removing Treasury position

The Treasury position has been a wild ride lately. I thought the bond market would be smart enough to avoid the swings of the equity markets. However, yields went up dramatically along with stocks. If I am assuming a negative correlation between stock and Treasury prices, then Treasuries would fall.

Close Treasury positions at 3.68%. No gain, no loss. Derisking seems to be the best option. Still bullish on this asset class in the long term.

+ PBR 5

Commodities:
+ silver 20
- copper 25

Fixed income:
+ German government bond 10 year 100 (hedged)
