Markets are focused on three topics this week: (i) The 4Q 2019 Earnings season, (ii) coronavirus spillover concerns and (iii) Sanders performance in Caucuses. In US Yields the picture is crystal clear on the Long-term chart, for those following the 1.50% support level we are tracking on the daily you will note where the strength in defence comes from in the medium...
A quick update that I will try to keep relatively short for those charting the US10Y we have important updates after markets struggled to shake off risks from China. The support in Yields is starting to form a bullish basing pattern, although the medium term structure is weaker the immediate horizon looks strong and stable above the 1.50 line in the sand.

A timely update to the 10yr US Bond Yields chart as we enter into NFP territory. I am still expecting to see further upside with a strong bid in 1H20. Targeting the 38.2% retracement which coincides with the cluster of macro stops makes sense.
We come up against the last case in variation for the move, erroneously described as a surrender. To put simply...
For those tracking the latest round of Fixed Income chart updates we have the final leg to the stool ahead right on time for NY. You will notice that on the back-end of the curve there is loud messages of a meaningful top being placed. The technical breakdown is indicating that we have another round of flattening towards key support at 32bps.
For the Chartpack...
A rather quick update here as markets find a floor rate differentials as widely anticipated. It is no surprises for those following the chart previously:
For the technicals, those with a background in waves will know this is a textbook example of an ABC correction after a 5 wave sequence;
Things are a lot clearer in the FX board as we begin the flows in...
A timely update to the US10Y Yield chart as we breakout with November highs in scope. We will not be covering US fundamentals here today and instead will focus on key technicals in play.
For the flows in our map for today and the rest of 2019 we have the key levels in play (highly recommend adding all to charts):
Steel Support => 1.65
Strong Support =>...
A very interesting chart today looking at a Generic US 10Y Yield curve in comparison with Banks vs Utilities ... despite the rising correlation Utilities continue to look expensive and risks are elevated relative to banks.
This chart is showing the correlation or asset classes to US10Y moves. The pattern is consistent across the board for Banks which look...
Here a very technical chart with lots of magical trend lines, very clean and easy to follow; a break above the descending trendline to the topside @ 1.85 will negate the long-term downtrend that has been in place.
It will expose the September highs at 1.907 and 1.937 respectively. Price will lead sentiment and therefore a break to the topside will imply a round...
With Yields miles ahead of the moves lately we are approaching a major breakout in US banks, a relative breakout here of the downtrend will be significant going into year-end.
BKX breaking out will be quite a bullish set-up for the overall market:
The major top in USD will help a lot here as we enter into the next chapter in the economic cycle... highly...
As we enter into the final Q, a good time to update the US10Y chart. Those following the previous updates are well aware that we have been tracking the entire leg down:
We got the zigzag at the lows as widely anticipated and with the technicals are starting to point higher I look for any signs of a base forming. While my bias is for lower global yields it is...
Huge move down starting late '18 to early Sep '19 (from 3.25% to 1.43%). Whist overall the US 10 yr yield will likely fall over time, a short term retracement bounce to 1.86%, then possibly 2.125%.
Here we go for Jackson … Fed policy is what matters this weekend and in my books markets are headed for a bearish surprise. The inverted curve is going to create a USD shortage and keep USD higher which will undermine risk assets. Fed funds are now pricing almost 100 bps of cuts by Sept 2020, though Fed talking heads are saying there is no urgency to move again....
Tracking a break of the channel here; yields are beginning to test and all it will take for us to see a clean sweep is a daily close below. Eyes on 1.80 and 1.65 with a break; whilst to the topside a bulls need to take 2.654 to change the current direction.
For the map a very clear: Strong support 1.65 <=> Soft support 1.80 <=> Mid point 1.95 <=> Soft...
Here we are tracking the soft floor coming in Yields once more. We have been in perfect sync with the previous legs down ahead of the Fed cut fact, now it is time once more to trade the expectation of another 25bp cut, this time in September with Trump and markets trying to force the Powell hand again.
The topside of the channel will attract a lot of buying...
As time passes this looks more and more like a 5 wave decline since the October 2018 highs. We are cooking for one final sweep of the lows as liquidity begins to fade for summer. The final hurdle to clear before business will close is Fed, here tracking for a 50bp cut to kickstart the easing cycle.
On the technical side; the market will have to break above...
Here tracking a 5th and final leg lower in US yields. The selloff since November 2018 has looked impulsive in nature, since we marked a 4th wave the bounce from the latest lows, the bounce has met the ABC corrective target at 2.141%. We are also capped below the 38.2% and the 50MA for those trading the 'tactical rebound into Fed'. We 'know' the price wont run...
From a technical perspective the spread US/German spread differentials have looked corrective since Q418. In what is a textbook example of Elliot Wave in action, the spread completed a 5 wave sequence at the highs in November 2018. The retrace held 38.2% of the move, forming a Wave B and opening up room for Wave C to reach 2.179bps.
We are in entering strong...
Here we are tracking for a tactical rebound as we go into July Fed to 50-day.
The rebound in payrolls last Friday is weighing on market expectations for a 50bps rate cut this month. The repricing we’ve seen is closer in nature to a 25bp cut and with the short-circuit in expectations it is “loading time” again for risk-off assets.
Given the circumstances a 50bps...
