High Yield Breakout to Multi-Yr Peak Offers S&P 500 Green Light

(Bloomberg) -- High Yield Corporate Bond ETF has advanced to levels not seen since 2015 and the bullish breakout may serve as a precursor for fresh all-time highs in U.S. stocks, Bloomberg Technical Analyst Sejul Gokal writes.
  • See live chart here
  • Crucial resistance on HYG shattered at 88.36
  • S&P 500 E-mini generic futures (see chart) has carved a short-term base against the important 2,354 support (61.8% Fibonacci, ichimoku cloud support, French election gap base)
    • HYG, ES1 rolling 30-day correlation at +0.68, rising since turning positive in late April
  • Volumes lack and poses mild risk factor:
    • HYG breakout was on lowest volume day this month
    • 3-day rally in S&P 500 futures met with diminishing volumes, a sign that buying commitment somewhat lacking
  • NOTE: U.S. stocks are poised for a “speculative overshoot”, BofA Merrill Says
