Moooooorning!

Just ran PCA on EGB bond yields for the last 120 trading days

Conclusions

1. unsurprisingly we're seeing  10y Btps rich – using the jun32 for more data
2. French 5 yrs – although we don't have enough data for it the more recent Frtr feb28 is probably great value
3. Dutch Curve 9s30s looks like a flattener in the context of other things

Trades

1. I have some sympathy with fading the rally in btps of late

Am gonna take a look at -btps 10y into French 5y but try hedge out:

1. Delta, both outright and curve
2. Credit

2. Looks like buying 5y France vs paying 10yrs could also be a soft , but similar trade

Ill post the results, just need to generate the factor sensitivities for these bonds

**SPECIAL CPI PRESENTATION** : CPI FIGURES CONTINUE TO “RISE” BUT ARE WE CLOSE TO A “TOP” YET..UK LINKERS MAYBE BASING.

CANADIAN CPI NUDGES HIGHER POPPING THROUGH ITS TREND RESISTANCE, LIKE MANY THE “RSI” REMAINS EXTENDED AND WRONG!

WE ARE GETTING CLOSE TO SOME MAJOR MULTI-YEAR RETRACEMENTS, NOTEABLY THE UK WANNING AT THE MULTI YEAR RETRACEMENT AT 9.29.

UK LINKERS “MIGHT” JUST OF FOUND A LOW!

PREVIOUSLY :

THE QUESTION IS HOW MUCH LONGER BEFORE BREAKEVENS “FORM” THOSE LONG-TERM TOPS!

THIS 2008 THEME CONTINUES TO RE-OCCUR AND THE ASSOCIATED BREAKEVENS ARE TECHNICALLY FORMING “LIFETIME” HIGHS.

I HAVE ALSO INCLUDED THEIR 30YR BREAKEVENS FOR MOST COUNTRIES.
