The US Treasury and the German yields have come down sharply and are on a corrective fall. The market is waiting to hear the Fed Chairman Jerome Powell’s speech at the Jackson Hole Symposium tomorrow. Supports are there to limit the downside on the US and German yields and keep the broader uptrend intact. The 10Yr and 5Yr have declined below their intermediate support. Further fall is possible before the uptrend resumes.
The US 10Yr (4.20%) and the 30Yr (4.27%) yields have come down sharply. This is a correction within the broader. 4.1% (10Yr) and 4% (30Yr) are immediate supports which will need a close watch. The big picture is bullish to see 4.5%-4.6% (10Yr) and 4.6%-4.7% (30Yr) on the upside.
The German 10Yr (2.51%) and the 30Yr (2.62%) yields have declined sharply but have supports near current levels. A reversal is possible again to keep the broader uptrend intact to see 3%-3.1% on both the 10Yr and 30Yr.
The 10Yr GoI (7.1927%) has come down below 7.2%. It can test the next 7.15%-7.13% zone and then resume the upmove targeting 7.35% on the upside eventually.
The 5Yr GOI (7.1795%) on the other hand looks vulnerable to see 7.13%-7.10% while it sustains below 7.2%. There after a fresh rise to 7.45% can happen.

Dow (34472.98, +0.54%) is managing to hold above 34250. A strong rise past 34600 will reduce the danger of the fall to 34100-34000 and can take the Dow up to 35000.
DAX (15728.41, +0.15%) is holding higher. But as mentioned yesterday, while below 16000, the chances are still alive to see one more leg of fall to 15200. It is a wait and watch.
Nifty (19444, +0.25%) continues to oscillate within its 19250-19500 range. A strong close above 19500 is needed to reduce the chances of the fall to 19200-19000 and move up to 19600 and higher straight away.
