Here's something to be aware of, more potential for games squeezing speculators.
nytimes.com

Last COT showed specs short a very high 172,683 ten years, and 402,200 five years.

The big question I have though, is this caused by specs carry trading (borrowing) in the top credit issues like Treasuries, and Eurobonds to buy junk? I think so, and if so, one can guess the outcome.

Another VIX blowout after the failed rally attempt, +80 to 13.28 right now, somethings amiss. The pattern the last couple days has been to then try and sell it (volatility). Hasn't been working though.
