdings of USTs vastly outnumber those of other sovereign bonds.
JGB (or other sovereign bond) futures are generally less liquid or don't exist, eliminating the potential for liquidity to come from basis trades (which we will look at in depth). As you'll see, liquidity matters.
The reality may bite, but if you're going to argue in good faith about the future of the dollar, you must first understand how embedded it is within the global financial system and — importantly — why it continues to be.
This post will review Treasury repo and its various venues, note how repo market leverage creates more Treasury demand via cash-futures basis trades, and suggest how the basis trade could unravel.

>>1641034Treasury Repo
We've covered what Treasury repo is and how it works, both in text and in a video series (
https://t.me/DissidentThoughts/3456?single and
https://t.me/DTPrimers/110?single ), but it's such a crucial piece to the modern financial system that it can't be reiterated enough. Fortunately, it's rather simple.
A repo (short for repurchase) transaction involves the sale of assets (collateral) with an agreement to buy them back (repurchase) on a specified future date (usually the next day) and at a prearranged price. By selling your collateral and agreeing to repurchase it, you are just borrowing cash. There's no need to make it any more confusing than that. The pawn shop analogy is accurate:
For example, at a pawn shop you may "sell" $1000 worth of gold (ex: a gold ring), and accept $950. The reason the pawn shop "dealer" would be willing to lend only $950 for $1000 in collateral is because he knows that gold has been quite volatile lately, and if gold's price were to fall 5% (the collateral value falls to $950) or more, he may lose money on the transaction. The 5% "premium" is called a haircut, and is a layer of insurance.
At the end of the transaction, which in repo is usually the next day, you would purchase the gold back from the dealer for $950 (plus any interest). You could also choose to extend the loan ("roll over the repo").
But in reality, you're not selling the gold item per se, because you're agreeing to repurchase the item back from the dealer at the pawn shop. If you fail to do so, the dealer keeps the collateral — hence it is "secured lending."
While "gold repo" is in theory totally possible, it serves better only as an example. Treasury repo, where Treasury bills/notes/bonds are the collateral, is a daily operation of several trillion dollars, with unreported venues comprising another estimated ~$2 trillion in daily volumes.
The exhibit above is a very basic model of the dollar flows in repo. The collateral (Treasury securities) flow in the opposite direction of cash, obviously. And while there are four major repo venues (Tri-Party repo, GCF & DVP interdealer repo, and uncleared bilateral repo), the only differences are a third-party custodian holding the collateral (in tri-party repo) and whether the transaction is cleared by the FICC (in interdealer repo).
But at the end of the day, a repo is mechanically identical across all venues.
No.1641036
>>1641035Repo Financing
The repo market allows for relative value (RV) hedge funds engaged in the cash-futures basis trade to acquire significant leverage, thus generating correspondingly significant demand for cash Treasuries. This is called repo financing, or repo leverage.
For example, a hedge fund who wants to buy $100 in Treasuries can put down $1 of its own money and end up borrowing the remaining $99 in a repo transaction. Here is how that would work:
Step 1: A hedge fund agrees to buy $100 in Treasuries from a bank as part of a basis trade.
Step 2: At the same time, the hedge fund agrees to repo that $100 in Treasuries at a 1% haircut. This means the hedge fund will receive $99 in cash and agree to repurchase the Treasuries for $99.03 tomorrow (the $0.03 is the interest for the overnight loan, the repo rate). Note that the repo trade is a different counterparty than the original seller of the Treasury.
Normally, the hedge fund cannot sell the Treasuries for the full $100 because the dealer will ask for a small haircut to protect itself from any changes in the collateral value.
In the example we're using, the dealer sees Treasury collateral as very stable and is only looking for a 1% haircut (1% of $100, or $1). Note that in some bilateral repo markets, haircuts on Treasuries are nearly 0%, allowing for significant leverage (and risks).
The SEC’s proposal for mandatory repo clearing may reduce Treasury market liquidity by raising the cost of repo financing (haircuts in cleared repo are 2%), making the basis trade increasingly unprofitable.
Step 3: The hedge fund takes the $99 it received in the repo transaction, plus only $1 of its own money, and pays the bank $100 for the cash Treasury. The hedge fund is thus able to buy $100 of Treasuries with just $1 of its own money.
Note that up to this point, these steps should be thought of as occurring simultaneously.
Step 4: The next day the hedge fund is obligated to repurchase the $100 in Treasuries for $99.03, where $0.03 is the interest charged on the overnight loan. The hedge fund can either renew the repo loan or get out of the trade by selling the Treasury to the market for $100 and paying the dealer $99.03 with the proceeds.
With repo leverage, nominal demand for cash Treasuries is magnified.

