Last Week Analysis - Bullish Breakout after crossing 200 days EMA


US Treasuries (TLT) collapsed from last week high of 132.21 to 127.39. Since it has got no room to rally further, it triggered sell off and favored equities market. Besides the unemployment rate remains unchanged at 8.3 percent. This number really looks good. No, people got used to this number. Getting not worst is considered best to the market?

 

With reference to http://www.bls.gov/news.release/empsit.nr0.htm/

 

"Both the number of unemployed persons (12.8 million) and the unemployment rate (8.3 percent) were essentially unchanged in July. Both measures have shown little movement thus far in 2012."

 

Market rallied strongly following the report and also note that many traders would be on vacation during summer months.


US will hold presidential elections on Nov 06, 2012


With respect to US long term treasury prices, TLT closed today at 127.39 which is little loss for this week compared to the last week close of 128.48.
