U.S. Treasury Bonds Lower, Despite Supportive Fundementals / Interest-Rates / US Bonds
By: Levente_Mady

Long Term U.S. Treasury Yields, Someone Is Going To Be Wrong / Interest-Rates / US Bonds
By: Guy_Lerner
For over 8 months now, I have been chronicling the plight of the 10 year Treasury bond. Based upon the "next big thing" indicator it was my expectation that yields on the 10 year Treasury bond would rise once there was a monthly close above a yield of 3.342%. This occurred at the end of May, 2009.

U.S. Treasury Bonds Positive Seasonal Influences / Interest-Rates / US Bonds
By: Levente_Mady
The bond market bounced back last week. We went through another 3-10-30 year auction cycle, but the restless natives did not even wait for the auctions to be out of the way as the bond started its move up first thing on Monday. Needless to say the supply was well received. Not only was the bidding substantial and aggressive, but also the closely watched “International Buyers” showed up in force again. They took over 50% of all the bonds auctioned and were especially aggressive in buying the 30 year tranche on Thursday.

Moment of Truth for U.S. Treasury Bonds / Interest-Rates / US Bonds
By: Mike_Paulenoff
The moment of truth for the iShares Barclays 20+ Year Treasury Bond ETF (NYSE: TLT). If current strength continues to propel prices into and ABOVE a key near-term resistance plateau between 94.15 and 94.85, then prices should explode even more rapidly towards 97 thereafter (and I will be forced to chase the long side).

While the trend in bonds has been sideways, it is noticeable that there has been a fairly predictable cycle within the course of each month related to the Treasury auction calendar. The first week of the month has the announcement for the long auction cycle consisting of 3-10-30 year auctions to be conducted during the second week.

U.S. Treasury Bond Market Expected to Surprise to the Upside / Interest-Rates / US Bonds
By: Levente_Mady
The bond market traded sideways in July. This is remarkable in light of the events that have transpired last month in the financial markets. The risk trade remained in vogue for another month as stocks, commodities and peripheral currencies powered ahead. Chinese equities have almost doubled from their lows and they have led the charge in emerging market equities. Market participants however fully realize that efforts to re-flate prices only have a chance in a steady to declining interest rate environment.

Shorting U.S. Treasury Bonds / Interest-Rates / US Bonds
By: Mike_Paulenoff
The bond, TLT, TBT charts and technicals are urging me to get short the long end of the yield curve...looking for longer term rates to climb in the days ahead. My near-term work in the ProShares UltraShort 20+ Year T-Bond ETF (NYSE: TBT) argues that the upmove off of the July lows at 48.01/05 exhibits very bullish form, in the aftermath of the completion of a major correction from the 6/10 high at 59.97 into the July lows.