>>1641036The Cash-Futures Basis Trade
In early 2018, a string of events formed an exploit in America’s sovereign debt market. Following a surge in Treasury issuance and regulatory reforms, asset managers (pension funds, mutual funds, and insurance companies) began to shift out of cash bonds and into long positions of their associated Treasury futures contracts.
A Treasury futures contract is a standardized agreement to buy Treasury securities at a predetermined price on a specified future date. Unlike option derivatives, which provide a right but do not obligate, futures contracts involve a binding obligation to transact on or before the contract matures.
The reason the basis (the difference between the cash Treasury price and the Treasury futures price) exists is because said asset managers began piling into Treasury futures, thus raising the futures' price relative to cash Treasuries. They prefer the futures over cash Treasuries because futures are operationally simpler and have less impact on their expense ratios. Most asset managers are not set up for repo, for example.
The cash-futures basis trade, or simply "the basis trade", is a three-legged arbitrage trade that seeks to exploit the basis, spanning three crucial financial markets: the cash Treasury market, where investors purchase Treasuries today; the Treasury futures market, where investors agree on a fixed price to pay for Treasuries they will receive in the future; and the Treasury repo market, where investors leverage their cash Treasury purchases.
Basis trades buy cash Treasuries and short Treasury futures to construct a payoff that depends on the two prices converging as the delivery date approaches (see Figure 2 in the third image).
This is similar to a long/short equity strategy, and convergence is virtually guaranteed: at the delivery date, cash and futures prices must be equal because otherwise on that date a trader could just buy a Treasury in the cash market and immediately deliver it into the futures market for an instant profit.
Shorting a Treasury futures contract means entering into an agreement to sell the underlying Treasury at a future date and at a predetermined price. It is an obligation.
To "deliver on a futures contract" means to fulfill that obligation by transferring the underlying Treasury to the buyer on the expiration date.
The key is that, so long as futures prices keep rising markedly above the price of their underlying Treasury securities, traders would buy bonds at a discount to what they’d receive when delivering these securities into futures contracts. If the basis were to narrow (or, potentially, invert), the trade would no longer be profitable, and this marginal buyer for Treasuries would vanish.
Only certain futures contracts and Treasury securities are used in basis trading. On any given date, there is just one Treasury security that basis traders want to own for each contract to make a particular deal as profitable as possible, called the “cheapest-to-deliver” Treasury.
The CTD ("cheapest-to-deliver") is simply the Treasury security with the cheapest value that is eligible to be delivered onto a futures contract.
Otherwise-similar Treasuries will differ in whether they are deliverable into a futures contract. A conversion factor attached to the futures price is meant to account for the desirability of individual Treasuries (the CME provides updates on conversion factors).
Due to these conversion factors, only one Treasury will be cheapest-to-deliver into each futures contract. But which that is can change over the life of a contract.

>>1641037Implementing Basis Trades
Understanding sources of risk for basis trades and where stress can manifest requires understanding the technical details of how these trades are implemented.
The basis — or the profitability of a cash-futures basis trade — is characterized by the implied repo rate (IRR), which reflects the cost of carrying the security (including financing costs) until the futures contract's expiration.
When the implied repo rate is greater than the actual repo rate, basis traders borrowing in the repo market can profit by buying the cash Treasury and shorting the corresponding futures. At delivery, the trader will earn the spread between the IRR and the repo rate. When the actual repo rate is greater than the implied rate, a "long basis" trade is not profitable.
The IRR is closely related to the yield on a Treasury bill because the cash flows from the basis trade replicate those from a Treasury bill maturing on the futures delivery date.
In particular, in times of relative illiquidity and high balance sheet costs, the implied repo rate has deviated significantly from the rate of return on bills.
One example of these deviations occurred following the collapse of Lehman Brothers in 2008 (see Figure 4 above). Immediately after that collapse, as liquidity dried up in financial markets, implied repo rates collapsed deeply negative across contracts. The IRR decline reflected a flight to safety in Treasury markets.
Because the futures price and the cash price of the Treasury are known to the basis trader, provided he also knows the repo rate, profits on these bets at delivery are guaranteed.
The basis trade does not, however, offer risk-free profits. Several risks threaten the profitability of the basis trade, and thus create potential consequences for financial stability.

