Fed Fisher Comments From Beijing

Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas President Richard Fisher quoted via Wall Street Journal.

“At least for the period over which the Fed has been applying its new tools, it has been quite true that ‘gentlemen prefer American bonds,’” noting the relatively strong performance of U.S. Treasurys relative to European government alternatives.

Ultimately, “demand for Treasurys and other official paper of U.S. government issuers will be determined by their attractiveness relative to alternatives, and they may well be judged more, rather than less, attractive under most reasonable future scenarios,” Fisher said.

The short squeeze in bonds remains in it’s infancy.
