If coronavirus fears escalate, Wells Fargo warns 10-year Treasury yields could fall another 30%

The benchmark 10-year Treasury Note yield is already down 22% so far this year. On Friday, the 10-year yield hit a low of 1.50% its lowest level since early September. If the coronavirus situation continues to deteriorate, Schumacher warns 10-year yields could fall at least another 30%. If stocks continue to get hammered, Schumacher expects it to put Treasury yields under more pressure. "For every one percent move in the S&P, it's worth four basis points maybe in the 10-year," Schumacher said.

Treasury brings back the 20-year bond to pay for the ballooning deficit

The Treasury Department is issuing a 20-year bond for the first time in 34 years to help pay for the ballooning $1 trillion dollar budget deficit. On Friday, news of the 20-year triggered a so-called "steepening" trade where Treasury yields on the long end of the curve rose, like 10-year and 30-year yields, and shorter duration yields, like the 2-year, fell. Strategists say investors were betting the new 20-year will help drive rates higher at the long end of the Treasury curve. "At that time, we had been strong advocates for a 20-year issue, and had even penciled one into our baseline forecasts. "We really need to lock in low yields long term but 20-years was the compromise."

Don't count out a 2020 rate hike: Wells Fargo's Michael Schumacher

If jobs market strength persists, Wells Fargo Securities Michael Schumacher isn't ruling out a 2020 interest rate hike especially if the Federal Reserve decides to add one more insurance cut early next year. Right now, the fed funds futures market is placing a fraction of one percent chance the Fed will raise rates next year. It's pretty darn good," said Schumacher. And, the view from our economics team is pretty simple," Schumacher said. "The U.S. economy is in a pretty good spot."

Interest rates suddenly entered a new phase and they are moving higher thanks to possible trade deal

As a possible trade deal gets closer, investors are less fearful of a recession and interest rates are in a new trend higher. "The one thing in Washington that's affecting markets, and the only thing, is the trade deal," said Andrew Brenner of National Alliance. ... How quickly you resumed higher rates and how quickly the curve is steepening out tells me the trend is changing, and we're moving to a very large trend higher in interest rates." "I think a lot of this is optimism over the trade deal possibly getting done. The 10-year yield hit its high for the year in January at near 2.80%, falling to its low in September.

The bond market may do something unusual for this time of year

Wells Fargo Securities' Michael Schumacher sees year-end bond market volume dropping off earlier than usual. According to the firm's global head of rate strategy, the slide will likely occur around Thanksgiving instead of mid-December. Not only is Wall Street still thinking about last year's painful historic stock market drop, Schumacher blames the geopolitical backdrop. He contends it's putting bond investors on edge. "Why should I take a lot of risk around year-end when I can't really get a grip on some of these things?"

The bond market's roller coaster ride could continue until there's a clear signal either way on recession

Strategists said it appears the Bank of Japan will buy fewer longer duration bonds in its quantitative easing program, and that could pressure rates higher. But then in the U.S., ISM manufacturing fell to 47.8% in September, its second month of contraction, and the lowest since June 2009. Schumacher said Tuesday was the 22nd day in 2019 with a 10 basis point or more move in the 10-year yield. That was the year of the presidential election, but also the Brexit vote, after which the 10-year yield fell as low as 1.32%. Wells Fargo expects the 10-year to be at 1.70% at the end of the year, while Bank of America sees a 1.25% 10-year yield.
