Yesterday's 7-Year auction was an outright failure — the worst grade possible — landing just 18 days before the next FOMC with five of six AC pillars already flashing bearish, including liquidity and the Fed itself. Meanwhile, managed money is sitting at a near-two-year extreme short in Yen, the mirror trade to anyone levered long dollar-funded carry, while GBP longs are historically crowded at the 3rd percentile. If the Treasury market keeps rejecting duration at these levels, the carry unwind in FX becomes the transmission mechanism that makes the crowding in NQ shorts — currently at the 13th percentile — look prescient rather than early.
