BOND UPDATE SPECIAL : MANY HAVE ASKED OF LATE WHEN DO YIELD “STOP” FALLING AND RSI WISE WE HAVE ZERO NOTABLE DISLOCATIONS.

THE US 5YR IS POISED TO JOIN OTHER PARTS OF THE CURVE AS IT APPROACHES ITS 200 DAY MOVING AVERAGE 0.6139. IT MIGHT BE WORTH REMEBERING BOTH THE US 30YR AND 10YR HELD THEIR 200 DAY MOVING AVERAGES FIRST TIME DOWN.

***CTA’S WILL PERSIST IN BUYING NEW BOND HIGHS ESPECIALLY GIVEN THE RSI DISLOCATIONS ARE LAME. BIG WORRY IS IF BREAKEVENS AND STOCKS FALL! ***

WE HAVE NOW BREACHED THE 200 DAY MOVING AVERAGES ON US 30 AND 10YR SO WE HAVE SIGNALLED THE START OF A VERY VERY “MAJOR” YIELD DROP.

THIS IS CERTAINLY SOMETHING WORTH CONTEMPLATING LOOKING AT THE PREVIOUS OCCAISION THIS HAPPENED. WE ARE CLOSE TO REPLICATING 2018-2019 WHERE ALL CROSSED OVER THUS A SIGNIFICANT QUARTER-CLOSE!

THE LAST TIME THE 50-100-200 DAYS CROSSED WAS INITIATED IN EARLY 2019, THAT DROP DID NOT HALT UNTIL THE MOVING AVERAGES RE-CROSSED IN DECEMBER 2020!

DBR 46 POISED TO BREACH ITS 200 DAY MOVING AVERAGE 163.74.

***BIG QUESTION “REMAINS” IS IF YIELDS FALL SIGNIFICANTLY WHERE DOES THAT LEAVE STOCKS AND BREAKEVENS? BREAKEVENS TECHNICALLY-HISTORICALLY ARE ALSO FAILING ON “RARE” SEEN RSI DISLOCATIONS.***

BOND UPDATE : THE US 30 HAS BREACHED ITS 200 DAY MOVING AVERAGE 1.9724 AGAIN FANNING THE FLAMES FOR LOWER BOND YIELDS ACROSS THE BOARD.

THERE REMAIN A FEW CONFIRMATION LEVELS TO BE BREACHED BUT THEY ARE "VERY" CLOSE, ONCE CONFIRMED THE "DROP" WILL STEP UP A GEAR.

CURVES SHOULD ALSO PERSIST IN TRENDING FLATTER AS MOST MONTHLY RSI ROLLED OVER FROM 2008-1994 DISLOCATIONS.

***BIG QUESTION IS IF YIELDS FALL SIGNIFICANTLY WHERE DOES THAT LEAVE STOCKS AND BREAKEVENS? BREAKEVENS TECHNICALLY-HISTORICALLY ARE ALSO FAILING ON "RARE" SEEN RSI DISLOCATIONS.***

US BOND AND SWAP CURVES CONTINUE TO "SCREAM" FOR A MAJOR FLATTENING GIVEN THE HISTORICAL RSI DISLOCATION. THE OTHER POINTER IS THE 102030 SWAP CURVES CONTINUES TO INDICATE THE 20YR IS "OUT OF LINE" WITH THE WINGS!

UK BREAKEVENS : THESE CONTINUE TO LOOK VERY NEGATIVE GIVEN WE REMAIN “BELOW” ALL 100 DAY MOVING AVERAGES.

OBVIOUSLY NOT THE SAME RSI EXTENSION AS THE US BUT GREAT TECHNICAL FAILURE ON CHART 1, THE UK 30YR.

BOND UPDATE : SINCE THE US 10YR YIELD HELD ITS 200 DAY MOVING AVERAGE IT HAS TAKEN THE “MOMENTUM” OUT OF THE BIGGER YIELD DROP.

FOR THE FIRST TIME IN A WHILE MANY RSI’S HAVE HIT A “VERY” NEUTRAL STATE, ADDITIONALLY CURVES AND US 10-20-30 FLY HAVE HIT MULTI YEAR RETRACEMENTS.

THIS MEANS TECHNICALLY WE ARE AT A DIFFICULT JUNCTURE TO PREDICT THE NEXT FEW WEEKS, THE MOMENTUM AND TREND IS FOR LOWER YIELDS OVERALL BUT THE DRIVERS ARE NOW “NEUTRAL”. THAT SAID ANY NEW YIELD LOWS OR 200 DAY MOVING AVERAGE BREACHES (US 10 AND 30YR) THEN THE TREND REMAINS.

CURVES SHOULD ALSO PERSIST IN TRENDING FLATTER AS MOST MONTHLY RSI ROLLED OVER FROM 2008-1994 DISLOCATIONS.

***BIG QUESTION IS IF YIELDS FALL SIGNIFICANTLY WHERE DOES THAT LEAVE STOCKS AND BREAKEVENS? BREAKEVENS TECHNICALLY-HISTORICALLY ARE ALSO FAILING ON “RARE” SEEN RSI DISLOCATIONS.***

US BOND AND SWAP CURVES CONTINUE TO “SCREAM” FOR A MAJOR FLATTENING GIVEN THE HISTORICAL RSI DISLOCATION. THE OTHER POINTER IS THE 102030 SWAP CURVES CONTINUES TO INDICATE THE 20YR IS “OUT OF LINE” WITH THE WINGS!
