STIR: Fed Rates Hold Broad 50/50 Call On Dec Cut, FOMC Minutes Headline

• In the FI space, despite strong selling pressure on Friday, a bull cycle in Bund futures remains intact. The impulsive nature of the latest rally and a fresh cycle high on Friday, paves the way for a test of the next key resistance 130.80, the Jun 13 high. Clearance of this level would strengthen the bullish condition. Note that the contract is overbought, a deeper pullback would allow this condition to unwind. Key support is 129.12, the 20-day EMA. Initial firm support is 129.44, the Sep 10 high.
• A bull cycle in Gilt futures remains intact and last week’s strong impulsive rally reinforces current conditions. Recent gains resulted in a breach of key resistance at 91.82, the Sep 24 high. The break opens 93.30 next, a 1.236 projection of the Sep 3 - 11 - 26 price swing. Note that the trend is overbought and a deeper retracement would allow this condition to unwind. Key support to watch lies at 91.39, the 20-day EMA. Initial firm support is at 91.82, the Sep 24 high and a recent breakout level.
