Index Overview

Green across the board.

A Closer Technical Look - Bonds
Bonds are breaking down as Equities rally in lieu of a developing interest rate environment.
1) Support can be found at 115 and 113
2) Overextended rally might find a pause and rally back up to the 20 day moving average (light blue line)
3) Resistance overhead is at the November gap down indicated by red lines.

A Closer Technical Look – Oil
Oil is shooting up to 2016 highs of low 60s as headline news dominate the tape. Break of the 52 resistance was key in breaking out
of the range bound trading. Overhead resistance is low 60s in red. A lot of layers of support below in blue.

A Closer Technical Look - Gold
Gold follows Bonds and explodes down after breaking its 200 day moving average in November around 120.
The break of the 115.3 support now turn that area into overhead resistance. Targets are at the 106 level with the eventual
physiological 100 level or resistance.
