Dave Cervantes (@pinebrookcap.bsky.social ) is one of my fave people on FinTwit, and we've had an offline and ongoing conversation about macro for quite some time. (He can confirm how often I'm wrong.)
Nice to share some of that convo with the rest of you!

Maybe this will persist due to regime change.
Maybe they get more stretched and stay there.
But the money tree roulette table doesnβt always work in one direction unless the game has changed.
Maybe it has. But so far itβs just politicians talking.

Now. Here is the crazy thing. These things are looking stretched.
China and Europe are at negative 2 standard deviations compared to short USA.
Japan over 1-sigma. And EMM is approaching 1-sigma.
This is how are those pairs are doing today on a price basis, not inclusive of borrow costs or dividends.

Trash spreads inform us that the pricing of the lowest and riskiest credits within the investment grade and high yield universe has actually IMPROVED.
Now ask yourself why that would happen if growth and inflation were going to fall apart?
Credit markets donβt think growth or inflation will go off the rails.
Trash spreads in IG and HY have actually improved a smidgen since December 4th.
The good news is we can triangulate growth and inflation using other mkt instruments.
