Will NFP’s pop Bond Yields?
THe 10yr bond yields continued to trade like a small cap biotech with almost daily rips and dips but with a bearish bias for at least a couple months. Yesterday yields popped and have found the high side of the downward channel. The trend is lower but with NFP’s this morning, there could potentially a catalyst to pop rates out of the channel and open the door for a run to 1.3%. Should this rate rise happen it will juice the cyclical / value sectors.
10 year Bond Yield
TLT
A break below the uptrend line, at say $148, would trigger a sell signal on TLT ( due to a rate rise in the 10yr bond ). For me this would go a long way toward giving the all-clear for us to move more aggressively go into the value / cyclical sectors.
Signs of a Shift to Cyclicals
Rising Rate Environment Areas of Interest.
- Falling Dollar is supportive of Commodities and cyclicals in general.
- Rising Rates ( $TNX ) and / or a break of TLT $148
- Cyclically focuses ETF’s to watch.: XLB, XLE, XLF, XLI, KRE, IWM
- Set alarms on the above EFTs for further confirmation of the move.
- Traders can then drill down in specific sectors for invididual names if desired
- Materials. Commodity and Specialty Chemicals
- Metals and Mining. Copper, Aluminum, Steel, XME
- Industrials. HON / MMM / GE Infrastructure names
- JETS / Airlines, Delivery services , marine transport, etc
- KRE; Regional Banks…………more highly levered to rates than mega banks
- Travels, Hotels, Cruise Lines re-opening names.
