***BOND UPDATE : ONE MORE MONTH OF LOWER YIELDS TO COME! ***

BOND UPDATE : ONE MORE MONTH OF LOWER YIELDS TO COME!

LOOKS LIKE WE HAVE ONE MORE MONTH OF EXTENDED YIELD DROP, THEN WE FINALLY BASE. (SEE PAGE 2).

EVEN I, WHO HAS BEEN ADVOCATING LOWER YIELDS MIGHT THINK THINGS HAVE GONE TOO FAR. HOWEVER, THIS STATEMENT DOESN’T MAKE SENSE GIVEN, STOCKS ARE ONLY JUST BREAKING AND DAILY FUTURES POST NEW HIGHS. GIVE IT A MONTH.

CHART 1 THE US 30YR YIELD MONTHLY PREDICTS ANOTHER MONTH REPLICATING THIS AUGUSTS RANGE, THEN THE LOWS IN, OH WHAT A WORRY!

THE OTHER ISSUE IS AS LONG AS FUTURES POST NEW HIGHS CTA’S WILL BUY. BASICALLY THE NAME OF THE GAMES REMAINS TAKING PROFITS NOT RELINQUISHING LONGS.

Gilts-£2bn 1t2049s on Offer-Cheap Area-Highest Yd-SONIA + low 50s!!

The clock is ticking towards the tap of £2bn 1t49s as Global bond yields continue to fall with 30yr Bund@-15bps & an IPE article yesterday pointing out next year Pension benefits could be cut by 3% so with the UK leaving the EU on or before the 31st October there could be some European interest in this relatively cheap high quality paper. Enough rambling on the curve the cheapest issue & vs SONIA you can get +low 50s & with the imminent change to the over 15 year index as £37bn 4h34s fall out we are a few weeks from an extension of 0.6 of a year & the £15.21bn APF re-investments starting so a move from 34s to 49s could provide good returns.

 

The other expression we like is selling the 1t37s & 1t57s into either the old 30yr 1h47s or 1t49s in this liquidity event....

 

1t37-1h47/1t57s chart below longer history & at the peak of cheapness..

 

Entry +20.6bps or better.

 

Target-+16bps

Stop +22.

MULTI ASSET UPDATE : BOND YIELDS CONTINUE TO FALL DESPITE SOME SIZEABLE MONTHLY RANGES AND OVERSOLD RSI’s. EQUITIES ARE POISED TO BECOME THE MAIN MARKET DRIVER GIVEN THEIR WEAK RECOVERY ON THE LATEST DIP. ONE TO WATCH IS THE HANG SENG, TESTING A MAJOR MULTI YEAR 38.2% RET 25601.22.

 

BOND UPDATE : MARKETS REMAIN IN A HEIGHTENED STATE.

WE CONTINUE TO SEE YIELDS TREND LOWER WHILST SEVERAL EXTENDED RSI’S ARE CALLING FOR A YIELD BOUNCE. THE BASIC PROBLEM IS WHOS LEFT TO CHALLENGE THE ESTABLISHED TREND.

EQUITIES : THESE WILL BE THE BIG DRIVER GOING FORWARD, CERTAINLY IF THEY FAIL AS ANTICIPATED. ASIDE THE TRADE DEAL THE HANG SENG IS STRUGGLING, POISED FOR A VERY SIGNIIFCANT BREACH OF THE MULTI YEAR RETRACEMENT. MANY SINGLE STOCKS ARE “DAMAGED GOODS”.

** SO MANY RSI’S MATCH DECEMBER 2018 BUT “BOUNCES” CERTAINLY ARE NOT. **

US CURVES : THEY CONTINUE TO FRUSTRATE AND AS MENTIONED BEFORE WOULD REMAIN FLAT.

FX : THE EURO REMAINS ON WATCH AS IT PERSISTS IN FAILING A RELIABLE MOVING AVERAGE 1.1295.

OIL and GOLD : OIL REMAINS VERY RANGE BOUND.

Gold continues to be the safe haven AND HAS WORKED OFF ITS over bought state.

EQUITIES : ANOTHER PROBLEM MARKET.

EQUITIES : ANOTHER PROBLEM MARKET.

