US 10YR FUTURE TECHS: (Z5) Support At The 50-Day EMA Remains Intact

Oct-02 10:43
  • RES 4: 114-10   High Apr 7 (cont.)
  • RES 3: 114-00   Round number resistance
  • RES 2: 113-12/29 High Sep 18 / High Sep 11 and the bull trigger 
  • RES 1: 113-00 High Sep 24 
  • PRICE:‌‌ 112-29 @ 11:32 BST Oct 2
  • SUP 1: 112-11/01 50-day EMA / 50.0% of Jul 15 - Sep 11 bull phase   
  • SUP 2: 111-26   Low Aug 26
  • SUP 3: 111-13+ Low Aug 18 and a key support  
  • SUP 4: 111-01+ 76.4% retracement of the Jul 15 - Sep 11 bull phase  

Treasuries bounced Wednesday and the contract is holding on to its latest gains. Attention is on support at the 50-day EMA, currently at 112-11. A clear break of this average would undermine a bull theme and signal scope for a deeper retracement. This would open 111-13+, the Aug 18 low and the next key support. On the upside, initial firm resistance to watch is unchanged, at 113-00, the Sep 24 high. A break would be bullish.

OUTLOOK: Price Signal Summary - Corrective Cycle In Oil Futures Remains In Play

Sep-02 10:38
  • On the commodity front, Gold traded sharply higher earlier as the metal extends its bull cycle. Today’s gains have resulted in breach of key resistance at $3500.1, the Apr 22 high, and delivered a fresh all-time high. This confirms a resumption of the primary uptrend and an extension of the sequence of higher highs and higher lows. The next objective is $3547.9, a 1.764 projection of the Feb 28 - Apr 3 - Apr 7 price swing. Initial firm support to watch lies at $3381.8, the 20-day EMA.
  • In the oil space, a bear cycle in WTI futures remains intact and recent gains are considered corrective. This short-term corrective cycle remains in play and today’s rally reinforces this theme. Initial resistance to watch is $66.56, the Aug 4 high. Key short-term resistance has been defined at $69.36, the Jul 30 high. Clearance of this level would cancel a bear theme. A resumption of weakness would pave the way for a move towards $57.71, the May 30 low.

EGB SYNDICATION: MNI pencil in E2.0bln for the Lithuanian syndication

Sep-02 10:34
  • Lithuania's issuance plan for 2025 sees a E6.0bln Eurobonds issuance target. E2.0bln was raised at syndication in January (dual-tranche 5/15-year) and we calculate just under E1.2bln has been sold at auction.
  • This leaves E2.0bln as our expected size (split equally between the two tranches). We see two-way risks to this (towards either E1.5bln or E2.5bln).
