There is a near universal consensus forecast for weaker bonds/higher yields and just about everyone trading bonds are positioned that way, including banks.
So bank bond desks are screwed along with everyone else short bonds.
Additionally I would like to address all those who have referenced the COT report which shows a bear bias as well.
========
The Bond Market Futures are deliverable and therefore the COT report only shows a very very small degree of positioning of which the majority are genuine hedge positions.
- The natural position and the one promoted by the futures exchanges in their education materials is always long the underlying short the futures then manage the position in a delta trading fashion additionally with or without options.
- So to analyze the COT report on any deliverable you need to look at futures plus options and you need to look across all the curve and then you need to analyze the underlying as well
- Never confuse Bank Trading Desks and the Commercial Banks Portfolios. The two bear no relation to each other. One is a Trading Book and the other is an Investment Portfolio.
- One has a Mark to Market the other does not.
- So Commercial Banks are not positioned short and are not screwed.
On the contrary they up long and still have cash burning a hole in their balance sheets.
- Trading desks may perhaps be short but that is likely only a tiny proportion of the over-all market structure.
- To state that yields are dropping because everyone is caught with the wrong position is not true.
- There is a huge demand for so called non risk with a reasonable return. Something that in a ZIRP environment means that yields have to drop to what historically have been considered to be miniscule levels.
- The FED created the environment where it became a game of trying to re-build Commercial Banks Balance Sheets by effectively giving them free money. This was the route they went down post 2007 rather IE re-building Wall St in the mistaken view that a strong banking sector would then re-build Main St. BUT all this did was create and engendered the round trip of The US Treasury issuing Government debt and the Bank's buying the auctions that then were re-sold to the FED. Easy money without risk...In fact guaranteed profits.
-Now I hear you say but the FED is reducing their balance sheet and that round trip no longer exists but what you miss is that side of the business may perhaps be curtailed for now but the Commercial Banks need to fill their Balance Sheets with something and traditionally it has always been debt. The difference this time is that they have little interest in commercial debt or junk bonds or even EM debt so that leaves only one option..... Government Bonds
To conclude and repeat. If the prevailing view is universally bearish on yields then that is likely the view of the vocal minority the same minority who have been bearish for the last 5 years in stocks. It is also likely the view of the frustrated who for a while have seen little genuine volatility across many asset classes. After all the S&P 500 YTD broadly speaking went from 1850 to 1750 to 1900. IE no where fast to the upside (and one c add in many other asset classes with similar performances) but the US 10 year Note has moved 7% and the Long Bond the genuine area of the fixed income curve has moved 15%. (Why do I say this is the genuine area of the fixed income curve..because this is where you separate the men from the boys and where the majority of mortgages are run to and from in terms of time.
From this one can deduce there has been an extension of duration (btw the 10 year duration is 8.77 and the long bond is 18.8 years) in the never ending search for yield enhancement and there has been a search for genuine portfolio return which has occurred at the long end rather than the middle of the curve. After all 15% in 5 months is not to be sneezed at.
Conclusion: The driver is not short covering per see but genuine demand, in places driven by yield considerations, in places by a flight to quality, in places by an ASSET ALLOCATION

This is so like Japan it's not funny. No-one can get a mortgage in Japan - and that has been the case for decades. Which is why property prices never recovered, bond yields continued to fall way past what everyone expected (I don't think anyone forecast 10 year yields to crack 2% - they are now under 1%) and low short term rates never impacted the private sector at the individual or small business level.

John - this isn't just a short squeeze this is an ongoing flood of capital into bonds - from the FED via commercial banks. This flow of funds bypasses the private sector. The market may have been short bonds. That is a miscalculation of the flow of funds. The market had been waiting for an increase in credit to the private sector, a flow on increase in economic activity and higher inflation, higher gold prices etc... and it's not happening.

Dillon AL - absolutely. I heard the theory that Central Banks keeping rates low create a kind of commercial QE. The commercial banks lend from the Central Bank and buy government bonds. Lending to the private sector (ie. the individual or small business - I saw an article on 120 percent interest on small business loans in the U.S.) is reduced while the government and businesses big enough to access the bond market get extremely favourable interest rates.

John one explanation that none seems to have put forward re fixed income yields is that the bond buying has come from a traditional source. IE Commercial banks who have apparently no other place to lend.
As the credit markets in terms of their lending are frozen - due to their rediculous requirements (in my case when I added the other half's earnings they actually reduced the amount that they were prepared to lend whereby it ended up being less than 1x my annual earnings !) - they are finding it difficult as well to place money for any reasonable term with their so called competitor banks in the money markets it therefore leaves only one avenue. Lend to the Govt. I would suggest that Commercial Banks are the culprits

Frankly, I find most explanations I have heard about why bond yields are in the tank as rather hollow. I've been in these markets for more decades than I would care to admit, and what typically happens when something strange like this occurs is an explanation eventually surfaces.
I sense that bond dealers regularly have been on the wrong side of the market recently and that suggests that they do not have a clue either. One staple of bank earnings usually has been profits on bond trading, and quarter after quarter recently they have not been performing.

That means if you are trading from the long side, you are swimming UPSTREAM against the current. Scalping with a close stop can work in this environment, but this is not a "buy and hold" market when the trend is so strong.

it would be nice to see another short squeeze but that would be a hope trade more than one based on the current risk on downside.
No change to the current risk
if 1.3600-12 is firmly broken => risk to 1.3559-62 => if broken then 1.3475-00. Only 1.3838-42+ would slow this risk.

In a very light day for key data, second tier releases should attract more interest than usual. Domestically, the CBI distributive trade survey will provide the first insight into retail activity for May, ahead of the BRC and official data. The official retail sales release for April reported a sharp 1.3% rise, which may have been due in part to an Easter effect. Today�s survey will be watched for signs as to whether or not activity remained buoyant this month. It has previously suggested that retailers have reported a significant pick up in annual sales against a backdrop of rising confidence. This has been mirrored in the expected sales balance, which rose to its highest level in over three years and points to some acceleration in annual sales growth in May.

Fx Trading has changed alot - and now it comes down to several factors.
* each trading session has been looked at - and bots configured to trade according to time vs session
* correlation trading dominates so that no market is on its own - and more times than not FX just provides backdrop liquidity and not direction
* sticking your neck out and taking extra risk or using more leverage just is not rewarded due to what you mentioned - paint drying / time management.
* not only that but the technology operates more efficiently as each month goes by.
So you can adapt and make a living - or try to over leverage and wipe out your account a few times and quit.
To give you an idea on how my style has developed - I have short term trading bots / correlation bots / longer term bots and commodity market bots .. some have trailing s/l some have fixed s/l each optimized for the market they deal .. so they give as little away as is possible.
As you can see it is no secret because the market goes into the same or similar patterns each day .. and like most I disable my bots over news ... anyway study / learn / optimize and find a method that will move beyond the rest of 2014.
best of luck.

Agree or Disagree? EURUSD
Last week EUR broke and remained below the long term support daily 144 ema - today the 21 dma (1.3751) crossed the 55 ema (1.3753) this has happened three times since last summer but the 21 dma moved back above quickly - the 21 has not crossed below the 89 ema (1.3736) during this period // Both the 21 dma and 55 ema could cross below the 89 ema this week -- resistance levels are moving lower in tandem so it may be harder to move higher
