HYG iShares iBoxx USD High Yield Corporate Bond ETF

$HYG if that CPI doesn’t come in tame tomorrow… the 10yr could be testing the 5% levels into the weekend

$HYG 10Yr yields holding bids > 4.75% as $TLT at a 10yr low… yields feel like at a breaking point… I saw an analyst thinking the 30yr yields will reach 6% before the 10yr yields reach 5% even as further away

Markets are focused on Wednesday’s Fed decision, with Wall Street expecting a 25-basis-point rate hike. The announcement is due at 2 p.m. ET, followed by Fed Chair Kevin Warsh’s press conference at 2:30 p.m. Treasury yields ahead of the decision stood near 5.01% for the 10-year and 4.67% for the 2-year. August retail sales are also due at 8:30 a.m., with economists expecting a 0.8% increase after a surprise 0.6% decline in July. Retail stocks remain mixed, with the SPDR S&P Retail ETF down 10% from its August high. Signet Jewelers, Academy Sports and Best Buy have recently gained, while Casey’s, Victoria’s Secret and Burlington Stores have fallen. Lennar reports earnings after the bell, putting homebuilders in focus as the sector remains under pressure. Lennar is down about 40% over the past year, while PulteGroup, Toll Brothers, Hovnanian and D.R. Horton have also posted declines. $HYG $DHI $NOC $LMT

$HYG if $VIX gets back > 20, will that finally be enough to get $HYG to reset lower? What will it take to get this thing to move

$HYG looking pretty flat today Not much conviction out there Spotted a 42,500-contract Sep 18 $80 call block at the ask on InsiderFinance Looks like some short term upside positioning But without more bullish flow or a clear break above $80, it's a low conviction play Meanwhile, those big Sep/Oct $75 put blocks are still in the game Larger players hedging for downside, so keep that in mind Feels like a good time for hedged structures over outright longs With the Treasury buybacks starting Sept 10 and yields still high, it's a macro driven ride Near dated options might be best for quick plays on rate moves Stay sharp

$HYG Coincidence it rejected hard the day it touched that old, extended Res line? I think not. 👀
