Zb1In the context of futures markets, "ZB" typically refers to the ticker symbol for the 30-Year U.S. Treasury Bond futures contract traded on the Chicago Board of Trade (CBOT). The contract is based on a notional, or face, value of $100,000, and it is settled in cash. The contract is used by traders and investors to speculate on and hedge against changes in the value of long-term U.S. Treasury bonds, which are issued by the U.S. Department of the Treasury and are backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government. Futures contracts are financial instruments that allow traders and investors to buy or sell an asset at a predetermined price on a specific date in the future. They are traded on organized exchanges, such as the CBOT, and are subject to standard terms and conditions that are set by the exchange. The value of a futures contract is determined by the underlying asset, which in this case is the 30-Year U.S. Treasury Bond. The price of the futures contract is influenced by a variety of factors, including changes in interest rates, economic conditions, and market demand for the bond.

The Bond Market Reacts to the FOMCBonds have slid further and there is no relief rally insight. The markets were hoping for a 'dovish hike' in the sense that the 75 bps hike would be followed by dovish rhetoric. In fact it was the opposite. Yields have maintained highs pressing prices further down. We are hugging 113'12 and expect support there. If not, we will use Fibonacci extension levels to determine support levels further down. Our targets are 115'03 and 115'29 if we get our relief rally.

Why Bonds Might Be Nearing LowsBonds have continued their decline as the markets price in a potentially historic FOMC rate hike this week. Inflation data suggests that the Fed's rate hike trajectory is not really working and inflation is still soaring. On the other hand, multiple indicators suggest that we are in a recession, and the Fed will have to pivot their hawkish stance after this last rate hike. If that is the case, then we expect the bond market to be nearing lows. We have one more technical level before we will have to start using inverse Fibonacci extension levels to predict lows in bonds again, as 113'12 is our last technical level. The Kovach OBV also appears to be leveling off. The next targets from above are 115'03 and 115'29.
