THE HEDGEYE DAILY OUTLOOK

TODAY’S S&P 500 SET-UP - May 27 2011

UST Bond Yields showing how bullish people are on the Growth Slowing trade this morning (bullish for bonds). 2s are immediate-term TRADE oversold at 0.48% and 30s at 4.22%, but this is really starting to look like May-July of 2010 in the bond market – they can run.

The Hedgeye favorite Macro long positions remain TLT and FLAT – and we bought our GLD back yesterday. If Growth Slowing and Deflating The Inflation (our Macro Themes) become consensus by mid-summer, all 3 of these positions should hold up just fine. Remember Gold acts best when real-interest rates imply negative yields.

As we look at today’s set up for the S&P 500, the range is 18 points or -1.18% downside to 1310 and 0.17% upside to 1328.
