Moderately bearish data and failure for stocks to sharply correct following yesterday’s impressive gains, left bonds and notes vulnerable. Nonetheless, the long bond found support near our mid-118 target and reversed higher.
All else being equal, this would bode well for the 30-year bond in the coming days. However, the technical set-up in the 10-year note is highly suspect. Our analysis suggests that the note could move lower by as much as a handle. If this is the case, bonds will be sure to follow. On the other hand, it could be bonds that lead the market higher….confusing, I know.
For now; we are going to assume that the bonds are leading notes and that the overall price action in the coming days or weeks could be higher overall. That said, we cannot rule out a test of the 118’07 area in the long bond.
In yesterday’s newsletter we boldly predicted a reversal in all of the financial markets (Treasuries, stocks and currencies). Today wasn’t the day, and tomorrow might not be either but we feel like such a scenario could happen by as early as next week.
Yesterday afternoon, our clients were advised to sell puts against a possible Thursday plunge. We recommended to sell the December T-bond 112 and 113 puts for 20 and 26 ticks respectively, or about $312 and $406 before commissions and fees.
