$JNK $hyg ick

HYG 04/14 80 put .57 (Play on Federal Reserve continued unwind on their balance sheet)

Expect HYG and other corporate bonds to fall as the Feds begin unwinding their balance sheet

Will be looking to make a play on HYG once I begin to close out some of these positions

yeah $HYG just follows the indices around as far as i can see

10000 $HYG MAY2022 $79 Ps trade 1.17

25000 $HYG 11MAR2022 $82 Ps trade 0.37

5.0 Mil $HYG @ 84.43

some big dark pool prints in HYG & jnk as well

HYG is sort of 100% puts 83 popular March expiration

That's why $HYG is so important as a sector. Fed has been supporting junk since COVID started. They can't just let rates on CCC companies explode. Can they?

Watching $MORT for taper clues that HYG and LQD are not showing as yet

dated but Fed has been buying $HYG

monster HYG put spread

Russell is under serious pressure. Watching $JNK and $HYG makes me think the rates stress on low rated credit could be causing issues. Only two thing matter anymore. Vol and rates.

as far as hyg and lqd, playing the credit market using the two in conjunction is also a good play depending on the feds actions

lqd is high grade debt hyg junk debt sooo

that I have I was long hug for most of the year started transitioning out of hyg and into lqd begging of the summer. I'm actually all out of hyg rn. mostly because the credit market is worsening. that's the number one thing I look at when trying to tell when there will be a var shock it's the credit market. credit isn't getting bad but we just came out of the largest global recession in all of recorded history so that's to be expected. but the softness in the credit market is indicating a flattening in the yeild curve is ahead. this will be accompanied by an equity sell off in which lqd should outperform hyg I believe.

LQD is good for corporate bonds, have you also looked at HYG @Donnieasoff

$HYG still bid though as long as Fed keeps buying I suppose

someone out here hedging a bond portfolio, those 10k TLT, 10k HYG, 10k EMB

Ok, no, they are not buying govies yet. Only HYG and maybe IG or JNK

big put buys in HYG

so darkpool update: buy spikes today in DXCM and some beat up tech names like BAND and WIX. Continued big buying in CTAS, gdrx still looks pretty strong. Solid improving buying in some of the favorites with good RS today like SNAP specifically and also CRWD and NET. Some selling into some of the value names (no longer buying in CVS). Semis not too hot in general but theres big buying AMAT and that chart is fire. Other random names with nice buying, HYG OXY ABEV GLD JPM MS GS PDD BILI NEM SFIX

i believe inflation affects high yield proportionally more than other bonds (@dros can u confirm this). Also seeing HYG buying

$HYG down big with $TLT green (for now)

$HYG probably going to move before long
