INTEREST RATES

The US Treasury yields sustain higher and remain bullish. The yields can rise more. The German yields have inched up further and are keeping the bullish view intact. There is room to rise further. The 10Yr GoI has risen well and needs to see if that sustains to move higher from here itself. The 5Yr GoI is still within its narrow range and looks mixed.

The US 10Yr (4.20%) and the 30Yr (4.30%) yields sustain higher. A rise to 4.3%-4.4% (10Yr) and 4.4%-4.5% (30Yr) can be seen first before the yields target 4.5%-4.6% (10Yr) and 4.6%-4.7% (30Yr) eventually. Support is at 4.1%-4% (10Yr) and 4.2%-4.1% (30Yr).

The German 10Yr (2.57%) and the 30Yr (2.69%) yields continue to move up. View remains bullish to see 3%-3.1% while above the support at 2.4% (10Yr) and 2.5% (30Yr).

The 10Yr GoI (7.2054%) has risen well. If it sustains above 7.2%, then the fall to 7.15%-7.13% can be avoided and the rise to 7.35% can happen from here itself.

The 5Yr GOI (7.1916%) on the other hand has to breach its 7.16%-7.22% range to clear the way for the rise to 7.3% and 7.45%. The chances of the dip to 7.13%-7.1% has not been negated completely yet.
