Stopped Out Rates

US10YY traded below yield support level of 3.58% (my so called show hand level) and EU10YY below 3.44%, re-entering yield double bottom neckline. Thus I have stopped out of all my (short assets) Rates positions tonight. Hard to understand - stocks up + yields down. Could be that lower yields in the driver seat now. Just hope that risk currencies resume their rally as per usual correlations.

Hard to understand indeed, was thinking the same.

The last time equities+rates moved in such close lock-step fashion (single session) was in late Jan. What followed was multi-week range movement for both markets. Not that it should portend the same this time round of course.

Bonds will probably sell off in a big way now that I am out, having traded this Temasek style.
