The US Treasuries were in the market spotlight during the previous week. Their sell-off continued also during the week, when yields reached their highest level at 4.88% for 10Y benchmark, which was its highest level for the last 16 years. The yields started to relax a bit on Thursday, however, Friday’s strong jobs report supported market sentiment on potential for another Fed's rate hike during this year, and yield slipped back toward the 4.80% where they are finishing the week.
As US inflation figures for September will be posted in the week ahead, the current question is whether the market has fully priced another rate hike by the Fed during the previous week or it will need some more time? Current yields are in a range of those from the 2008 financial crisis, and potential higher levels of 10Y Treasury bonds from those in 2008 would certainly send a negative sentiment to many holders of the US Treasury bonds all over the world, let aside consequences which many institutions could have due to negative valuations.
At this moment some precaution could be advisable for the US Treasuries. Charts are pointing for some time on potential for reversal and so is for the week ahead. The level of 4.6% is pointed on the charts as a potential next stop of 10Y yields, however, markets might easily decide to act in a different way in the week ahead.
