BUNDS: Some impressive moves Yesterday

Dec-13 07:38
  • Some impressive moves in Bund yesterday, the single largest move for the early March expiry, and looking at the December expiry you would need to go back to early November to register over 118 ticks range, as Long end desks unwind more aggressive cuts.
  • Both Equities and and EGBs are finding some early demand post Cash Govie Open, but given the push through the 135.00 figure overnight, 10yr Yield has now spiked above the 2.208% retracement today, this wasn't registered Yesterday due to the fast markets price action.
  • Next support in Bund comes at 134.61, close to the 134.59 50.0% retracement of the Nov 6 - Dec 2 bull cycle.
  • Resistance moves down to 135.50.
  • Today sees France, Spain final CPIs and nothing out of the US.
  • Bundesbank publishes semi Annual Forecasts.
  • SPEAKERS: ECB Villeroy, Holzaman, Centeno.

  • It's another positive session for the Dollar, higher US Yield and some small unwind/profit taking in Equities have keep the Dollar on the front foot.
  • Focus in G10 Yesterday was on the most traded pair, the EURUSD and the 2024 low level, that was situated at 1.0601, while it traded as low as 1.0595, so far it has found some demand.
  • EURUSD is again testing the 1.0600 mark post Cash Govie open, so far printed a 1.0604 low.
  • Since US Yields have rallied, the focus in early trade is also on the USDJPY, after it broke above 155.00 overnight, printed a 155.15 high, but short of the next immediate resistance seen at 155.22 (30th July high).

The trend condition in Gold is unchanged, it remains bullish and the latest pullback appears corrective. However, recent weakness has resulted in a breach of the 20-day EMA, and Tuesday’s sell-off delivered a print below the 50-day EMA, at $2644.4. The breach signals scope for a deeper retracement towards $2547.0 the Sep 18 low. Firm resistance is seen at $2689.5, the 20-day EMA. Clearance of this average is required to signal a reversal.
