  • Now the Bonds are Giving Us Hints That Higher Rates are Ahead

    The 30 year bond futures have broken below the lows of the past few weeks and this may be the start of a bigger decline ahead. As bond futures fall, rates increase. Watch the next rally in both the 30 year bonds USZ09 and the Ten Year Noteas TYZ09. If the next rally in unsable to move above the high of the previous 3 days, then we may be in store for a more serious decline later this month. Active traders should be on alert for potential shorts in these markets.

    A severe correction in the equity market may prevent a market fall in the bonds or notes, but so far there has been nothing but an incredible rally in the equity markets. Combine this with higher commodity prices to instill a fear of inflation and you get a depressed bond market in the futures markets. What we do in the futures markets in the bonds and notes the next few days may set up a trend that will last for several weeks.
