Treasuries accelerating their decline today free falling from already historic oversold conditions on multiple time-frames. Feels pretty broken to me, but that doesn't mean we can't break further. On watch for a true dislocation/break down/panic on further weakness.
Bonds took a dive to break lows and hit our target of 110'05. A green triangle on the KRI confirmed support and we immediately the dip was immediately bought back, and we recovered the range between 110'27 and 111'26. We are currently hugging the upper bound of this range. The move followed yet another hotter than expected CPI print and a slump in retail sales....
The euro, as well as all its correlated currencies and related products, crossed critical support levels a few weeks ago and right now is in a pullback within the mid-term downtrend. The mid- and long-term trend are in phase 4 (bearish), and the RSI on the monthly chart is 23.32, which make it unreasonable to hold it. After our shorts and currency strategies a...
Bonds appear to be gaining strength as yields relax and the US dollar pulls back hard. The Kovach OBV is edging up, but we have resistance confirmed by several red triangles on the KRI at current relative highs. We appear to be seeing a bull wedge forming, in an attempt to break through 113'00. If so, then 113'12 will be the next target. If not, we will find...
Clearly, inflation is a problem and I for one thought the rates rising were overblown after the first hike. (I was very wrong here) With that said, we are likely in the topping process for inflation, pending any new black swan events happen. The indicators show 4 things in regards to this bond. 1. No momentum, 2. Bear market trend 3. below the historical anchored...
The euro is in negative territory today, after posting six straight days of losses. EUR/USD is trading at 0.9553 in Europe, down 0.41%. September can't end fast enough for the euro, which has declined a massive 4.8% against the dollar. Earlier today, EUR/USD fell to 0.9536, its lowest level since June 2002. With the war in Ukraine escalating and Nord Stream...
Bonds have slid further and there is no relief rally insight. The markets were hoping for a 'dovish hike' in the sense that the 75 bps hike would be followed by dovish rhetoric. In fact it was the opposite. Yields have maintained highs pressing prices further down. We are hugging 113'12 and expect support there. If not, we will use Fibonacci extension levels...
I will be buying bullish exposure to 7 and 10 year treasuries as a result of topping out inflation and the fed's aggressive actions to kerep it down.
If we can see tthis begin to come down from here we will see stock continue up and the dollar return down.
Bonds have continued their decline as the markets price in a potentially historic FOMC rate hike this week. Inflation data suggests that the Fed's rate hike trajectory is not really working and inflation is still soaring. On the other hand, multiple indicators suggest that we are in a recession, and the Fed will have to pivot their hawkish stance after this last...
Bonds have picked up slightly edging above 115'29. ZN had teetered about this level, breaking below it yesterday, but finding support. We did make a run for the next level at 116'20, but rejected this level, and found support again at 115'20. There is a stronger chance of a 75bps rate hike, which is pushing up yields. If we fall further, then 115'03 is the next target.
Bonds fell again, hitting our next target at 115'29. Yields are creeping up as the markets are pricing in the next rate hike, expected to be 50-75 bps . Nonfarm payrolls gave us some insight into economic conditions: unemployment rose to 3.7%, with a headline miss and downward revision. This suggests that the economy is weakening further, and we are in a...
Unfortunately, stock markets are where they are, and we cannot force them to move in a particular direction. We see a neutral status at the end of the summer, but this volatility may come back in September. We may see some interesting price action already this week when US will release its important jobs data. Fed watches this data closely, but what’s important is...
10 year notes broke out of the bullish wedge as expected. Bulls have a setup for a large five wave up rally in T-notes (meaning decline in 10 year yield)
Real interest rates will probably start to fall soon because of stagflation. Real interest rates can be measured by subtracting inflation expectations FRED:T10YIE from US treasury yields FRED:DGS10 . Treasury yields will likely fall along with unemployment as measured by initial claims FRED:ICSA . Initials claims has started to slowly rise and when it...
US30 treasuries are hitting a resistance line, 50 MMA and a high RSI and MACD. It seems like a good risk / reward to buy some treasuries here. If the recession is starting it should put a downward pressure on inflation and treasury rates. I will buy some TLT ETF and SPPX ETF.
Ignore all the other charts right now. They are based on DOLLARS. The dollar is permanently unstable and your imperialist overlords are here to take away your spending power. We're due to see bearish action similar to April 5th (pink dot). The question is, will we see a lower high in relative yields, or will we set a higher low and possibly become uninverted, and...
U.S. Treasury yields moved higher on Friday to their highest since July 21 and U.S. stock futures fell by almost 1%, along with similar losses in Europe. The yield on the benchmark 10-year Treasury note was up 8 basis points at 2.967% as the Fed indicated July meeting minutes that it would continue hiking rates until inflation slows down significantly, although...
