BREAKEVENS COULD BE POISED TO TOP OUT.

COMMODITIES : VERY LITTLE GROUND HAS BEEN GIVEN BACK ON LAST YEARS RALLY WITH GOLD REMAINING IN VERY POSITIVE TERRITORY.

EQUITIES : STOCKS ARE LIKELY TO GAP OPEN THIS AFTERNOON AND INITIATE A SIZEABLE REVERSAL GIVEN THE OVER BOUGHT STATE OF MANY.

 

**A LOT DEPENDS ON STOCKS AS I THINK WE NEED THEM FOR FURTHER BOND YIELD FALLS**

WE ARE ON OUR WAY TO MUCH LOWER BOND YIELDS!

BOND YIELDS CONTINUE TO GRIND LOWER REPLICATING THE MOVE OF 2011-2012 AS WE APPROACH MONTH END, THIS WITHOUT EQUITY HELP. MANY STOCKS REMAIN IN A VERY OVER BOUGHT STATE. A KEY RUN INTO MONTH END.

  1. BOND YIELDS LOWER? YIELDS CONTINUE TO GRIND LOWER WITH GERMANY BREACHING MAJOR LEVELS, TIME TO REPLICATE THE 2011-2012 SCENARIO.

  1. COMMODITES HIGHER. GOLD HAS BROKEN THE RECENT HIGHS AND REMAINS A FIRM FAVOURITE AS AN INSURANCE POLICY FOR ESCALATING TENSIONS.

BONDS :

THERE ARE MANY KEY CHARTS TO BACK UP THE REPLICATION OF THE 2011-2012 YIELD SCENARIO ESPECIALLY IN THE US, WHILST GERMANY BREACHED BACK INTO THE LONGTERM DOWNTREND YIELD CHANNEL. ADDITIONALLY THE DBR 46’S HAVE BREACHED THEIR SIGNIFICANT MOVING AVERAGE.

US BREAKEVENS AND USGGT :

BREAKEVENS COULD BE POISED TO TOP OUT.

COMMODITIES : VERY LITTLE GROUND HAS BEEN GIVEN BACK ON LAST YEARS RALLY WITH GOLD REMAINING IN VERY POSITIVE TERRITORY.

EQUITIES : NOT TOO SURE WHY BUT IT DOES NOW FEEL MANY STOCK RALLIES HAVE GONE TOO FAR. EXAMPLES ARE UNITED TECHNOLOGY AND APPLE, BOTH IN OVER BOUGHT TERRITORY.

** FOLLOW UP ** CHART IMPRESSIONS POST MR TRUMPS ACTIONS AS WE AWAIT THE IRANIAN REPRISALS : THERE ISNT GOING TO BE AN EASY SHORT-TERM FIX.

** FOLLOW UP ** CHART IMPRESSIONS POST MR TRUMPS ACTIONS AS WE AWAIT THE IRANIAN REPRISALS : THERE ISNT GOING TO BE AN EASY SHORT-TERM FIX.

BOND YIELDS LOWER?

****BOND PERFORMANCE TODAY HAS FORMED MAJOR SIMILARITIES TO THAT OF 2011-2012 I.E. LOWER IN YIELD, INITIATING THE NEXT LEG. ****

  1. YIELDS OPENED LOWER BUT STEADILY GIVEN BACK FROM THE INITIAL MOVE, WE DO NEED TO SEE YIELD CONTINUE LOWER AGAIN TO ENABLE THE MARKET TO REPLICATE THE 2011-2012 SCENARIO.

 

  1. COMMODITES HIGHER. GOLD HAS BROKEN THE RECENT HIGHS AND REMAINS A FIRM FAVOURITE AS AN INSURANCE POLICY FOR ESCALATING TENSIONS.

DESPITE LACKING FRESH NEWS-ACTIONS FROM IRAN BOND YIELDS HAVE PRINTED NEW YIELD LOWS WHILST GOLD HAS POPPED, SHOULD STOCKS WEAKEN THEN THE 2011-2012 SITUATION WILL PAN OUT NICELY.

** THE ONLY REQUIREMENT IS THAT BOND YIELDS CONTINUE WEAKER TOMORROW.**

BONDS :

THERE ARE MANY KEY CHARTS TO BACK UP THE REPLICATION OF THE 2011-2012 SCENARIO ESPECIALLY IN THE US, WHILST GERMANY IS SET TO RE-ENTER THE LONGTERM DOWNTREND CHANNEL.

US BREAKEVENS AND USGGT :

BREAKEVENS COULD BE POISED TO TOP OUT.

COMMODITIES : VERY LITTLE GROUND HAS BEEN GIVEN BACK ON LAST YEARS RALLY WITH GOLD REMAINING IN VERY POSITIVE TERRITORY.

EQUITIES : THESE COULD OFFER SO MUCH TO THE BOND ARGUMENT BUT AS YET HAVE NOT, THAT SAID IRAN WONT TAKE LONG TO REPLY TO MR TRUMP AM SURE.
