    Since early June, the equities markets have been in a bullish stance.



    As we all know it, most of the money is going into the largest stocks and especially tech related sectors.



    But all types of equities have profited.



    In such a context, Treasuries are sold, investors expecting higher rates.







    Based on the current 10Y rates and expected companies earnings for September, the current S&P500 prices provide a lower yield compared to AAA bonds. This tells us how overvalued this market is in terms of yield expectation.




    Conclusions:

    I am not fighting against such a strong parabolic move, but I continue selling calls against my long positions.

    I have also started buying defensive stocks that usually do well at the end of high rates cycles.
