The bond vigilantes are back again.<\/p>\n

That group, defined as investors who protest U.S. fiscal policies by selling bonds, keeps demanding more term premium, or compensation, to hold government securities to maturity, according to Ben Emons, senior portfolio manager and head of fixed income for NewEdge Wealth LLC in New York. For now, that\u2019s been overwhelming any buying interest from other investors searching for yield.<\/p>\n

\n

Emons points out that the 10-year Treasury yield
\n BX:TMUBMUSD10Y,<\/span>
\n which ended Wednesday at 4.952% or the second-highest level of this year amid a renewed selloff in U.S. government bonds, is moving rapidly toward its forward yield of 5.75%. That forward yield, as shown on Bloomberg, reflects where traders expect the 10-year yield to be five or 10 years from now, and \u201cis not an unrealistic\u201d level which could be reached in the near future, Emons said via phone.<\/p>\n

Treasury yields are simply returning to historically normal-looking levels, but the speed with which they\u2019re getting there poses risks to financial markets and the U.S. economy. One reason is that corporations, used to borrowing at low rates in the past, would be forced to absorb higher interest rates when they refinance and trim costs elsewhere. <\/p>\n

Joseph Kalish, chief global macro strategist with Ned Davis Research in Sarasota, Fla., has identified a 10-year Treasury yield that rises above 5.25% as one risk that could lead to something breaking in the economy, financial markets or both because that level marks the \u201cimportant double-top\u201d reached in 2006-07 and the peak Federal Reserve policy rate of that cycle.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the term premium \u2014 or theoretical level that encapsulates all of the risks that investors want to be compensated for \u2014 just keeps rising, based on estimates from the New York Fed. That premium, which is hard to quantify, includes everything from the U.S. fiscal outlook and a potentially unending supply of Treasurys to inflation, stronger economic growth, and higher-for-longer rates. It\u2019s jumped alongside the amount of Treasury bills being issued as a percentage of outstanding government debt, according to Emons.<\/p>\n

Wednesday\u2019s selloff helped to reverse the impact of Monday\u2019s session, when buying prevailed after a pair of big-name investors questioned the continued strength of the U.S. economy. Bill Gross, co-founder of fixed-income investing giant Pacific Investment Management Co.,\u00a0said the economy is likely to be heading for a recession by year-end, Pershing Square\u2019s Bill Ackman\u00a0said he has closed his bet against 30-year Treasury bonds
\n BX:TMUBMUSD30Y
\n and the \u201ceconomy is slowing faster than recent data suggests.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat we saw on Monday was a knee-jerk reaction to Ackman and Gross, it was a brief covering of shorts,\u201d said Emons of NewEdge Wealth. \u201cBut that\u2019s not enough to actually reverse the rise in rates based on strong economic data and more borrowing by Treasury. It would truly change if we had people in Congress say, \u2018This is it, we will cut spending,\u2019 but we are not there yet.\u201d<\/p>\n

Wednesday\u2019s resumed Treasurys selloff took place against a backdrop in which Washington is trying to bounce back from dysfunction. The Republican-led U.S. House of Representatives finally managed to elect a new speaker, Rep. Mike Johnson of Louisiana, on Wednesday after a chaotic three-week period in which it was without a leader.<\/p>\n

Rates on everything from 1-year Treasury bills
\n BX:TMUBMUSD01Y
\n through the 30-year bond
\n BX:TMUBMUSD30Y
\n went higher on Wednesday, led by advances in intermediate- and long-term yields. Meanwhile, all three major U.S. stock indexes
\n DJIA<\/p>\n

SPX<\/p>\n

COMP
\n ended down, led by a 2.3% drop in the Nasdaq Composite.<\/p>\n

One of the technical factors driving the ongoing selling of longer-term government debt right now is the need of mortgage-linked servicers and portfolio managers to manage their risks and exposures to interest rates on mortgage-backed securities, according to Emons. <\/p>\n

For now, MBS is \u201cpositively convex\u201d \u2014 meaning that each time long-term yields rise, the price on mortgage-backed securities declines, which can make the bond market prone to wilder swings. That also can trigger more selling by mortgage-linked players, and positive convexity may be enough to push the 10-year rate to 5.5% at some point, he said.<\/p>\n

Whether a 5.25%-5.75% 10-year Treasury yield would be enough to break the economy \u201cdepends on when companies have to refinance maturing debt. That could really impact the economy because a lot of companies would look at cost-cutting and layoffs,\u201d Emons said.<\/p>\n

In determining what might cause damage in financial markets, he said that \u201cit\u2019s more about whether leverage in the system is going to be unwound, and that\u2019s hard to estimate. If I were to point to something that could break, unwinding of leverage by hedge funds would be one way that could happen\u201d and it could be \u201cmultiple hedge funds\u201d involved \u201cbecause interest paid on that leverage is getting too high.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
