HYG iShares iBoxx USD High Yield Corporate Bond ETF

$HYG if that CPI doesn’t come in tame tomorrow… the 10yr could be testing the 5% levels into the weekend

Junk Bonds $HYG are not looking so hot as rates rise and economic conditions get tough for risky credits However, for successful traders who've built Income funds aka "survival funds" to pay the bills during market downturns (like me😉) this could be good time to look at Junk CEF's or other funds that pay high Income on a monthly basis Some traders are gonna be like "you can do this??" Yes you can and should Note: keep an eye on credit-spreads. They've been historically tight last few years (bad) but if they widen a bunch (good) than even better

$HYG 10Yr yields holding bids > 4.75% as $TLT at a 10yr low… yields feel like at a breaking point… I saw an analyst thinking the 30yr yields will reach 6% before the 10yr yields reach 5% even as further away

Even high yeild debt $HYG broke down through some major levels HUGE red flag USUALLy but not today just fucking wild!! $SPY $QQQ

$HYG I found on Equibles that MORGAN STANLEY reduced its HYG position 25.9% to 19,441,067 shares as of June 30, 2026, worth an estimated $1.55 billion.

$HYG $BNO & $USO up another 4% today as the pause in oil’s rally into this week’s meetings fade … the reality on the ground still suggests higher oil

Markets are focused on Wednesday’s Fed decision, with Wall Street expecting a 25-basis-point rate hike. The announcement is due at 2 p.m. ET, followed by Fed Chair Kevin Warsh’s press conference at 2:30 p.m. Treasury yields ahead of the decision stood near 5.01% for the 10-year and 4.67% for the 2-year. August retail sales are also due at 8:30 a.m., with economists expecting a 0.8% increase after a surprise 0.6% decline in July. Retail stocks remain mixed, with the SPDR S&P Retail ETF down 10% from its August high. Signet Jewelers, Academy Sports and Best Buy have recently gained, while Casey’s, Victoria’s Secret and Burlington Stores have fallen. Lennar reports earnings after the bell, putting homebuilders in focus as the sector remains under pressure. Lennar is down about 40% over the past year, while PulteGroup, Toll Brothers, Hovnanian and D.R. Horton have also posted declines. $HYG $DHI $NOC $LMT

$HYG Looking more and more like 2022 when we hit a low and then stayed depressed for the next year.

$HYG OptionsFLO flow and daily chart read. The alert snapshot shows $8.5M in the Jan 15 $77 puts. Volume was 2.6x standing open interest at capture.

$HYG $TLT both in bad shape thanks to FED HAWKS, Warsh letting Bond Vigilantes run the rates market, and $DJT stopping the Iran bombing back in April.

For all my bond traders out there, $HYG is now trading in OVERSOLD territory along the support area of $77.50 Who knows how high yields will go, but what comes up - must come down ... eventually LONG TERM POSITIONING!

$HYG looking pretty flat today Not much conviction out there Spotted a 42,500-contract Sep 18 $80 call block at the ask on InsiderFinance Looks like some short term upside positioning But without more bullish flow or a clear break above $80, it's a low conviction play Meanwhile, those big Sep/Oct $75 put blocks are still in the game Larger players hedging for downside, so keep that in mind Feels like a good time for hedged structures over outright longs With the Treasury buybacks starting Sept 10 and yields still high, it's a macro driven ride Near dated options might be best for quick plays on rate moves Stay sharp
