No safe havens

Jason Goepfert
2020-03-19
The bond market is seeing wild swings, which we see during times of extreme duress. The dollar has spiked to one of the largest degrees ever.

So much for a safe haven

The normally staid bond market has been gyrating wildly, and it’s unlike any investors have experienced for decades. The daily percentage changes in 10-year Treasury note futures has averaged nearly 2.5 standard deviations over the last two weeks. The only time that exceeds this was the blow-off peak in October 1998.

Wild swings in bonds z-score

Going back to 1982, for bonds this kind of volatility coincided roughly with two peaks and one trough. For stocks, it proved to be a boon…eventually. 


Huge dollar spikes

The U.S. Dollar Index spiked over the past 7 days as investors and traders scramble for cash. The spike we just saw was even larger than during the worst of the 2008 crisis.

Dollar big rallies

When the USD Index spiked more than 6% in the past 7 days, it rallied further before peaking as the momentum didn't let up for a while.

Risk Disclosure: Futures and forex trading contains substantial risk and is not for every investor. An investor could potentially lose all or more than the initial investment. Risk capital is money that can be lost without jeopardizing ones’ financial security or life style. Only risk capital should be used for trading and only those with sufficient risk capital should consider trading. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results.

Hypothetical Performance Disclosure: Hypothetical performance results have many inherent limitations, some of which are described below. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown; in fact, there are frequently sharp differences between hypothetical performance results and the actual results subsequently achieved by any particular trading program. One of the limitations of hypothetical performance results is that they are generally prepared with the benefit of hindsight. In addition, hypothetical trading does not involve financial risk, and no hypothetical trading record can completely account for the impact of financial risk of actual trading. for example, the ability to withstand losses or to adhere to a particular trading program in spite of trading losses are material points which can also adversely affect actual trading results. There are numerous other factors related to the markets in general or to the implementation of any specific trading program which cannot be fully accounted for in the preparation of hypothetical performance results and all which can adversely affect trading results.
