Market talk that ECB is checking prices in Spain...

...we might have reached their limit of tolerance, but markets will always prevail over CB manipulations...

EDIT: yields really going down 6.965 now

Don't track the bond market by the tick, it doesn't work like that in those markets. My 2 cents, just set an alarm at 7% just because of the media implications short term (obviously 7% is unsustainable for most countries but that requires auctions and time not a 5 minute breach of the level)...

In any case, there will be a bunch of news to the other side until election so better watch-out not to get suck in with the bonds. Bonds are the real benchmark for debt but not necessarily for a correlated intraday trading...

You are right as usual, not arguing about that, I am just sharing the current status for guys without access to FI feed. All I was looking for was a quick FA based low risk scalp if we crossed 7%, still the implications of this level might be amplified by upcoming elections and finally spark some proper move from this congestion zone...My 2 cents

out -5, probably too tight on stop, but this bull has balls so not willing to risk much.

Overnight highs broken.

Seems as if a prewarning for massive manipulation during off periods, like the 40-80 billion dollar kind liquidation/acquisition
