The "No- Brainer" can't miss trade coming into the first of this year
was that interest rates were going to rise. 90 Days ago I shared that
bond prices were breaking out, discussed in the "Tell Me About Rising
Rates" post (see here).
One of the key reasons to establish a long bond position was due
to this: Interest rates had the largest 18-month rally in the past
30-years, up 50% more than the seven largest rallies in the past
30-years!
MarketWatch reported earlier this year that 100% of economist predicted that rates would rise. Wonder how that prediction has worked out? Year to date, TLT is up twice as much as the S&P 500.
The chart above highlights that the yield on the 10-year note has
been falling since the first of the year and is now on rising support.
IF support breaks, the next key support line comes into play around 15%
below current levels.
If yields break support, would they be sending a message about the
strength of the global economy? What happens here at support I feel is
important to more than just the bond market!
