for a close above 97.4400 to confirm a break of the 100-WMA and initially target

97.5000-5200. Bears look for a close below 97.2900 to ease bullish pressure and

     US 10-YR FUTURE TECHS: (U18) Bulls Need Close Above 120-06

*SUP 4: 119-09  Hourly resistance June 13 now support

*COMMENTARY: Bulls took comfort in the lack of downside follow through on the

break of 119-14+ with gains to start the new week seeing immediate pressure back

on the 120-06 high from last week. Bulls look for a close above 120-06 to

confirm focus on 121-03/12+. Bears now need a close below 119-27+ to gain

breathing room and below 119-13+ to confirm a break of the 55-DMA (119-14+) and

hint at a move back to 2018 lows.

     US 10-YR YIELD TECHS: 2.853 Support Key This Week

*RES 4: 2.965 - Hourly support June 13 now resistance

*SUP 2: 2.821 - Hourly support May 30 

*SUP 3: 2.790 - Hourly support May 30a 

*SUP 4: 2.759 - Low May 29

*COMMENTARY: Bulls have failed to trouble key layers of resistance and in

particular 3.014 with the yield again looking offered. The 2.853 support remains

key. Bears need a close below this level to reconfirm a bearish bias and

initially target 2.717-759 where Mar & May lows are noted. Bulls now need a

close above 2.950 to gain breathing room and above 3.014 to end bearish hopes

and initially target 2018 highs.

     JGB TECHS: (U18) Topside Follow Through Lacking

*RES 4: 151.13 - Monthly High May 30

*RES 3: 151.02 - Hourly resistance May 30

*SUP 3: 150.60 - Low June 14 

*SUP 4: 150.53 - Low Apr 27

*COMMENTARY: Topside follow through was lacking to start the new week with the

contract failing to gain traction above the 21-DMA (150.84). Bulls continue to

look for a close above 150.94 to confirm traction above the 21-DMA and return

focus to the 151.02-19 resistance region. Daily studies remain well placed for

gains. Bears now need a close below 150.81 to gain breathing room and below

150.71 to reconfirm initial focus on 150.53-60.
