Futures Close To Mid-October Highs
JGBS
Futures sit at 145.49, +.87 at the lunch time break, just below session highs (145.50). We are closing in on mid October highs at 145.63. A break above this level is likely to see round figure resistance at 146.00 targeted. From there, clearance of 146.41, the Sep 4 high would highlight a base in futures and a possible more meaningful short-term reversal.
