Have Treasury Yields Peaked?
Soaring inflation and bond yields have hammered sentiment all year. But now there could be signs of yields peaking.
A few patterns appear on this chart of the 10-year Treasury yield. First is the October 2018 high of 3.248 percent. TNX jumped above that level for six sessions before rolling over. It tried it again on June 28, but failed. That lower high may confirm long-term resistance remains in effect.
Second is the rising trendline along the lows of March and May. The yield closed below that pattern yesterday. Has the trend broken?
Third, MACD made a lower high in mid-June as TNX made a higher high. That kind of divergence is a potential reversal pattern.
We’ve also seen widening losses in most non-oil commodities: copper, wheat, iron ore -- even natural gas. While inflation remains an issue, those declines could help lower yields.
Finally, it’s noteworthy that the
30-year Treasury yield never even broke its 2018 high. That may also suggest that long-term inflation worries haven’t gotten completely out of control.