ON THE ONE HAND US MARKETS LOOK TO HAVE BASED AND POISED TO SOAR WHILST EUROPE AND CHINA REMAIN THE LAME DUCK!

MANY MONTHLY CHARTS NOW HIGHLIGHT THE WORRYING IMPLICATIONS IF SUPPORT FAILS.

It has been a tortuous few days for many but as highlighted previously it may just be the start. Conveniently we have held NUMEROUS 200 day moving averages so if breached its free fall time.

** EVERYTHING HINGES ON MR TRUMP! **

Asia obviously has more issues and it has failed ALL moving averages in most cases.

The HANG SENG is sitting on VITAL retracement support, should it be breached its meltdown time!

*** SINGLE STOCKS REMAIN HEAVY ***

BOND UPDATE : MARKETS REMAIN IN A HEIGHTENED STATE.

BOND UPDATE : MARKETS REMAIN IN A HEIGHTENED STATE.

WE REMAIN CLOSE TO RECENT TRENDING YIELD LOWS YET SEVERAL EXTENDED RSI’S ARE CALLING FOR A YIELD BOUNCE, A VERY MIXED PICTURE!

ONE RELIABLE BOND IS POISED FOR A PULL BACK, THE DBR 46’S (page 18).

TOUGH CALL HERE, WE HAVE ENORMOUS RANGES THIS MONTH, TRENDING MARKETS, RSI EXTENSIONS AND A RATTLED CHINA-TRUMP TRADE DEAL. AVOID TOO MUCH WEEKEND EXPOSURE.

YIELDS DO LOOK TO OF COME ALONG WAY BUT GIVEN TRADE TENSIONS REMAIN THAT FUELS THE ARGUMENT FOR LOWER STOCKS-YIELDS.

SUGGESTION IS TAKE PROFITS ON ANY LONG BOND POSITIONING BUT BE WILLING TO

RE PURCHASE NEW HIGHS SHOULD STOCKS FAIL.

WE HAVE ALSO GENERATED A HUGE AMOUNT OF VOLATILITY IN THE FIRST 9 DAYS OF THIS MONTH.

** PLEASE READ ** MULTI ASSET UPDATE A SHORT-TERM TURNING POINT IN BONDS... BOND YIELDS POSTED MAJOR DOWNSIDE PIERCES AND THUS EXIT MOST BOND LONGS.

MULTI ASSET UPDATE : A SHORT-TERM TURNING POINT IN BONDS.

BOND YIELDS POSTED MAJOR DOWNSIDE PIERCES AND THUS EXIT MOST BOND LONGS. I WAS OFF YESTERDAY AND THUS MISSED THE BOND YIELD LOWS, THIS WHILST STOCKS HELD THEIR 200 DAY MOVING AVERAGES.

A BOND “TURNING POINT” BUT LONGEVITY OF WHICH IS VERY QUESTIONABLE. IF MR TRUMP PERSISTS WITH HEIGHTING TRADE ISSUES. DON’T BE AFRAID TO EXIT BOND LONG GIVEN ONE CAN ALWAYS BUT NEW BOND HIGHS, JUST FEEL WE HAVE MOVED TOO FAR TOO FAST!

BONDS : WE NOW HAVE ABNORMAL RANGES FOR THIS EARLY IN THE MONTH SO UNLESS STOCKS BREAK LOWER YIELDS SHOULD RECOVER. THE DBR 46’S RELIABLY FORCAST A YIELD LOW, SIMILAR TO THE 10 YR GILT .

EQUITIES : WE CONTINUE TO HOLD NUMEROUS KEY 200 DAY MOVING AVERAGES BUT ONE WRONG WORD FROM MR TRUMP AND ITS “ALL CHANGE”. EUROPE STILL REMAINS LESS OF A BARGAIN THAN THE US.

US CURVES : THEY CONTINUE TO FRUSTRATE AND AS MENTIONED BEFORE WOULD REMAIN FLAT.

FX : A MIXED BAG BUT ONE WHERE THE DXY LOOKS TO BE FAILING. USD-EM THE NEXT FEW DAYS ARE KEY AS MANY DAILY CHARTS ARE VERY OVERBOUGHT.

OIL and GOLD : OIL IS VERY SIDEWAYS WHILST GOLD REMAINS THE SAFE HAVEN.
