Editor's Note: Below is a brief excerpt and chart from today's Early Look written by Hedgeye CEO Keith McCullough. Click here to learn more.

"... Look at last week’s CFTC futures and options net positioning:

  1. SP500 (Index + E-mini) +56,081 net LONG contracts = +2.16x (leaning bullish on a 1yr z-score)
  2. 10YR Treasury -159,930 net SHORT contracts = -2.66x (leaning bearish on a 1yr z-score)

Really? It’s one thing for The Bull on bonds to book some gains when Janet tells him she’s gonna hike (until she sees the data she hasn’t forecasted)… but to buy SPY and short TLT on that? I guess that’s why performance out there is not good."
