The long bond market (TLT) continues to climb higher in price, but today marks a move outside the trend. The long bond is breaking out to the upside and recently crossed above the 200 DMA. We are seeing the other bond ETF's like IEF moving above the 200 DMA.
This move to safety is on the back of significant weakness in the commodity market that seems to be extending.
Good trading,
