U.S. 10 year government bond yield minus German 10 year bond yield spread

Nasdaq Transportation Index

Notes & Ideas:

Government bond yields were subdued.

There was a slight bias higher for longer dated issues while the yield for shorter dated paper tended to ease.

This is evident in some U.S. spreads appearing in this week’s list.

It’s worth noting those yields and spreads which were omitted from this week’s edition.

High Yield bond yields have entered overbought territory.

And Norwegian 10’s are building their way towards an all-time high.

Equities were mostly weaker, again.

This week sees a few more of the world’s indices join the American indices at oversold extremes.

South American, Central European and Chinese bourses were the few to rise during the week.

Some of these are found in this week’s overbought list.

Spain’s IBEX, Switzerland’s SMI and Singapore’s STI departed overbought territory, while Israel’s TA35 and Poland’s WIG rejoin that membership.

During the week, the KBW Bank Index, Dow Jones Industrials, Dow Jones Transports, TAIEX and Nikkei 225 ventured into oversold land.

Germany’s DAX Index is overbought for 7 weeks. 

Thailand’s SET has fallen for 7 consecutive weeks.

Vietnam’s main index has risen for 8 weeks.

The S&P SmallCap 600, MidCap 400 and Russell 2000 have declined for 7 consecutive weeks.

Switzerland’s SMI broke its 4 week winning streak. 

Amsterdam’s AEX, Philly’s SOX, Nasdaq Transports, the Nasdaq Composite, the ASX Industrials and the ASX 200 are in 4 week losing streaks.

And the S&P SmallCap 600 has fallen for 5 straight weeks.

Commodities saw much activity.

Silver, Platinum and Palladium added to last weeks gains.

LNG Gas prices along with Tin and Sugar also had a good week.

Coal, Coffee, Distillates and some Softs languished.

Cotton, Lean Hogs & JKM LNG (as priced in Yen) all rose enough to see them depart the oversold category.

Copper and Tin enter overbought territory, while Lumber & Arabica Coffee makes an exit.

While Gold rose for the week, Copper’s advance was large enough to poke the Copper/Gold Ratio into an overbought extreme.

The Baltic Dry Index has soared 82% over the past 4 weeks. No one is building new ships…..

Cocoa has fallen for 6 of the past 7 weeks and is in a 4 week losing streak.

Heating Oil has also sunk for 4 consecutive weeks.

Gasoline and Rubber are in 5 week losing streaks.

Orange Juice declines further, extends its losing streak to 12 weeks. That’s an example of quite an extreme.

U.S. Hot Rolled Coil Steel has climbed for 7 weeks.

Brent Crude and WTI Crude broke 7 straight weeks of decline. 

Tin prices have soared 25% over the past 6 weeks.

while Lithium Hydroxide has now lingered in weekly oversold territory for 93 consecutive weeks.

Currencies were mostly quiet and uneventful.

Myopically, the Aussie was mixed, with a slight upward bias if I was forced to choose.

The larger picture shows the AUD and CAD exhibiting ‘risk off’ tendencies and correlations.

Inversely, the Swiss and the Yen have been attracting the ‘risk-off’ love.

The Euro firmed.

The Loonie has fallen for 5 straight weeks agains the Euro.

And oddly, the Swedish Krona is soaring against the USD.

The larger advancers over the past week comprised of;

Baltic Dry Index 19.2%, Cotton 2%, Copper 4%, JKM LNG 2.9%, JKM LNG in Yen 8.4%, Tin 8.9%, Palladium 1.9%, Platinum 4.8%, Gasoline 1.9%, Sugar 4.8%, Dutch TTF Gas 5.8%, Silver in AUD 3.6%, Silver in USD 3.9%, Gold in AUD 2.3%, Gold in CAD 2.6%, Gold in CHF 3.2%, Gold in EUR 2.2%, Gold in GBP 2.5%, Gold in USD 2.6%, Gold in ZAR 2.2%, CSI 300 1.6%, China A50 4.2%, BOVESPA 3%, PX 1.8%, IGPA 1.7%, IPSA 1.8%, TA35 1.8%, BIST 3.2% and Poland’s WIG rose 3.7%.

Currencies once again saw most action and they feature prominently in this week’s list.

The Canadian Loonie was generally weaker, again. Confusing perhaps, as the decline in the CAD juxtaposed the risk-on feeling for the week.

The Euro was weaker while the Yen saw strength.

