Trouble in the banking system has very quickly metastasized from the failures of regional banks, Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank, to hit a globally systemic important one, Credit Suisse.
Systemic risk is obviously a major concern now, which is best observed and indicated in two macro markets, the USD and US rates.
Pay very close attention to what they are doing!
- While each bank has its own individual issues that contributed to their problems, the common underlying factor determining their fate is the same – the global repo market (as explained in our article on SVB)
- Systemic risk is obviously a major concern now, which is best observed and indicated in two macro markets, the USD and US rates
- The main indicator to watch for is an alignment in these two markets, where both move together in a direction which signals deteriorating conditions in the global financial markets. This specifically means a stronger USD, and lower US rates
- The more important macro markets, like oil and base metals, that line up in the same direction, the more danger of a global crisis and selloff
- Currently, US rates have begun to move sharply lower, but the USD has yet to breakout of key levels
