INTEREST RATES

The US Treasury yields are hovering above their key supports. They have to sustain above their support to avoid more fall and keep alive the chances of rising from here. The German yields can dip to test their supports first and then can reverse higher. The 10Yr and 5Yr GoI are looking weak. They have room to fall more from here.

The US 10Yr (4.45%) and the 30Yr (4.62%) yields have to sustain above 4.4% (10Yr) and 4.55% (30Yr) to avoid the danger of falling more. That will keep alive the chances of rising back to 4.8% (10Yr) and 4.95%-5% (30Yr). It is a wait and watch situation.

The German 10Yr (2.58%) and the 30Yr (2.80%) yields remain lower and stable. They can test 2.5% (10Yr) and 2.6%-2.7% (30Yr) and then reverse higher again.
