Treasury Blood Letting

Anyone get the tag of that truck that hit Treasuries?

Treasuries continue their sell-off today as we are getting signs that a recovery is in our midst (yep, them green shoots).  I fully expect that this will continue to happen should we continue to trade off fundamental data.  Should the Eurozone blossom into a full fledged panic, all bets are off.  I would stay short my duration here and focus on spread product, well credit product.  Why credit product - mortgage duration is extending and credit still has a favorable risk/return profile.  The risk premium in credit is still attractive relative to historical standards.  More on this later.



Disclosure:  Long TBT.
