Why did I know that bond yields were going to fall?To obtain this information, we need to look at four things:
-Fed Rates: The Federal Reserve's interest rates decisions can have a significant impact on financial markets and the overall economy.
-US5Y (US 5-year Treasury bonds): Yields on US 5-year Treasury bonds are an important measure to assess market expectations for short-term interest rates and investor sentiment regarding the economy.
-US10Y (US 10-year Treasury bonds): Yields on US 10-year Treasury bonds are also a key benchmark to evaluate investor expectations for medium-term interest rates and market risk perception.
-US30Y (US 30-year Treasury bonds): Yields on US 30-year Treasury bonds provide insight into investors' long-term expectations for interest rates and confidence in long-term economic stability.
Monitoring these indicators can provide valuable information about the direction of interest rates, market sentiment, and the overall health of the economy.
If we observe these three together, we can see that the maximum point marked with a red rectangle, the US5Y, is the only one that violated that high. This suggests that the movement in the US5Y was a manipulation (liquidity pool), as none of the other bonds violated the high. Also, the DXY (US Dollar Index) did not violate it and has already created a lower low. This indicates that we can expect the completion of this move in the DXY and a more aggressive decline in bonds.
Us5y
Good day to as any to welcome the next recession- yield curvesThe US5Y looks ready to break above the US10Y rate for bonds , signaling an inversion of the yield curve, the number one precursor to each recession in the US. The 10 year is sitting 3/1000 of a percent higher right now. When they cross I expect the market to turn red today.
The breakout of the US10Y from its cup and handle pattern dating back to June 2019 marked the top of the bull run, and when it backtested and bounced up the selling accelerated. You can learn a lot comparing the US10Y and the SPY or QQQ and how they relate.
Anyways, US10Y killed the bull, maybe now it causes a recession and brings back the bears. Happy trading!
US10Y Yield Poised to ExplodeAfter a strong 7Y YST auction, the US10Y yield just broke out above the 21 day EMA. We're back at 1.615%, and poised to blow up as the week progresses. This recent buying frenzy in bonds may be exhausted, and yields could be poised for a solid spike higher (potentially on Powell remarks about future monetary policy tightening tomorrow). Fed QE bond purchases are still running at $120 Billion per month, so any hint of tapering could send markets into a tailspin. Especially as the Treasury will increase bond supply simultaneously. Don't even mention an increase in the IOER, or banks will close credit lines faster than you can blink...
Real Yield vs. Gold for 10/5Update from the current convergence failing to formulate between the real yield rate and the price of gold for one ounce in $'s.
Total Public Debt as Percent of GDP (All-Time-High) for Aug 13White House Economic Adviser Larry Kudlow has really changed his tone on the scale and sustainability of American debt. Remarks country isn't nearing its borrowing limits. Total Public Debt as Percent of Gross Domestic Product (GFDEGDQ188S) was first constructed by the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis in October 2012.
It is calculated using Federal Government Debt: Total Public Debt (GFDEBTN) and Gross Domestic Product, 1 Decimal (GDP):
GFDEGDQ188S = ((GFDEBTN/1000)/GDP)*100
GFDEBTN/1000 transforms GFDEBTN from millions of dollars to billions of dollars.
Meaningful low set?On the technical side the minimum targets for a Vth wave flattening trend that started since 2011 have been met. This completed sequence show's there is plenty of room to steepen over the coming Quarters.
So far we have seen wave A and B of an incomplete ABC. Well done all those who are riding the 'C' leg with us.
Best of luck to those who are positioned for the next two levels of interest at 116/117. The biggest picture would suggest there is even more upside over time.
