The big news of the day was the FOMC press release<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Information received since the Federal Open Market Committee met in March suggests that economic growth slowed during the winter months, in part reflecting transitory factors. The pace of job gains moderated, and the unemployment rate remained steady. A range of labor market indicators suggests that underutilization of labor resources was little changed. Growth in household spending declined; households’ real incomes rose strongly, partly reflecting earlier declines in energy prices, and consumer sentiment remains high. Business fixed investment softened, the recovery in the housing sector remained slow, and exports declined. Inflation continued to run below the Committee’s longer-run objective, partly reflecting earlier declines in energy prices and decreasing prices of non-energy imports. Market-based measures of inflation compensation remain low; survey-based measures of longer-term inflation expectations have remained stable.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The word “transitory” was bad for bonds<\/a>:<\/p>\n

U.S. government debt declined a third day as a rout in European bonds made U.S. securities less attractive. Yields briefly dropped after the Fed said a first-quarter economic slowdown was transitory, with the selloff recommencing as traders looked in vain for some direction in the central bank\u2019s policy statement.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey\u2019re like everyone else, looking at the data and saying \u2018we think it\u2019s transitory,\u2019\u201d said New York-based Jack Flaherty, who manages the $17 billion GAM Unconstrained Bond Strategy. \u201cBut their crystal ball is no better than anyone else\u2019s.\u201d<\/p>\n

The yield on the 10-year note rose four basis points, or 0.04 percentage point, to 2.04 percent as of 5 p.m. in New York, according to Bloomberg Bond Trader data. The price of the benchmark 2 percent security due in February 2025 fell 10\/32, or $3.13 per $1,000 face value, to 99 21\/32.<\/p>\n

Yields touched 2.08 percent, the highest since March 16, still below the 2014 close of 2.17 percent.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Rout in European bonds? That sounds interesting<\/a>:<\/p>\n

German 10-year bond yields rose 12 basis points, or 0.12 percentage point, to a seven-week high of 0.29 percent as of the London close. That\u2019s the biggest jump since January 2013. The 0.5 percent bund due in February 2025 fell 1.195, or 11.95 euros per 1,000-euro face amount, to 102.075.<\/p>\n

The volume of bund futures contracts traded climbed to 1,099,253, the most since March 5.<\/p>\n

Germany got bids of 3.649 billion euros at its notes auction, short of the 4 billion-euro sales goal. It\u2019s the first time an auction of five-year debt missed the target since Jan. 21 and the third bond sale that was technically uncovered this year, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. The nation sold the securities due in 2020 at an average yield of minus 0.07 percent.<\/p>\n

Adding to the supply pressure, Italy auctioned 8.25 billion euros of debt on Wednesday, while Portugal sold 2.5 billion euros of 10- and 30-year bonds via banks.<\/p>\n

Bonds extended losses across Europe amid signs inflation is reviving in the region, reducing the value of fixed payments on bonds.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

So at least Bernanke will have interesting things to discuss<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Pimco has hired former Federal Reserve chairman Ben Bernanke as a senior adviser, the bond fund manager said Wednesday.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s the latest private venture for Bernanke, who since his departure from the nation\u2019s central bank last year has been on the speaking circuit and was recently hired by a major hedge fund as an adviser as well.<\/p>\n

Bernanke will provide economic advice to Pimco\u2019s fund managers and will occasionally interact with the firm\u2019s clients, the Newport Beach, Calif.-based company said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

In response to higher bond yields and particularly higher anticipated GOC-5 rates, the Canadian preferred share market roared ahead today, albeit rather unevenly, with PerpetualDiscounts up 9bp, FixedResets winning 91bp and DeemedRetractibles gaining 7bp. The Performance Highlights table is, um, about what you would expect, with no losers. Volume was above average, with more than usual inter-dealer block trades.<\/p>\n

For as long as the FixedReset market is so violently unsettled, I\u2019ll keep publishing updates of the more interesting and meaningful series of FixedResets\u2019 Implied Volatilities. This doesn\u2019t include Enbridge because although Enbridge has a large number of issues outstanding, all of which are quite liquid, the range of Issue Reset Spreads is too small for decent conclusions. The low is 212bp (ENB.PR.H; second-lowest is ENB.PR.D at 237bp) and the high is a mere 268 for ENB.PF.G.<\/p>\n

Remember that all rich \/cheap assessments are:
\n\u00bb based on Implied Volatility Theory only
\n\u00bb are relative only to other FixedResets from the same issuer
\n\u00bb assume constant GOC-5 yield
\n\u00bb assume constant Implied Volatility
\n\u00bb assume constant spread<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s TRP:<\/p>\n

\"impVol_TRP_150429\"<\/a>
Click for Big<\/i><\/div>\n

TRP.PR.E, which resets 2019-10-30 at +235, is bid at 23.81 to be $0.95 rich, while TRP.PR.G, resetting 2020-11-30 at +296, is $0.71 cheap at its bid price of 25.00.<\/p>\n

\"impVol_MFC_150429\"<\/a>

Another excellent fit, but the numbers are perplexing. Implied Volatility for MFC continues to be a conundrum. It is still too high if we consider that NVCC rules will never apply to these issues; it is still too low if we consider them to be NVCC non-compliant issues (and therefore with Deemed Maturities in the call schedule).<\/p>\n

Most expensive is MFC.PR.N, resetting at +230 on 2020-3-19, bid at 23.40 to be $0.31 rich, while MFC.PR.H, resetting at +313bp on 2017-3-19, is bid at 25.35 to be $0.52 cheap.<\/p>\n

\"impVol_BAM_150429\"<\/a>
Click for Big<\/i><\/div>\n

The cheapest issue relative to its peers is BAM.PR.R, resetting at +230bp on 2016-6-30, bid at 19.95 to be $0.76 cheap. BAM.PR.X, resetting at +180bp 2017-6-30 is bid at 18.55 and appears to be $1.00 rich.<\/p>\n

\"impVol_FTS_150429\"<\/a>
Click for Big<\/i><\/div>\n

FTS.PR.H, with a spread of +145bp, and bid at 16.20, looks $0.91 cheap and resets 2015-6-1. FTS.PR.M, with a spread of +248bp and resetting 2019-12-1, is bid at 24.95 and is $0.58 rich.<\/p>\n

\"pairs_FR_150429\"<\/a>

Investment-grade pairs now predict an average over the next five years of about 0.25%, but TRP.PR.A \/ TRP.PR.F is an outlier at -0.54% and the new BNS.PR.Y \/ BNS.PR.D pair is at +0.95%. The DC.PR.B \/ DC.PR.D pair retains its customary outlier status, with a breakeven rate of -1.52%.<\/p>\n

Shall we just say that this exhibits a high level of confidence in the continued rapacity of Canadian banks?<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
