Yields

Are Treasury Yields Bottoming?It appears that 10's are coiling up with two potential trendlines to watch (converging orange lines on the chart). Since failing just under 1.70 three weeks ago the latest trend has been down despite a more hawkish Fed and rising 2-year yields. This has led to dramatic flattening across the curve before the latest FOMC meeting. Ahead of Wednesday's announcement, US breakeven rates had fallen to 2 month lows, suggesting since the final stimulus plan was signed in late November that expectations for future inflation could finally be in the process of being addressed. Even after the Fed's meeting, breakevens still seemingly believe that Powell & company are about to embark on a tightening cycle next year with 3 hikes being currently priced by the market for 2022. Although, breakevens still look to go lower, the latest price-action suggests they could be on the verge of starting to stabilize. And ​10's too may be attempting to bottom-out as well. For that to happen, however, 10's have to hold the 1.39/1.40 area before turning attention towards the downward sloping trendline ahead of the 20-day moving average. Moreover, with the latest stabilization in the persistent curve flattening trend could also be suggesting more stable rates at the long end of the curve. The one factor to watch that could delay a possible move-up in US yields is covid pandemic, which has unleashed severe year-end profit-taking in the highest performing stocks and overall burdened equity markets around the world.

Fade the rally in yields: What is the bond market telling us?We stand at a crossroad. First, market conditions mirror the global economy in 2018. Back then, the FED was getting to raising rates when the Eurodollar curve inverted. Flattening US bond rates too indicated that economic growth in 2019-2020 would would slow. Now, the FED is expected to be aggressive on asset purchases taper in next week's meeting. Three rate hikes have been priced in the markets with the first rate hike in May 2022. A ghost from the past - inverted Eurodollars & flattening US bond yields - is back to haunt the markets. This implies growth is expected to slow down at least during the next two years. It is important to notice the bounce in US yields should be used to fade out of equity positions in the recent rally and into bond positions across the curve. Buy long-term, sell short-term durations. Bond volatility has soared I think the past two weeks indicating that something heavy is brewing under the surface.

US10Year YieldIn my most novice opinion, the correlation of the the yield to SPY correlation has been off a bit due to a mix of tax sell offs and maybe some Omicron fear. However, although we are in a area in opinion, we should still be careful and watch how the correlation moves as we close out the end of 2021 and as we head into next year. GDP growth is slow but has been steadily recovering. Now it's a battle between new fear and prior recovery boost. It's been a movie. Let's see what happens!

Switching up my approach. We all know when bonds rise, yields fall. When bonds fall, yields rise. Think about this when reading this chart. Good luck to the HODL! Feel free to follow or simply keep up. I'm working on getting better always so bare with me. We all know what kind of journey this is! Would love your support!

Global bonds rout put central banks on the spot What a crazy market,” said Priya Misra, global head of rates strategy at TD Securities. “The 20s-30s curve is just reflecting the overall flattening theme in the market -- where central banks are forced to respond to inflation, which slows growth significantly.” Yield-curve flattening has gained momentum across global bond markets this week as traders scrambled to price in more aggressive central-bank actions to fend off inflation. The Bank of Canada surprised investors Wednesday by abruptly ending its bond-buying stimulus program and accelerated the potential timing of future interest rate increases; the Canadian yield curve flattened sharply in response. While declining oil prices account for some of the pullback in breakevens, “profit-taking after a very strong run over the past several weeks” was also a likely factor, said Michael Pond, head of inflation market strategy at Barclays Capital Inc. “We might be seeing de-risking ahead of the Fed,” which has been mindful of inflation expectations and doesn’t want to appear to be behind the curve, Pond said.

Bond market volatility rocks the EuroData released Thursday showed that U.S. GDP growth slowed sharply to a 2% annualized rate in the third quarter. Meanwhile, investors continued to price in rate increases by the European Central Bank, while dismissing President Christine Lagarde’s effort to push back against such expectations. Market expectations of higher interest rates has brought out bears, with Danske Bank strategists expecting the euro to fall to $1.10 over the next 12 months.

