Anybody else short US 30 Bond

achievement? wtf does that mean?

pardon my language.

 

It means the target achieved, the contact with the 10years moving average.

 

So to be clear, you believe this move above the 200 week moving average of the 10 yr is the top for rates?

 

I think that exceeding certain levels (see 4.25% on TBond) would reverse a downward trend in interest rates that has lasted for over 20 years. For this reason this level of resistance has to be looked at with respect.

 

I see.

Thanks.

 

Elisab,

Could you please post a chart showing the US30/10yr SMA's achievement?

Thanks.

 

Gundlach thinks 10 year is headed to 3.10% by year end, being lead by EM currencies continuing to spiral lower.

Surely you mean 2.10, not 3.10?

EDIT: I see that he has actually flipped and is looking for 3.10% by the end of the year. I don't get how that's consistent with an expectation of EM blowup, but whatevers...

 

And I agree on the idea that the crisis of emerging currences is linked to the rise in U.S. interest rates.

 

The month of August ended with a typical reversal figure known as the hanging man. A very strong monthly signal that could mean a cooling of rates in the coming months.
