...Current Outlook

One of the to a greater extent than bullish developing stories for equities is genuinely taking house exterior the equity markets.  Yesterday, the 10 twelvemonth treasury yield ($TNX) closed at 3.05%, a definitive breakout of its slowly 2.81%-3.01% gain that it had been mired inwards for the yesteryear 3-4 months.  That agency that coin is rotating inwards pregnant fashion OUT of the to a greater extent than defensive treasury market.  Always recall that there's a perfect 100% inverse human relationship betwixt treasury prices as well as treasury yields.  When treasuries sell off, yield rise.  It's that simple.  And when treasuries are sold, what happens to the proceeds?  Well, treasuries by as well as large sell off equally economical weather strengthen.  Strengthening economical weather are typically a boost to Corporate America's bottom business which, inwards turn, leads to higher S&P 500 prices.  That's why there's a positive correlation betwixt the direction of the TNX as well as the direction of the S&P 500.  The TNX notwithstanding must negotiate the high it established inwards May 2018 at 3.11%.  A breakout in that location could Pb to a rush of buying inwards US of America equities.  I believe it volition happen.  Here's the intermediate-term sentiment of the TNX:

The intermediate-term trading gain for the TNX is the double laissez passer on breakout of 2.62% equally yield back upward as well as the May 2018 high of 3.11% equally yield resistance.  I've drawn a couplet trendlines on this chart, simply trendlines are unsafe because y'all tin rather subjectively depict the lines to connect whatever y'all want.  The enterprise bluish business inwards a higher house connects fundamental lows since the July 2016 low.  The occupation hither is the few publish of intersecting points.  Trendlines are exclusively equally potent equally the publish of cost points they connect.  While it's hard to nation which yield signal is most of import on this nautical chart from a trendline perspective, I tin nation that TNX back upward close 2.62% is really critical to this intermediate-term chart.

Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 breakout inwards a higher house 3.11% is precisely what the bulls desire to see.  Don't psyche to the "higher involvement rates are bad for the economy" hype....MORE