10 Year Treasury Yields on track to reaching a minimum of 1.77Back in August I posted a Descending Broadening Wedge setup where we were at a potential bottom and today it would seem that we have successfully broken out of said wedge and back tested as support and are looking to finish the measure move that will take us to a minimum target of 1.77. If you look on a timeframe like the weekly we have potential to go all the way up to 2.5 if we break above 1.77 but i wont go into charting that yet until we begin to.

USDJPY Breaking Out Of A Triangle USDJPY finally breaks out of a triangle as both SP and US yields rally. Keep in mind that higher Yields are positive for the currency, while risk-on means depreciation of JPY, especially now when BOJ is not ready to take any action on interest rates. Based on their recent statement, they will most likely maintain stimulus in the next few years. Technically I expect USDJPY to see more upside after a completed triangle, so looking for a retest of the 2021, maybe even 2020 highs. JPY crosses are also looking interesting, GBPJPY in particular.

TNX Heading Higher?Not really sure what to make of this just yet, but the 10Y yield definitely appears to be heading higher. Ironically enough, this is happening amid a #fed that is committed (at least in the near term) to maintaining low interest rates. My guess is the Fed knows rates will rise on their own, thereby creating a competitive environment among lenders. We will continue to watch this one; for now it looks like we are heading to test 1.75 - 1.77. Neither long, nor short for now. Let's just observe.

TLT - 150 Puts - ZN 133.125 TLT continues to Wedge out into the Break Down. Althought the Yield Curve appears to be heading into an inversion into 2022, the Long End of the Curve remains in peril... Countdown to Depression is ticking into Q2-Q3 2022. Fed language and statements are beginning to shift into 2022 indicating they are off balance NOW. Volaility will increase well ahead of the Fed's change in stance. We anticipate a pullback in the VIX Curve into Settlement providing cover for today's Squeeze in the Index Instruments. AAPL and Tesla have been used to provide adjustments to both the ES and NQ, These will be transitory... as Q3 EPS warnigns need a distraction... China incidently decided on MOnday - "there is too much completition in EV's within China" Adios Tesla, Giga Berlin and Texas will have to manage... China closing the doors on Tesla. Confidence will have the intended influence on the Bond Markets, for now it's game on into completion of the Wedge in 10Yr Yields. Risk off dead ahead. There is no recovery in the Economy, rather there are increasingly dangerous issues which will begin to manifest shortly. We will be continuuing to Build Out a Large Put Position in TSLA, APPL, ARKK, AMC. Crypto Scam LiteCoin took the short WalMArt CON to undermine confidence in the space. A 20% decline in LC took chasers downtown in mere seconds. Crimnal Fraud in the Space is an operating axiom.

ZN - 10 Yr Note - Continued Move to Higher Yields - ZN TLT ZBTLT is beginning it's terminal phase for the next decline. We Sold to Open TLT this morning, taking our First Position at our Target, with further Sells to 150s Set. Out dated Maturities, we have been suggesting for the past month are due for a large correction in Yields. Day to day noise is just that... Noise. Bond HODLers are convinced they have it figured out. They clearly do not or they would not be supporting an enterprise steeped in criminal activity. 3 Fed Members have now been admitted to Front Running Markets for their own Benefit. CONfidence inspiring.

10-year Gilts 1-day classic patternsQ: What has the highest probability of occurring? Since early July there have been 4 tests of 132.000 resistance. There is a combination of 2 classic patterns forming at resistance. The double top, where both tops have been rejected at 132.000, is currently valid. The head and shoulders, the head consisting of the double top, would need to break the neckline ~129.750 to become valid. Both patterns equally project 128.250 as the target. Objectively looking at the entire base beginning around the high volume bar in February it is curve-like. Looking to the weekly timeframe it is quite possible this is the formation of a cup with the handle to follow. So there is some conflict in this area which can lead to a large number of market participants getting it wrong and as a consequence more momentum. It is quite probable that market participants have already shorted the double top breakout. Waiting for the head and shoulders to confirm with an ~129.750 neckline breakout before entry is advantageous. Stop placement above what appears to be a right shoulder at ~130.750 yields a 1.5R target. It would also be beneficial to visualise the 1-week handle as a means of guarding against the 1-day head and shoulder pattern failure.
