Supply on tap, but can Treasuries get over Europe?
Earlier this week we urged all of our clients to get flat Treasuries because things didn't "feel" right and they still don't. Treasuries have managed to maintain an upward bias in the face of higher equities (the few bounces that we have gotten), a recovery in the Euro, this signals that there are some behind the scenes forces that are carrying a bit more weight such as emotion.
When markets become emotional, they are nearly impossible to predict. Let's face it, humans are unpredictable and market prices are the result of the conglomerate of human reaction to news and events. That said, under most circumstances I believe that the Treasury markets tend to maintain their composure much better than equities do. As a result, bonds and notes are often late to react to the equity and currency markets; accordingly, we don't feel as though being short Treasuries has the risk reward prospects that we would like to see. Perhaps sitting on the sidelines is the best position for now.
The economic calendar for next week will be thick and might be what the markets need to get their heads off of Europe. We can't deny that a credit crisis overseas wouldn't be devastating for domestic markets but we also can't assume that European leaders won't make the reform necessary to mitigate the pain. If you have to play Treasuries, you should likely have a bearish bias but you want to keep risks low and don't overstay your welcome. Friday's highs should stay intact for now; if so, support in the 30-year comes in near 123'27 and then again near 123'04. Good luck!
