iM Update* – February 12, 2021

Bond-market:

Fig-4.-2-12-2021The BVR-model avoids high beta bonds (long-bonds) and also intermediate duration bonds.

The Bond Value Ratio is shown in Fig 4 and is near  last week’s value.  According to the model, only when BVR turns upward after having been lower than the lower offset-line should one consider long bonds again.

The Yield Curve:

Fig-5.-2-12-2021 The yield curve model indicates the trend of the 10-year and 2-year Treasuries yield spread. Figure 5 charts (i10 – i2) shows that the yield curve is above last week’s level  This model confirms the direction of the BVR. (This model previously showed buy and sell signals for STPP and FLAT, two ETN’s that profited from a steepening or flattening yield curve, respectively, but these  have now matured and are no longer available.  The model is continued so that the trend of the yield curve can be monitored)

 

Gold:

Fig-6.-2-12-2021The modified Coppock Gold indicator shown in Fig 6. This model generated a new buy signal end March 2019 and is invested in gold.
