HOW DO T-BILL YIELDS GO NEGATIVE? BY THE APLIA ECONOMICS CONTENT TEAM The week of September 15, 2008, was ripe with volatility in U.S. financial markets. Events unfolding in the wake of the mortgage crisis made investors extremely fearful. One result of this fear was a “flight to quality” as investors sought to avoid risk by moving their funds into the safest asset classes. U.S. Treasury securities (or “Treasuries,” as they’re commonly known) are one such asset class, considered to have virtually no risk. An article from the Associated Press (Madlen Read, “Treasures Dip on RTC Speculation, but Anxiety High,” September 18, 2008) discusses some of the factors that led investors to bid up the prices of 3-month United States Treasury bills (T-bills) to such an extent that their yields fell to a shockingly low level. Before 2008, the last time the T-bill yield was negative was 1940, in the early stages of World War II. According to the article: Heavy buying of the 3-month Treasury bill,…

Assuming all else equal, the following happens in the economy. “Wages have grown more slowly than the economy in the wake of the 2008 crisis, and faster growth in recent months has been offset by rising inflation. The most recent available data, average hourly wages increased by 2.9 percent, but after adjusting for inflation, the increase was just 0.2 percent according to Department of Labor. … The Fed noted the turn toward nonwage compensation. The survey said that companies seeking workers, rather than baiting their hooks with wage increases, “were increasingly using benefits — such as vacation time, flexible schedules and bonuses — to attract and retain workers, as well as putting more resources into training. For the median worker, benefit compensation has increase 5 percent. With this change, labor costs in net increased compared to last year level.” What would happen in SR and LR equilibrium?

The rand is back as the world’s most volatile major currency, and options pricing suggests it’s not going to lose that status any time soon.A gauge of expected swings over the next six months, based on prices of options to buy and sell the rand, has jumped 175 basis points since the beginning of August to 16.1% on Thursday.Historical volatility climbed 61 basis points to 13.8%, the highest among 16 major developed-nation and emerging-market currencies tracked by Bloomberg.That took the spread of implied over realised volatility to the most in almost a year, as traders hedge against currency fluctuations amid the escalating trade war and concern about South Africa’s fiscal outlook.
