Treasury Bond ETFs Are Losing Support from Asian Buyers
The U.S. Treasury market has been propped up by willing foreign buyers, but Asian demand has diminished, potentially pushing up yields and pressuring Treasuries and related exchange traded funds. While rising interest rates may be a primary driver to the 3.5% decline in the iShares 7-10 Year Treasury Bond ETF (IEF) and 9.7% drop in the iShares 20+ Year Treasury Bond ETF (TLT) year-to-date, the diminished demand from foreign investors may further weaken the Treasury bond outlook. As the Treasury Department preps to sell $1.3 trillion in new debt for the upcoming fiscal year, the government may find less willing buyers.

The Name of the Game Is Protecting Capital Again
The bulls had a boost at the open on news that President Trump was preparing a plan to resolve some of the issues with China on trade but this is obviously very early and very tentative so early excitement may not be warranted. There is interest in more individual stock picking but not when many stocks have already had huge bounces in the last couple days. One of the most worrisome signs of problems is that Apple is not bouncing very well.

Will October US Jobs Report Add to Investors’ Worries?
The Department of Labor is scheduled to release October data on US (VTI) employment on November 2. For the past few months, financial markets have been reacting sharply to the US jobs report numbers. Plus, the markets have been especially jittery lately due to interest rate hike fears, and the job numbers can give clues about the Fed’s future monetary policy. Therefore, investors should understand the expectations for the report before the actual numbers come out. The October jobs report could be important data for the Fed to consider before its December policy meeting, where the committee is expected to raise rates (TLT) by another 25 basis points in addition to the three hikes it already made in 2018.

In 2019, earnings are expected to grow 10% compared to the expected growth of 23% in 2018. While there was already a steep growth decline, investors are concerned about whether companies will be able to reach this level.

Treasury Bond ETFs Shouldn’t Count on Support from Foreign Investors
Treasury bonds and related exchange traded funds have enjoyed a long rally as low interest rates abroad brought foreign buyers into relatively more attractive U.S. government debt. While rising interest rates may be a primary driver to the 3.6% decline in the iShares 7-10 Year Treasury Bond ETF (IEF) and 8.7% drop in the iShares 20+ Year Treasury Bond ETF (TLT) year-to-date, the diminished demand from foreign investors may further weaken the Treasury bond outlook. Overseas investors, traders and central bankers only increased their holdings of Treasuries by $78 billion in the first eight months of 2018, or over half of what they bought during the same period last year, the Wall Street Journal reports.
