• BRL best performer
• TRY catching up (see the bonds??)
• GBP bottom of the table (for now)
weekly update 6/n 10Y Yields heatmap

weekly update 10/n US credits p1

• RiskON continues
• now this gets interesting. Some subsectors overshooting the falling (wider spreads) SMA.
• no weakness for the time being to justify RiskOff shorts in SPX
weekly update 11/n US Credits p2

• same message: RiskON continues in shown subsectors
weekly update 12/n US Credits p3

• last of the 3 parts, no weakness at this point, still RiskON in spreads,rebound mode,medium term trend is still down (wider spreads).

if you shorted SPX early because it is "short term overbought" you got stopped out over and over again

Impl SPX volatility is nicely coming off as fear is replaced by new liquidity hope.
