December 30, 2020

PerpetualDiscounts now yield 5.05%, equivalent to 6.56% interest at the standard equivalency factor of 1.3x. Long corporates now yield 2.84%, so the pre-tax interest-equivalent spread (in this context, the “Seniority Spread”) has narrowed slightly (and perhaps spuriously) to 370bp from the 375bp reported December 16.

Market Action

December 23, 2020

I was fascinated to read about the Royal Ottawa Golf Club’s CEWS-derived operating surplus:

The Royal Ottawa Golf Club, one of the country’s most prominent private courses, has banked a $1-million surplus from its past season, thanks mostly to federal subsidies for workers’ wages during the COVID-19 pandemic.

CBC News has obtained the club’s audited financial statements, and a recording of its annual general meeting, in which its board told members about the club’s “very strong financial position” due to the Canada emergency wage subsidy (CEWS) windfall.

“We ended up with a rather substantial subsidy,” Doug McLarty, the club treasurer, told participants in the Dec. 5 online video meeting. “It was over a million dollars. And that ended up on the bottom line.”
…
“I can tell you that pretty well every club in Ontario that we are aware of, and in Quebec, applied for that subsidy. And many of them are in a similar situation to what we have enjoyed this year — they have an operating surplus that they weren’t anticipating.” [said McLarty]

It was interesting because not only did the effect go far beyond partial mitigation of coronavirus damage, but because I can’t figure out how they qualified. This puzzlement led to curiosity about investment management firms – we weren’t subject to lockdowns and fees are based on assets under management. So I used the CRA CEWS Registry to search for a few investment management companies that might have obtained some of this largesse … it turns out that quite a few of them were sucking government tit!

If anybody can tell me why these guys don’t deserve to be classed as welfare bums, let me know!

Market Action

December 16, 2020

Today’s FOMC Statement contained no surprises:

The Federal Reserve is committed to using its full range of tools to support the U.S. economy in this challenging time, thereby promoting its maximum employment and price stability goals.

The COVID-19 pandemic is causing tremendous human and economic hardship across the United States and around the world. Economic activity and employment have continued to recover but remain well below their levels at the beginning of the year. Weaker demand and earlier declines in oil prices have been holding down consumer price inflation. Overall financial conditions remain accommodative, in part reflecting policy measures to support the economy and the flow of credit to U.S. households and businesses.

The path of the economy will depend significantly on the course of the virus. The ongoing public health crisis will continue to weigh on economic activity, employment, and inflation in the near term, and poses considerable risks to the economic outlook over the medium term.

The Committee seeks to achieve maximum employment and inflation at the rate of 2 percent over the longer run. With inflation running persistently below this longer-run goal, the Committee will aim to achieve inflation moderately above 2 percent for some time so that inflation averages 2 percent over time and longer-term inflation expectations remain well anchored at 2 percent. The Committee expects to maintain an accommodative stance of monetary policy until these outcomes are achieved. The Committee decided to keep the target range for the federal funds rate at 0 to 1/4 percent and expects it will be appropriate to maintain this target range until labor market conditions have reached levels consistent with the Committee’s assessments of maximum employment and inflation has risen to 2 percent and is on track to moderately exceed 2 percent for some time. In addition, the Federal Reserve will continue to increase its holdings of Treasury securities by at least $80 billion per month and of agency mortgage-backed securities by at least $40 billion per month until substantial further progress has been made toward the Committee’s maximum employment and price stability goals. These asset purchases help foster smooth market functioning and accommodative financial conditions, thereby supporting the flow of credit to households and businesses.

In assessing the appropriate stance of monetary policy, the Committee will continue to monitor the implications of incoming information for the economic outlook. The Committee would be prepared to adjust the stance of monetary policy as appropriate if risks emerge that could impede the attainment of the Committee’s goals. The Committee’s assessments will take into account a wide range of information, including readings on public health, labor market conditions, inflation pressures and inflation expectations, and financial and international developments.

Voting for the monetary policy action were Jerome H. Powell, Chair; John C. Williams, Vice Chair; Michelle W. Bowman; Lael Brainard; Richard H. Clarida; Patrick Harker; Robert S. Kaplan; Neel Kashkari; Loretta J. Mester; and Randal K. Quarles.

The New York Times reports:

[Jerome H. Powell, Chair,] used his post-meeting remarks to paint a picture of a bifurcated economy, one in which many businesses and households face acute economic pain in the near-term, coupled with the expectation that the economy would snap back once vaccines were widely available — a development that he guessed could come about as soon as midyear.

The United States could then see a long period of unbroken growth, Mr. Powell predicted, signaling that he and his colleagues were prepared to leave rates low for years on end as they try to return the labor market and broader economy to full strength.
…
Despite that upgrade [in projected 2021 economic growth], the median Fed official continued to project interest rates near-zero through the end of 2023, demonstrating the central bank’s plan to move glacially coming out of the crisis.

PerpetualDiscounts now yield 5.04%, equivalent to 6.55% interest at the standard equivalency factor of 1.3x. Long corporates now yield 2.80%, so the pre-tax interest-equivalent spread (in this context, the “Seniority Spread”) has remained steady at the 375bp reported December 9.
