3/➯ Macro Metrics 📈
① Saudi Arabia and China are reducing their US Treasury holdings significantly KobeissiLetter
Saudi Arabia's holdings dropped from $184 billion to $108 billion, down 41%.
China's holdings fell to a 14-year low of $835 billion, down 40% from its peak.
The global flight out of US Treasuries is concerning.
② Non-farm payroll numbers have been revised lower for 7 consecutive months, a trend last seen during the Great Financial Crisis.
Negative revisions continue after the July 2023 report. Historically, similar negative revision trends occurred during economic downturns. (@HedgeyeFIG)
③ China vs USA - Chart of the Day
Shanghai Composite vs S&P500 shows a wild picture. Chinese stock market reopened in the early 90s after a long closure due to war. It exhibits mean reversion with occasional booms and bubbles.
When will the switch be turned on? Cheap valuations compared to history, but stimulus is needed for a new bull market. Interesting chart with future opportunities.
④ Eurozone Forecast DeItaone
⑤ Japan's 10y yield jumps to 0.71%, the highest since 2014 after hawkish comments from BoJ Governor Kazuo Ueda on the negative interest rate policy Schuldensuehner
Ueda says CenBank may have enough data by year-end to judge wage growth, a key factor in deciding super-easy policy
⑥ The US diesel stockpile is near a five-year seasonal low Mayhem4Markets
⑦ Oil became overbought recently, but the larger move may not be over yet Mayhem4Markets
⑧ Quarterly increase in mortgage debt:
Check the Federal Reserve's Financial Accounts of the United States - Z.1 report for the latest data on mortgage debt. In the mid-'00s, there was a significant increase due to the housing bubble.
In Q2 2023, mortgage debt increased $90 billion, up from $55 billion in Q1, and down from the cycle peak of $471 billion in Q2 2021. Note the almost 7 years of declining mortgage debt as distressed sales (foreclosures and short sales) wiped out a significant amount of debt.
However, some of this debt is being used to increase the housing stock (purchase new homes), so this isn’t all Mortgage Equity Withdrawal (MEW).

⑦ Market mood swings reflected in liquidity extremes Negentropic_
- Liquidation levels show stakes: ⬇️ $25.5k drop hurts longs & $25.3k retest. A $26k breakthrough may trigger short squeezes, driving upward momentum.
- In this range, squeeze-led moves don't guarantee breakouts. It's a liquidation game. Stay sharp, avoid fake breakouts.
Keep the big picture in focus at critical levels.
