US 10 year Interest Rate Yield close to 1%, take care

Since covid started, mid March, all countries around the world had maximize the debt to GDP ratio, to be able to pay for those stimulus checks, more debt was issued, country debt was generated.

The US 10 year yield was around 1.5% at that time, mid february or so, and it dropped directly to 0.5% after the world has stopped instantly due to covid in march 2020. The yield was moving between 0.6 and 0.5 from march till september, and from that month is going up slowly, having it around 1%.

Why is it going up?
It can be that the world is expecting a high inflation or inflation in goods and services, because of all the money that has been printed or the expansion of the economy that they were forced to execute

I`m thinking also that it is also possible because the central banks started to underload their purchases, and they are buying less, on a slowly pace, in order to keep the yield on the same rate as it was in the covid. If this is the case, when yield goes up, some people, funds and so on, could change from stock market investments to bonds, pressing the stock market drop (but this still does not show up, we had the best november in terms of rentability)

Apart from that, if interest rates goes up, the actual over debted countries will be forced to pay more interest, and will have more difficulties to pay their interest requirements. Perhaps, some country will suffer paying that debt interest, if the interest of all countries move higher.

In Europe, Italy at least has already ask to pardon for the debt generated during the covid. I don´t think the rest of European countries will accept it, but it is alarming that a big european country is asking for it

The USD is lossing power against the rest of the currencies, at least the Euro. It has dropped from around 1.08 to 1.21. So, I don´t know the reason for it, because because if central bank would be buying more debt, I suppose currency would drop as well as interest rates (but thats not the case, so I`m confused).

The SP500 has done well finally in 2020, it is up for more than 10% even though there was a big pandemic in the world. 

What could happen in stock market if interest goes up more?

What could happen if some medium country declares debt default?

What could happen if USD strenghtens quickly to 1.08?

What could happen if all the stimulus checks cannot be paid? in United States and all around the globe. European countries has also provide huge stimulus checks to unemployed people due to covid

...

Many uncertainties and many unknowns about the market future trend.

Financial Crash in US, 2018 or 2019

Has been a while since I did not updated the blog.

Since beginning 2018 the world economy, started a downtrend pattern. Even though US market still was not in downtrend, the rest of the world indices were already half a year in downtrend. 

For example, EuroStoxx in a monthly chart, which is very informative chart, started to show a downtrend cause, first, the MACD line and signal histogram crosses zero line and becomes negative. Apart from that, in the same chart it can be seen a double top meanwhile the MACD graph does not joins


Because of this two technical reasons I was expecting at the beginning of the year a retracement in all financial market (but US still does not started).

Apart from that there are other factors, like the US debt cost is getting higher, interest rates in US are skyrocketing and sooner or later problems should appear. 

If we check the US debt interest rate (in 10 year T-Bonds which is the most common T-bond and is a reference for many credit). The 30 year T-bonds is similar to 10-year too.

In 2 years period, the interest rate were up, from 1,5% to 3% and the FED seems that will be increasing quarterly 0,25% the interest rate, so more increases are expected



In US index (SP500) for instance, on the monthly chart still cannot see any downtrend, but in the weekly chart something interesting appears.
Since high from January, the price went up (September was a higher high) but the MACD graph NOT. This is what concerns me more, maybe a BIG downtrend can be starting in US markets in order to equalize the rest of world markets or at least reduce the discrepancies in the world market indices


All this being said, there is political risk with the biggest GDP countries and the trade war, it will increase uncertainty and most probably inflation in US (forcing the FED increase pace). But playing the news is impossible, just have in mind this could happen.

If the world economy pace stops (and with the trade war between US and China could happen) the oil prices will go down a lot, cause stopping oil production will not be imminent, so same pace of oil production will persist meanwhile economy stops. The crude price for instance has fallen since September from 74$ approx the barrel to 56$ the barrel, a 25% down from September highs due to overproduction (or decreasing consumption in economy in my opinion).

So, play conscientiously in this greed market

SP500, perfecto historico alcista y similitud con el Ibex35

Gráfico mensual que cubre los últimos 12 años del SP500 se observa que tiene movimientos estables, excepto el año 2008 cuando comenzo el crack.

