iM Update* – April 1, 2022

Bond-market:

Fig-4.-4-1-2022The BVR-model avoids high beta bonds (long-bonds) and also intermediate duration bonds.

The Bond Value Ratio is shown in Fig 4 and is above below 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.-4-1-2022 The yield curve model indicates the trend of the 10-year and 2-year Treasuries yield spread. Figure 5 charts (i10 – i2), the yield curve is below last week’s level and the trend remains flattening. 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.-4-1-2022The modified Coppock Gold indicator, shown in Fig 6,  generated a buy  signal beginning March 2022 and is invested in gold.

This indicator is described in Is it Time to Buy Gold Again? – Wait for the buy signal ……. 

 

 

Fig-6.1a-4-1-2022The iM GOLD-TIMER Rev-1   This model generated a new a buy signal mid August 2021 after being in cash for two weeks and thus invested in gold.
