OUTLOOK
Homepagemarkets-real-timeBulletMarketsFixed Income BulletsForeign Exchange Bullets
  • In the FI space, the trend outlook in Bund futures remains bearish and the contract traded to a fresh cycle low yesterday. Key support at 131.23, the Feb 29 low, has been cleared. This confirms a resumption of the downtrend. Attention is on 130.25, the 1.236 projection of the Mar 8 - 18 - 27 price swing. On the upside, firm resistance is at 133.05, the Apr 12 high. Short-term gains would be considered corrective. First resistance is at 131.89, the 20-day EMA.
  • Despite the latest recovery, a bearish theme in Gilt futures remains intact. The contract traded lower last week, delivering a fresh cycle low of 96.01 on Apr 17. The move down maintains the bearish price sequence of lower lows and lower highs. Furthermore, MA studies have crossed, highlighting a bear-mode set-up. Scope is seen for an extension towards 95.96 and 95.41, the 1.764 and 2.00 projections of the Mar 12 - 15 - 22 price swing. Initial resistance is at 97.78, the 20-day EMA.
