(5-1-11) We continued to scalp the June US Treasury Long Bond contract from the long side in Friday’s trade. We were buyers of the contract at 122.01, selling it at 122.17 in late session, taking out yet another half a point from the contract on the long side. As financial pundits continue to pooh-pooh US Treasuries, the Treasuries continue to gain in value. We continue to trade them from the long side.
The June Dollar contract broke into yet another fresh 3-year low. We are looking to buy the contract at 73.00.
The June Crude Oil contract – we were buyers once again on our 113.01 buy stop Friday, as recent tops at the 113.50 area were breached on a closing basis, signaling higher Oil prices next week. For now, however, we would look to be short sellers on any move up to 114.50.

We were buyers of the contract again on the close Thursday at 119.18 We were sellers of the contract in Friday’s trade, taking nearly one whole point out of the contract.

(4-10-11) Last week’s light market action set up trading
opportunities for the coming week. We saw the June Long Bond contract come down
under good selling pressure in Thursday and Friday trade. We bought the
contract when it came under 118.00 in Thursday overnight trade, selling the
contract at 118.16 in Friday’s early session. We think the bonds are cheap down
here and we look to trade them from the long side on a retest of the 117.28
area.
The June Dollar contract is coming down to approach fresh lows. However we think the contract is oversold at 75.00 and would be looking to trade the contract from the long side, as the Euro will pull back from recent ECB rate action inspired rallies.
