In log mode, we can clearly see the trend of yields dating back to the late 1970s.
Consistently lower yields on both the 2 year and the 10 year government bonds.
Representative of both the long and short duration bonds and their yields.
What we can see happening here is a breakout of this downtrend.
We are already at between 2.5-3% on the 10YR and the 2YR yield.
The Federal Reserve's planned tightening schedule combined with the inflation panic will drive both of these metrics up into the 3% range and beyond.
The only way yields could reverse here is through seeing a risk-off move from equities into bonds which would drive up bond prices and in turn, drive down yields.
Similarly, higher-yields could tempt investors into bonds at a point in which many stocks have already entered a bear market and many are set to underperform. Market breadth is set to shrink dramatically as equity bulls focus their efforts into a narrower set of large-cap stocks.
The FED has an interest rates decision next week amd therefore this quarter will be crucial in determining the direction of the markets.
