SUMMARY
  • Painful trades are usually where the trend seems strong, and participants think it has a lot further to go; leverage usually is high at this point
  • Last year’s yield curve steepener trade saw an abrupt trend change even though inflation expectations continued to rise
  • Pain trade is never apparent, so I looked for prolonging the misery. Oil and rising long-end rates fit the bill.
