BOND UPDATE. Germany has rallied driven by CTA demand. US 5yr has an innoucuous PIERCE that might be SIGNIFICANT SEE page 11. . 22.03.2018.
BONDS UPDATE :
Germany continues to trade well despite the HIGH daily RSI, CTA’s continue to ADD on the trend. The US yields now look to have PEAKED post Mr Powell (see page 11).
The next BIG TRADE is US STEEPENERS : As mentioned before many RSI’s are WAY over sold and the recent POP to the 61.8% rets served to recognise the BIG BREAK level. If we close above any of the 61.8% rets this should TRIGGER a sustained long-term steepening.
1) Yields are close to breaching levels where we will see a MAJOR DROP
2) (US 5yr and UK 10yr). ALL durations are stretched, quarterly, monthly, weekly and daily… this is RARE!
3) Looking at the previous Equity piece, European stocks look a LONGTERM failure thus I firmly believe this mean BONDS rally.
3) Germany 26’s bonds based well as do the FUTURES post yesterdays intraday REVERSAL.
4) UK yields have a LOFTY RSI and UKTI POISED to bounce. UK 10yr all eyes on a continued breach of 1.489 (10yr Gilts).
5) US 10 Breakevens have a LOFTY WEEKLY and DAILY RSI.
6) Nearly ALL US curves rejected the recent steepening BIAS at MAJOR MULTI YEAR 61.8% ret, the RSI’s remain low however. If the 61.8% ret’s are breached we steepen in a BIG WAY.
** US curves will be a BIG trade once the 61.8% retracements are breached. **

Stocks although quiet have steadily been making lows, only niggle is a week remains till month end. Therefore negative performance needs to be maintained!
I am nervous that month end is not upon us but equally happy with the TERMINAL aspect of many quarterly charts.
German and UK bonds are helping the cause given they are posting NEW JUNE highs everywhere. As mentioned I still fancy an old fashioned stocks DOWN bonds UP.

US CURVE SPECIAL.. Curve ALERT, I think we STEEPEN from here and this is a BASE for MANY YEARS.. STOPS CHEAP. 19.03.2018
US CURVE SPECIAL. WE STEEPEN FROM HERE!
They have been on the RADAR for some time given most have MULTI YEAR RSI dislocations and ALL rejected major 61.8% retracements on the latest steepening. It is and will be the trade to be in for the next few years, just hard picking a base lately.
The BIGGEST issue is timing and location to PUT ON THE STEEPENER.
I actually think it’s TIME and most stops are cheap.
It’s also been mentioned it’s a BRAVE call so every reason to have a GO!

EQUITY UPDATE. STOCKS continue to struggle and this NEEDS to persist daily, into monthend. LONGTERM charts remain OVER STRETCHED. ..19.03.2018
Stocks remain QUIET but that said they lack any kind of BOUNCE, especially in EUROPE.
I am nervous that month end is not upon us but equally happy with the TERMINAL aspect of many quarterly charts.
German and UK bonds are helping the cause given they are posting NEW JUNE highs everywhere. As mentioned I still fancy an old fashioned stocks DOWN bonds UP.

BOND UPDATE. Germany has rallied driven by CTA demand. The US has BASED on SUPPLY. 16.03.2018.
BONDS UPDATE :
Germany has traded well this week once Schatz initiated a new high earlier in the week, since then CTA’s have added Bobl and Bunds. Gilts FINALLY followed suit by breaching the 1.489 trend line. This will KICK START many of the WEEKLY and MONTHLY RSI dislocations.
The next BIG TRADE is US STEEPENERS : As mentioned before many RSI’s are WAY over sold and the recent POP to the 61.8% rets served to recognise the BIG BREAK level. If we close above any of the 61.8% rets this should TRIGGER a sustained long-term steepening.
1) Yields are close to breaching levels where we will see a MAJOR DROP
2) (US 5yr and UK 10yr). ALL durations are stretched, quarterly, monthly, weekly and daily… this is RARE!
3) Looking at the previous Equity piece, European stocks look a LONGTERM failure thus I firmly believe this mean BONDS rally.
3) Germany 26’s bonds based well as do the FUTURES post yesterdays intraday REVERSAL.
4) UK yields have a LOFTY RSI and UKTI POISED to bounce. UK 10yr all eyes on a continued breach of 1.489 (10yr Gilts).
5) US 10 Breakevens have a LOFTY WEEKLY and DAILY RSI.
6) Nearly ALL US curves rejected the recent steepening BIAS at MAJOR MULTI YEAR 61.8% ret, the RSI’s remain low however. If the 61.8% ret’s are breached we steepen in a BIG WAY.
** US curves will be a BIG trade once the 61.8% retracements are breached. **

