US 3mo as short term Leading Indicator?As I continue to watch bond markets and the 3 month specifically I have noticed a pattern for short term bullish confluence with SPY.
I have highlighted (with the light purple dots) the pops in the daily 3mo chart that occur after at least a five day downward yield slide. Above the 3mo candles is a snip of the SPY chart that corresponds with the initial 3mo daily pop. The text in green notes the percentages over the following 7 and 13 trading days. A couple of the SPY snips actually fell off on
US 10Y TREASURY: adjusting to Fed`s narrativeThe largest surprise during the Holiday week on the Western markets was a sudden move of the 10Y US benchmark yields toward the higher grounds. The 10Y yields reached the level of 4,629% after weightening the Fed`s narrative from the last FOMC meeting. The market is now anticipating a more hawkish Fed's policy in 2025. The next FOMC meeting is scheduled for January 2025, but there is no expectation that the Fed will make any move in interest rates during this meeting. As Fed Chair Powell noted i
Weelky Leading Indicators are NOT BullishThe Weekly Leading Indicators have had broken into Bearish mode.
SG10Y have broken up of a trendline
TIPS and TLT have broken down support
JNK similarly broke down of support
The combined US Equities weekly chart are at an indecision range, but daily chart analyis tells of a more bearish story.
SOXL is holding up somewhat though.
So while all 4 Leading Indicators are red flagging.
The Indices have yet to respond.
Watch for it... and be careful.
Happy New Year 2025!

US 10Y TREASURY: only 50 bps in 2025?The Fed spoiled the market game for one more time. Although interest rates were cut by another 25 bps as expected, still the market did not like what Powell said about projections for 2025. He noted that the Fed expects persistent inflation, hence, the current projections are drop in interest rates by only 50 bps. Inflation expectations were also corrected, so now the Fed expects the PCE indicator to end next year at 2,5%, versus 2,2% previously forecasted, while its targeted 2% is expected to r

SG10Y SG Govt Bond Yield UNCANNY heads up on US EquitiesHere is a rehash of the relationship between the Singapore 10Y Govt Bond Yields and US Equities ETF, SPY (Blue Line).
Noted that when the SG10Y technically breaks out, the SPY technically breaks down, and vice versa.
This is not 100% but happens an estimated 80% of the time, and recent occurences since September are marked out with bullish green or bearish red time lines, respective to SPY from the SG10Y leading indications.

Market Alert: US 10Y YieldBack in mid-October, I mentioned keeping the US 10Y yield on your radar 📊 as it appeared to be forming a potential falling wedge pattern. This pattern, if completed, would indicate higher interest rates ahead.
Well... the time is here! 👀 Should the market close above 4.42% today, this pattern will officially complete.
🔑 Key Levels to Watch:
✅ Ideally, a second close above this zone in the New Year would confirm the breakout.
✅ This suggests not only a retest of the 2023 high of 5.02%, but als
US10Y going lower as Fed has no choice but to continue cutting.More than 1 year ago (November 7 2023, see chart below), we made a bold (for the time being) call on the U.S. Government Bonds 10YR Yield (US10Y), as against the prevailing market sentiment we gave a sell signal, right after what turned out to be a top:
Today we revisit this pattern, following yesterday's Rate Cut by the Fed primarily because of their statements that instead of 4, they will only proceed to 2 more cuts in 2025. We believe this to be false and expect the Fed to quickly resume
Weekly Indicator Panel WARNED last weekend...ALL Red Flags already, as warned by my panel of leading indicators.
You would see that all threshold have been triggered and are clearly red flags IF the week closes at current levels. The week has not ended, but it appears bad enough.
There should be an attempt tp recover somewhat, but overall appears that Santa Claus might crash this rally this year. Furthermore, the year end and year start are keen indicators of the year ahead as well... so watch closely.
