US TNote Future – Dec 2008

Comment: Overnight interbank US dollars tentatively offered at 8.00% today, when the Fed Funds target is 2.00%, so that the gulf between hope and reality has rarely been this wide. This explains the attraction of two-year TNotes, but more interestingly thirty-year have also kept pace, now yielding close to a record low of 3.90%. Benchmark ten-year yields look set to re-test the pivotal 3.25% yield and the spread of Bunds over US Treasuries should narrow. After that the question will be how close to the October 1946 all-time low yield of 1.82% do we get. Note that ten-year JGB’s yielded 8.00% when the Nikkei topped out in January 1990, yields dropping to 0.75% nine years later. This December futures contract should move up to re-test 119.00/119.16, eventually the all-time high at 121.26. Note that open interest is roughly half of last year’s peak suggesting a lot less speculation.

Strategy: Buy at 116.00, adding to 115.00; stop below 114.00. Add to longs on a daily close above 117.04 for 118.00 where some hesitation is likely, then 119.12 and on to 121.00/121.26.