EQUITY UPDATE.... As stocks are a MAJOR ingredient in my “SPECIAL PIECE”, TODAY NEEDS weak CLOSES...15.03.2018
Apologies for yet another update BUT today is a major day for stocks to FAIL, all helping the SPECIAL REPORT piece yesterday.
As stocks are a MAJOR ingredient in my “SPECIAL PIECE”, TODAY
NEEDS weak CLOSES!
I am nervous that month end is not upon us but equally happy with the TERMINAL aspect of many quarterly charts. We just need to allay any fears today.
German and UK bonds are helping the cause given they are posting NEW JUNE highs everywhere. As mentioned I still fancy an old fashioned stocks DOWN bonds UP.

SPECIAL REPORT MAJOR POSITION OPPORTUNITIES for the NEXT 2-3 YEARS!
• I have sent a lot of updates lately as I believe we are at levels that will formulate 2 to 3 year opportunities.
• I have also had numerous discussions about these opportunities and many agree something BIG is looming. They personally are struggling with the catalyst.
• Hopefully a more simplified selection of the RARE CHART DISLOACATIONS will help portray the TECHNICAL opportunities.
• I will be more than happy to discuss and ways to implement the VIEWS.
• Whilst compiling this I noticed the relevance of 200 period MOVING AVERAGE on monthly horizons.
BOND MARKETS
• The US is the PROMINENT set of charts in this space with 5yr and Curves taking precedent.
• US 5yr yield expectations are historically stretched. NUMEROUS times we have seen yields DROP from this RSI dislocation!
• US curves are basing for a MAJOR steepening that could last for many years.
US CURVES
• US curves have been a great flattening trade for many but that CYCLE looks about to change and I suggest it coincides nicely with the 5yr EXTREME.
• So many of the charts portray an oversold scenario and a TARGET 61.8% ret to breach.
• Each chart has its merits but all VERY similar MULTI YEAR DISLOCATION.
STRONGER USD
It has been suggested that if I technically like US yields LOWER then the USD should rally.
• The next series of charts do hint that and USDCAD has already made a decision already.
EQUITIES
• This is the most difficult subject of all to discuss without raising peoples pulse rate. Everyone still wants to “BUY THE DIP” BUT some quarterly European charts are TERMINAL!
• The US continues to grind higher but the over stretch is wrong.
• European equities could have a good old fashion “washout”. I am old enough to remember bonds UP stocks DOWN.
• **It hasn’t been talked about but many European stock markets have made NEW LOWS already. A negative situation indeed.**

Equitie UPDATE.. European daily charts are TREADING WATER whilst the US has rallied. I feel ALL STOCKS HEAD LOWER and hopefully that starts TODAY..12.03.2018
• European daily charts are TREADING WATER whilst the US has rallied. I feel ALL STOCKS HEAD LOWER and hopefully that starts TODAY.
• A VERY MIXED BAG of charts, HOWEVER some QUARTERLY EUROPEANS are TERMINAL , CAC, FTSE and especially DAX.
MANY bounces have been VERY LAME.
• US stocks remain the most over bought and many have recovered MORE than 200% of the 2008-2009 correction.
• The DOW and S&P have major RSI dislocations spread across monthly, weekly and daily durations! This is a DANGEROUS combination.
• Some RSI’s surpass 1950 and 1980 levels.
• US stocks highlight the most CONCERN.
• ** HAPPY TO DISCUSS ANY CHARTS **
