The US 30 year treasury bond market belongs to the "interest rate family" 10 year, 5 year, 2 year notes, the "Ultra bond" and others. All traded on the CBOT exchange.
Bonds have been on a strong uptrend past few months with some large moves day to day as well as intraday. Rather than talk about the longer term and what moves bonds these days ( i.e. rates, global instability, Trump etc.) I want to talk about bonds as one of the better markets in my opinion for day-trading