No es mala idea operar siempre que el histograma del MACD cruce al alza la linea horizontal cero, marcados con círculos en la imagen inferior. En 12 años, en el tramo marcado con la cruz roja nos habría dado una señal erronea.

La pasada vez antes de la caída del 2008, se paso unos 4 años, igual, subiendo poco a poco, pero establemente. Ahora ya lleva un tiempo parecido subiendo y casualmente comienzan con el tapering de la QE.


Para buscar una mejor entrada bajaríamos al gráfico semanal o diario. En la parte inferior añado el gráfico semanal que cubre los últimos 3 años. Realmente con el SP500 daría bastante igual cuando entrar porque ha tenido caídas muy pequeñas. O bien cuando este cerca de la media móvil de 50 sesiones (linea azul) o jugamos con el histograma del MACD o el estocástico.


¿Y que le sucede al Ibex?. Pues como se ve en el gráfico mensual, el Ibex suele ser un poco más caótico. Subidas y bajadas más criticas y no tan estables como el SP500. Con la misma lógica del SP500 nos hubiera dado tres tendencias erroneas, año y medio, pero el resto de veces funcionaría.

Y ahora vemos estamos en pleno ascenso y no tiene pinta de cambio de tendencia. No sería raro que fondos americanos crucen el charco para entrar en Europa además de los empujones expansivas de Draghi.


Nos deberíamos de centrar en buscar puntos de entrada, ahora mismo ha subido bastante tras la comparecencia de Draghi, por tanto deberíamos de esperar a que se desinfle un poco la sobrecompra (que tiene efecto a corto). El momento ideal hubiera sido entrar a finales de verano, ahora no Septiembre 2014

Histórico del SP500 y análisis técnico a Octubre de 2013

Hoy tocará analizar un índice de la otra parte del charco, que no es nuestro fuerte, ya saben que nos centramos más habituálmente en el Ibex y sus acciones.

Si vemos el índice SP500 en gráfico mensual desde 1973 podemos ver que muy pocas veces en estos 40 años el índice ha estado por debajo de la media exponencial de 200 sesiones. Solamente dos veces se ha perforado estos dos puntos (1974 y 2009), círculos rojos marcados en la imagen de abajo.

Esta media exponencial de 200 sesiones formó 3 veces un soporte (1978, 1982 y 2002). Y para ser más exactos, el índice casi siempre se sitúa sobre la linea azul (media exponencial de 50 sesiones), haciendo de soporte también algunas veces (marcados con círculos amarillos en la gráfica de abajo). Ahora mismo se esta por encima de la media exponencial de 50 sesiones por lo que nuestra estrategia debe de ser alcista. Debemos de seguir siempre la tendencia.

Los cruces en la linea horizontal cero, del indicador Momentum, nos dicen si estamos en tendencia bajista o alcista. Ahora mismo como vemos estamos alcistas. He marcado en la parte inferior de la gráfica con flechas azules estos tramos (tendencias)


Si sacamos la gráfica semanal, nos podemos centrar un poco más para poder descubrir el punto de entrada para abrir posiciones largas (comprar el índice) ya que ahora solo abriremos posiciones alcistas. Lo mismo que anteriormente, el Momentum y la EMA de 52 semanas del Momemtum nos dirán los puntos de tendencia. Nos avisaban en 2008 de una posible caída, ya que la EMA52 semanas perforada la linea horizontal cero del indicador Momentum. Ahora mismo, esta EMA52 esta sobre la linea horizontal cero, por tanto, seguiremos optando por ser alcistas.

Las dos flechas rojas indican el cruce al alza de la linea horizontal del MACD, cuando aun el EMA52 del Momentum, NO indicaba cambio de tendencia en el gráfico semanal, por lo que el MACD nos confirmaba un punto de entrada alcista para abrir posiciones.


Ahora, si nos adentramos más en gráficas de franjas de tiempo inferiores, por ejemplo en un gráfico diario, nos podemos basar en la simples medias exponenciales de 200 sesiones (rojo) o 50 sesiones (azul) para tomar posiciones. El Momentum no parece ser un buen indicador para operar en gráfica de diaria. Nos centraríamos más el indicador MACD o el estocástico (cuando este en sobreventa) para abrir posiciones
