My Winter Vision Versus the Consensus
To follow-up on a blog post and running thesis of mine, the tweet, below, by Lisa Abramowicz of Bloomberg points out consensus on The Street for rates on the 10-year Note for 2021.
A slight rise is projected across the board, pretty much without exception.
As per my previous work on this topic, I therefore have growing conviction in either no rise in rates at all or, the scenario I am leaning towards, a sharp, scary spike in rates which forces many a financial model to recalibrate and possibly cause dislocations.
But a steady-as-she-goes little rise in rates seems way too expected and way too easy at this point.
Note that both of those scenarios would frustrate this consensus.
