ZROZ
ZROZ — Current recommendation: sell. Our tactical view is to reduce exposure given recent evidence of foreign selling of U.S. Treasuries that has pressured long-term yields. Ultra-long duration of this instrument increases sensitivity to term-premium moves and volatility, so risk management and position sizing are critical.
Recent proof-backed thesis calls
No prior open calls on record. The current actionable item is a tactical short-duration trade based on reported foreign Treasury outflows in March.
Fragmented macro commentary focused on inflation (PCE) and Federal Reserve bond-buying (QE) and its implications for long-term contract pricing and long-term interest rates. No company-specific information; mostly a rates/liquidity narrative.
Post expresses a macro view: the current selloff in rates (interpretable as rising yields / falling bond prices) is likely early-stage, implying further upward pressure on yields and continued downside risk for duration-sensitive assets.
Current stance
Recommendation: sell. Rationale: foreign holdings of U.S. Treasuries fell by $139 billion in March to $9.35 trillion, the largest monthly decline reported, which has contributed to upward pressure on long-term yields. Confidence: 50%. Source: https://x.com/kobeissiletter.