The Swiss has fallen 3 consecutive weeks agains the AUD, confirming the ‘risk-on’ mood.

The DXY is in a 4 week losing streak which helps explain USD appearing as oversold in this weeks edition.

The Oversold Quinella (Both Oversold and Traded at < 2.5 standard deviations below the weekly mean)

Australian Coking Coal

China Coking Coal

Notes & Ideas:

Government bond yields rose, which broke many declining streaks.

The exception were Finnish, Japanese, Chilean and Brazilian yields.

The misnomer in this weeks edition is that intra-week yields did trade to oversold extremes before reversing higher and many closing above last weeks close.

U.S. inflation breakeven inflation rates also rose.

The Copper/Gold ratio is in a 5 week losing streak.

And we are seeing divergence in Chilean yields. The 2 year yield has risen for 8 straight weeks while the 10 year yield has fallen for 6 consecutive weeks.

Amazingly, most equity indices closed either flat or rose for the week.

There are no equity indices in overbought territory this week, however of the many appearing in the oversold category, did so due to their intra-week swoons.

The major Indian indices are no longer overbought.

Australian indices were amongst the rare losers for the week as were selected Asian markets.

The Nasdaq 100 rose 0.4% for the week which was enough to break its 4 week long streak.

The KOSPI is in a 5 week losing streaks.

And the Nikkei 225 has declined 17% over the past 4 weeks, keeping it in a 4 week losing streak.

Commodities were mixed, although generally posting gains which is change of a few weeks of broader weakness.

Oil, Cocoa, Lumber Thermal (again) Tin, Gasoline and Gases had a good week.

All things steel related are in a trough.

Coking Coal prices are unloved.

Silver, Grains, Copper, Platinum and Lean Hogs were weaker.

I’m very happy to see cheaper bacon prices.

Sugar broke its 5 week losing streak.

Copper and Iron Ore prices have fallen for 5 and 6 straight weeks, respectively.

Copper has declined 15% over the past 6 weeks.

While Crude Oil and Palladium broke their 4 week losing streaks.

Worthy of note, is the forward contract month for Henry Hub Natural Gas bounced out of oversold territory.

And Lithium Hydroxide has now spent 56 consecutive weeks in weekly oversold territory.

Currencies continue to provide action, again and again.

The Aussie was mostly higher thus breaking its losing streak against most currencies.

The anomaly is its 4 week losing streak versus the Loonie.

The ‘mid-week’ Aussie strength was commensurate with the rising fortunes for equities and an analogy for ‘risk-on’.

In the meantime, the AUD mean reverted against the Yen.

The Loonie saw strength and as a result it broke its 6 week losing streak agains the Euro.

In fact, many streaks were broken this week.

The British Pound fell and extended its losing streak against the USD to 4 weeks.

Brazil’s Real bounced out its stay in oversold land

The GBP/JPY have fallen for 5 straight weeks.

And as pre-empted in last weeks edition, the DXY Index did trade to 2.5 standard deviations below its 20 week average.

The larger advancers over the past week comprised of;

Cocoa 24.2%, WTI Crude Oil 4.5%, Coffee 2.5%, Lumber 4.2%, JKM LNG 3.2%, Tin 2.5%, Newcastle Coal 3.3%, Natural Gas 9%, Palladium 1.6%, Gasoline 3.1%, Robusta Coffee 2.3%, Sugar 2.1%, LME Tin 3.9%, S&P GSCI 1.7%, CRB 2.2%, Dutch TTF Gas 10.2%, Brent Crude 3%, BOVESPA 3.8%, Mexico 1.6% and Philadelphia’s SOX Index rose 2.2%.

The group of largest decliners from the week included;

Australian Coking Coal (5.5%), China Coking Coal (5.4%), Lean Hogs (2.6%), Copper (2.7%), Lithium (2%), Platinum (3.9%), Silver in AUD (4.8%), Silver in USD (3.9%), Corn (2.5%), Oats (2%), Soybeans (2.4%), Egypt (2.1%), KRE Regional Bank Index (1.9%), KOSPI (3.3%), Nikkei 225 (2.5%), Russell 2000 (1.4%), SENSEX (1.6%), Strait Times (3.5%), WIG (2.5%), ASX Financials (2.6%), ASX 200 (2.1%), ASX Materials (2.5%), ASX Small Caps (3.5%) and Turkiye’s BIST fell 5.4%.
