&nbsp;At various points in the past few years, it seemed as though <a href=\"\/campus\/traders-insight\/securities\/fixed-income\/qed-all-news-is-apparently-good-news-for-now\/\">all news was good<\/a>.&nbsp; We just gave the example of early 2021.&nbsp;&nbsp; That was a time when all news could be considered good.&nbsp; We wanted and needed the economy to recover, and if it stumbled, we could expect further extraordinary measures to help it.&nbsp; Yet this week, we had a skein of reports that showed the potential for a slowing economy and stocks responded poorly.&nbsp; The down days could have simply been a bit of profit-taking after a rip-roaring end of the first quarter.&nbsp; We\u2019ll learn more as early as Monday.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>How long can stocks and bonds diverge?&nbsp; We have continually been astounded that stocks can remain relatively sanguine while rates, especially short-term rates, can move about wildly?&nbsp;&nbsp; One of the most graphic divergences occurs when we examine the ICE BofA MOVE Index (MOVE) versus the Cboe Volatility Index (VIX).&nbsp; The former is an index of the normalized volatility on 1-month Treasury options, while the latter measures expectations for equity market volatility over the coming 30 days.&nbsp; The indices are calculated differently, so an apples-to-apples comparison is not perfect, but they are both industry standard proxies.&nbsp; They usually move in rough synch.&nbsp; As the following graph shows, we see MOVE at high levels while VIX dips.&nbsp; This has not happened in the post-Global Financial Crisis era.&nbsp;&nbsp; Somehow, we will need to resolve this differential.&nbsp; Will nerves calm in the bond market, or will stocks develop similar jitters?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-move-index-white-vs-vix-blue-13-years-monthly-data\"><strong><em>MOVE Index (white) vs. VIX (blue), 13-Years Monthly Data<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"936\" height=\"481\" data-src=\"\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/04\/Picture1-7.png\" alt=\"MOVE Index (white) vs. VIX (blue), 13-Years Monthly Data\" class=\"wp-image-188238 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/04\/Picture1-7.png 936w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/04\/Picture1-7-700x360.png 700w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/04\/Picture1-7-300x154.png 300w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/04\/Picture1-7-768x395.png 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 936px) 100vw, 936px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 936px; aspect-ratio: 936\/481;\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Source: Bloomberg<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Stock markets in North America are closed for Good Friday tomorrow.
