Price Signal Summary - Bunds Pierce Support

OUTLOOK
  • In the FI space, Bund futures traded lower yesterday, resuming the bear phase. This strengthens the current downtrend and reinforces the short-term importance of the recent break below the 20-day EMA. Note that a key support at the Dec 8 low of 134.37, has been pierced. A clear break of this level would open 133.42, the Dec 4 low. Initial resistance is at 135.65, the 20-day EMA. A clear break of the average is required to ease bearish pressure.
  • Gilt futures gapped lower yesterday and cleared support at 99.60, Jan 5 low. This reinforces a bearish theme and confirms a resumption of the downtrend that started Dec 27. The contract has also traded through support at 97.97, Dec 6 high, signalling scope for an extension towards 97.39, the Dec 11 low. On the upside, firm resistance to watch is at 100.35, the 20-day EMA. A clear break of the average would ease bearish pressure.
