Keep an eye on the insurance industry ETFs, kie and iak, because capital losses on bond holdings are mounting.ccash04 wrote:New lows on TLT and Investment Grade bonds, not good, zero bounce in them either.. not good for today, Fed meeting tomorrow maybe holds market up but if bonds keep going this way and dollar stays strong, testing June lows seems in the cards sooner rather than later.
This is a great point. So far today proved me wrong in that tech not really following long rates or maybe apple is holding everything up, thought move in rates would be fairly negative for stocks.Daniel wrote:Keep an eye on the insurance industry ETFs, kie and iak, because capital losses on bond holdings are mounting.ccash04 wrote:New lows on TLT and Investment Grade bonds, not good, zero bounce in them either.. not good for today, Fed meeting tomorrow maybe holds market up but if bonds keep going this way and dollar stays strong, testing June lows seems in the cards sooner rather than later.
The industry is now largely a house of cards, with "anticipated returns" being skewed by assumptions, based on past years, of capital gains in bonds. These actuarial computations, on which future annuity and claims payouts are based, are about as sound as the 2005-7 housing market assumption that "home prices only go up".
KIE and IAK are currently underperforming both the general market and XLF. They're both either at or below their 50day and 200day simple MAs.
