Bond traders are increasing their short bets on higher US Treasury yields after a significant rally. Hedge funds have expanded their record bearish Treasuries bets, with significant increases in net short positions in two- and five-year Treasuries futures. JP Morgan advises clients to sell bonds and stocks and shift into commodities, particularly oil. Hedge funds have extended short positions on Treasuries to record levels just before smaller-than-expected US bond sales and weaker jobs data spurred a rally.
