Schatz futures started the week softer and retained the downside bias into the Wednesday close. Prices printed down at 105.315, a new contract low. This price action reinforces the current bearish theme and signals scope for weakness towards 105.140 - levels last seen in October 2008. On the upside, key resistance has been defined at 106.130, the Feb 2 high and 106.155, the Jan 18 high. Clearance of this resistance zone would reinstate a bullish condition.
