General Comments orValuable Insight

Attached is a Bund & Bond chart. They are basically identical.

Both show he same technical resistance area.

Both need their respective equity Indices (DAX & SPUs') to Hold and rally for them to fail at resistance.

We pulled our Bond sale so we could see how the Equity markets reacted to yesterday's sell off.

Further equity weakness would not be conducive to higher yields at this time.

Welcome to the mid-week shuffle.

Today we'll see whether or not managers want to stay the course through the summer or cash out and head to the beach.

I need to see a trad able low in the Equity Indices to sell Bonds.

Daytraders, play it very tight. Price action over this level will see the Bonds run to 137.00.

Opening Range Time Frame Trading again today.

Short Term View...

Keep trading to make money. The opportunity will be in individual names.

Individual stocks look to be an easier read based off their own technical's.
