Wednesday, April 24th, 2024

PerpetualDiscounts now yield 6.90%, equivalent to 8.97% interest at the standard equivalency factor of 1.3x. Long corporates yielded 5.21% on 2024-4-5 (? previously they were saying the YTM was 5.18% on 2024-4-5; what are they doing?) and since then the closing price of ZLC has changed from 14.79 to 14.52, a decrease of 183bp in price, implying an increase of yields of 15bp (BMO reports a duration of 12.30, but don’t disclose whether this is Macaulay or Modified; I will assume Modified) to 5.36%. Therefore, the pre-tax interest-equivalent spread (in this context, the “Seniority Spread”) has widened to 360bp from the 350bp reported April 17.

Monday, April 22nd, 2024

I will never whine about debugging problems again:

On March 3, the team noticed that activity from one part of the flight data system stood out from the rest of the garbled data. While the signal wasn’t in the format the Voyager team is used to seeing when the flight data system is functioning as expected, an engineer with NASA’s Deep Space Network was able to decode it.
…
The decoded signal included a readout of the entire flight data system’s memory.

By investigating the readout, the team determined the cause of the issue: 3% of the flight data system’s memory is corrupted. A single chip responsible for storing part of the system’s memory, including some of the computer’s software code, isn’t working properly. While the cause of the chip’s failure is unknown, it could be worn out or may have been hit by an energetic particle from space, the team said.

The loss of the code on the chip caused Voyager 1’s science and engineering data to be unusable.

Since there was no way to repair the chip, the team opted to store the affected code from the chip elsewhere in the system’s memory. While they couldn’t pinpoint a location large enough to hold all of the code, they were able to divide the code into sections and store it in different spots within the flight data system.

“To make this plan work, they also needed to adjust those code sections to ensure, for example, that they all still function as a whole,” according to an update from NASA. “Any references to the location of that code in other parts of the (flight data system) memory needed to be updated as well.”

Wednesday, April 17th, 2024

PerpetualDiscounts now yield 6.75%, equivalent to 8.78% interest at the standard equivalency factor of 1.3x. Long corporates yielded 5.18% on 2024-4-5 and since then the closing price of ZLC has changed from 14.79 to 14.62, a decrease of 115bp in price, implying an increase of yields of 9bp (BMO reports a duration of 12.33, but don’t disclose whether this is Macaulay or Modified; I will assume Modified) to 5.27%. Therefore, the pre-tax interest-equivalent spread (in this context, the “Seniority Spread”) has widened slightly (and perhaps spuriously) to 350bp from the 345bp reported April 10.

Monday, April 15th, 2024

TXPR closed at 576.10, down 0.87% on the day. Volume today was 2.22-million, above the median of the past 21 trading days.

CPD closed at 11.45, down 0.87% on the day. Volume was 67,520, second-highest of the past 21 trading days.

ZPR closed at 9.86, down 0.90% on the day. Volume was 135,870, fourth-highest of the past 21 trading days.

Five-year Canada yields were up to 3.80%.

The Globe managed to get some Canadian content into their commentary:

Canada’s main stock index fell to a five-week low on Monday as long-term borrowing costs climbed and investors worried that this week’s federal budget would propose raising taxes.
…
U.S. stocks also fell as an early lift from a strong retail sales report gave way to a jump in Treasury yields and concerns about rising tensions in the Middle East.

I’m going to go with US retail sales, although that means the abject surrender of Canadian sovereignity and the demise of Canadian exceptionalism:

Treasuries showed a substantial move to the downside during trading on Monday, as strong U.S. retail sales data added to concerns about the outlook for interest rates.

Bond prices regained some ground after falling sharply in early trading but remained firmly negative. As a result, the yield on the benchmark ten-year note, which moves opposite of its price, surged 12.9 basis points to 4.628 percent.

With the significant increase on the day, the ten-year yield ended the session at its highest closing level in five months.

The sell-off by treasuries came after the Commerce Department released a report showing much stronger than expected U.S. retail sales growth in the month of March.

The Commerce Department said retail sales climbed by 0.7 percent in March after advancing by an upwardly revised 0.9 percent in February.
