A New Concern: Falling U.S. Treasury Demand*If the market for US government bonds were to soften materially, the pricing of countless other instruments could be impacted.*It may well be that the global appetite for US government securities has been sated, at least for the moment.*The IMF estimates that central banks in emerging markets have reduced their holdings of U.S. debt by a cumulative $300 billion so far this year.Media coverage of inflationary effects primarily focuses on the impact of rising price levels upon consumers and producers, but there are clearly effects beyond those. As monetary authorities initiate policies intending to stem the upward trend of prices, financial markets may become more volatile than normal. Should inflation prove stubborn, or particularly unpredictable and thus difficult for contractionary monetary policy to counteract, financial markets may become excessively volatile. High levels of volatility dissuade investment, and at very high levels, careening markets may pose a threat to financial stability. In either case, the prices that guide economic calculation become less reliable. Supply- and demand-driven changes in relative prices, which provide information to entrepreneurs and seasoned managers alike, can be completely masked by broad moves in the general price level.Early in the pandemic, the Federal Reserve undertook one of the fastest quantitative easing campaigns in its then 107-year history, under conditions ostensibly necessitating such actions. But like all major government programs, unintended consequences are likely; we may be experiencing some early effects at present.For both the US and the UK, inflation is taking a toll on sovereign (government-issued) bond markets. For several reasons, the typical purchasers of US Treasury bonds have been stepping away from the market. Treasury bond yields are used as the global proxy for the "risk free rate," a variable that impacts countless financial and economic calculations all over the world. If the market for US government bonds were to soften materially, the pricing of countless other instruments could be impacted. A loss of confidence in the reliability of bond prices could have massive ripple effects with negative implications for the entire world's financial system. There have already been warnings that this risk "poses one of the greatest threats to global financial stability today, potentially worse than the housing bubble of 2004-2007."The biggest drop in demand has come from the Federal Reserve, which "plans to offload Treasuries from its balance sheet to $60 billion a month." This transition, called the balance sheet "runoff," constitutes a massive change in US monetary policy. For the past few decades, the Federal Reserve has been a major buyer of US Treasuries (and other instruments), and after essentially supporting that market for years, the reversal of the policy is being felt acutely. For conditions to remain as they were, the withdrawal of demand previously provided by the Fed must now be made up by other buyers. But high debt loads, rising inflation, and the slowing of growth globally has foreign governments and large international financial firms wary of buying US debt. As a result, Bloomberg reports that the "Bloomberg US Treasury Total Return Index has lost about 13 percent this year, almost four times as much as in 2009, the worst full year result on record for the gauge since its 1973 inception." This has prompted some analysts to warn of an illiquidity spiral, in which "volatility creates more illiquidity, which leads to more volatility," which in turn causes yet more illiquidity.(...)

Amazon Becomes First Company Ever To Lose $1 Trillion In Stock ValuePosted by BeauHD on Wednesday November 09, 2022 @10:30PM from the nothing-to-celebrate dept.An anonymous reader quotes a report from Gizmodo:CitarAmazon, one of the first companies to join the prestigious $1 trillion dollar valuation club, just passed another, admittedly less desirable milestone. This week, Jeff Bezos' Everything Store became the first publicly traded company to lose $1 trillion in market valuation. The mind boggling figures, first noted by Bloomberg, are the results of a worsening economy, repeatedly dour earnings reports, and massive stock selloffs. Amazon, valued at $1.882 trillion on June 21, on Thursday reported a comparatively measly $878 billion valuation. Microsoft, which briefly surpassed Apple as the world's most valuable company last year, wasn't far behind, with market valuation losses hovering around $900 billion. Combined, the two companies' declines capture the effect of a lousy year most in tech would like to soon forget.Those declines aren't just limited to Amazon and Microsoft. The top five most valuable U.S. tech companies reportedly lost a combined $4 trillion in value this year. To put that in perspective, that's more than the combined GDPs of Turkey, Argentina, and Switzerland. Amazon, in particular, disappointed investors last month with third quarter revenues that failed to meet expectations. Worse still, the company said it's expecting to post fourth quarter year-over-year growth of just 2-8%. That's fine for a normal company, but there's nothing normal about Amazon which was, until now, a relentless growth machine. Like many other companies Amazon's also had to contend with declining e-commerce shopping as consumers, less concerned with covid-19, begin to trickle back into retail stores."There is obviously a lot happening in the macroeconomic environment," CEO Andy Jassy said following the third quarter earnings report. "And we'll balance our investments to be more streamlined without compromising our key long-term, strategic bets."

[...] Recalco también lo que ha dicho pollo. Hay más cursos, bootcamps, y hasta intentos de colar la programación en la educación obligatoria que nunca. Y sin embargo siguen sin salir los profesionales que el "mercado" necesita para hacer dumping de condiciones laborales como en otros sitios. Hace falta una capacidad de abstracción y razonamiento lógico que no todo el mundo tiene. Y para bien o para mal, es el talento que Dios o la naturaleza me han dado. Igual que siempre he sido un zote para el fútbol.
Cuando en un sector vean estrellitas y estrellonas, me da igual que sea Mario Conde o Elon Musk empiecen a poner reparos.
