… and that concludes a Monday. With a new hist’ high, it was a net bullish day. The s/t cyclical setup favours the bears, but I’d not expect much. Certainly, I’ve near zero confidence to short an index, even if I went with Nov’21st PUTS.

The US 10yr yield print a new s/t high of 4.15%
Broadly… it remains year THREE of chop.

notable bond ETF: TLT

Mostly flat yields… flat bonds.