>>1641038The Greatest Credit Event of All
In just the last few weeks, we've seen two major trades — the Yen carry trade and the short volatility trade — "blow up", even though neither lasted nor took the street down with it. What about the basis trade?
We alluded at the start of the year that the "mother of all credit events" would be a disorderly rise in bond yields leading to dollar debasement. This is the "de-dollarization" that keeps Treasury and Federal Reserve officials up at night — not means of trade being re-routed off the dollar and onto other forms of settlement.
A credit event occurs when a borrower can no longer meet debt obligations, leading to a default, bankruptcy, or restructuring. For example, an insolvent bank being unable to pay depositors in a bank run.
There are two legs to the basis trade: the asset managers who express Treasury exposure via buying futures, and the hedge funds who repo finance cash Treasury purchases. While hedge funds are the marginal buyers of cash Treasuries, it's the asset managers who buy Treasury futures that ultimately hold the risk.
The marginal absorber of cash Treasuries remains the basis trade, but it can run into limits either from a regulatory crack down on hedge funds or limitations on dealer repo financing. New research from TBAC suggests that changes in the credit environment could also threaten the trade.
What asset managers do is effectively take the opposite side of the basis trade by selling cash Treasuries outright and using the proceeds to finance their credit investments. They then add back the Treasury exposure through futures.
That positioning also more directly links the Treasury & credit markets together, as potential losses on credit may lead to deleveraging in Treasury positions as managers de-gross.
It could also lead to liquidity squeezes as managers sell Treasuries to meet redemptions, as credit markets may not be liquid to enough to raise cash. Outside of a systemic or apparent credit event, note that credit spreads have spiked this month.
In the wake of such a risk-off credit event (think: a bank failure), monetary authorities are limited to only a few modes of easing. But the rise of foreign, non-official, unhedged accounts as the marginal buyer for Treasuries means that they are particularly vulnerable to dollar devaluation that results from a policy of easing.
Aggressive rate cuts in the name of providing economic support for example may therefore paradoxically be ill advised insofar as it weakens the dollar against other currencies (like the euro), because said non-official accounts would likely firesale their Treasury holdings as they try to avoid realizing losses, spiking repo financing costs and repo rates as dealer warehousing capacity is pushed to the edge.
That was the case in March 2020, when risk-off paradoxically led to a spike in yields, as Treasury holders aggressively sold their securities for cash. Although this time, it may be to preserve foreign capital against unhedged Treasury losses.
(Disclaimer: this is a theoretical but plausible example).

In the unlikely event of a full Democratic sweep of both the Senate, the House, and the Presidency, serious acute downside risks for the broader stock market is likely given negative growth implications of re-regulation and corporate tax hikes impact on earnings, especially after markets have already rallied considerably into the election on expectations of tax cuts.
🗒 In simple terms, if Harris wins but congress is R or split, bonds ($TLT) should rally while bank stocks ($XLF) gold, and bitcoin will likely see downside while the broader market ($SPY) will likely still rally into the end of the year
❗️ However, if Democrats sweep all of congress and the presidency, expect a potential -7% to -10% in the broader market ($SPY) over 1 to 3 months after the election
Overall, market participants are "over-hedged" given recent volatility over the past three months. In the absence of a Democratic sweep, hedge funds are going to FOMO into higher net exposure through to the year's end to make up for the cost of current downside hedging and underexposure.

BLUE DOLLAR UPDATE: $1150
Official dollar sell rate: $1013
Gap between the two: 14
What is the Blue Dollar?
- The Blue Dollar is the black market (ie real) exchange rate between the USD and the ARS, thus it is the best way to track the Argentine inflation rate.
Why is the gap important?
- The gap matters as it shows the imbalance between the official rate and the black market rate, having reached a near 200% gap during the previous administration, it is a priority of the government to be able to get the gap to 0% in order to have a universal free rate as the higher the Blue Dollar gets the larger market share it gets.
Argentina is now very close to achieving financial parity and thus eliminating the financial cepo.

the govt literally dont have a say
powpow straight up didnt even do that bad as chair tbphwu. he prolly saved >us a few p srs bumps and scrapes along the way. he got in day 1 and totally unwound QE 9000, then actually raised rates to respectable levels, so much that >we were able to smack em back down and dodge the yimflu global recession
well at least we came out p solid comparativelynow hes doing basically the same thing due to bank of japan being in hot water, so hes trying to get out ahead of that by lowering rates
i dont think those charts necessarily indicate perceived weakness in US treasuries. i think it has more to do with the bonds market just not being the place to be rn if dup is about to dupregulate the market again.
think about it from the perspective of the bond kikes: you wanna be in the market that makes the most money. period. the only time US treasuries are that is during natl and intl economic downturn. they have a consistent, and depending on the security, inflation-protected yield. plus if held to maturity, payout of the principal as well.
all well and gud, but if you can safely make 10x that elsewhere, youre gonna buy that instead. youre trading the safety and stasis of fixed income in favor of something more liquid and with more volatility
and hopefully with some tax advantagestl;dr
the fed funds rate is being lowered due to intl reasons
BoJ, but the yield on US govt bonds is still going up cuz unlike intlly, natl shit lookin tasty, so fuck HODLing bonds
