LQD and HYG (USD inv grade and HY)


-          Investment Grade (chart2) looks much more advanced in the sell off, I would expect this move to continue to 109-110 before finding support. This is 2 or 3% lower from here. A failure to hold the level would point to 103-105 (so 7-9% lower)

-          HY has held much better but now  is catching up (chart1). My central scenario implies a continuation in the sell off to continue to the first golden rectangle (84-87), which 6% lower. If this level doesn’t hold a move to the strong support area at 80-82.5(8/10% lower ) is totally possible in the medium term.
