LQD, A Leading Indicator for Equities 

iShares iBoxx $ Investment Grade Corporate Bond ETFArca

Description

LQD is an ETF that tracks investment grade corporate bonds.
ishares.com/us/products/239566/ishares-iboxx-investment-grade-corporate-bond-etf

In this study I compare the LQD with SPY that tracks S&P 500 index. Upon review of turning points one can conclude that the corporate bonds start to go down first and recover first hinting the broader market direction.

The LQD is close to its resistance and it is trending in a steep channel up. A rejection from that resistance would be a warning sign for equities. Something to watch and infer for investing ideas.

@SviCapital,

The great fund manager for Citadel, Ken Griffin
made his name in the market,
just prior to 1987 market crash in a corparate bonds hedge.

He was just on Bloomberg Television this weekend,
in a fascinating interview.

I think you are onto something very important here.
Thank you very much for the illumination !
