- US 10-year treasury yield hit a fresh 45-month high of 2.73%.
- Eyes 2.76% - inverse head and shoulder neckline.
- A long-term bull reversal in yield (bear reversal in bond price) seen above 2.76%.
The US 10-year treasury yield rose to 2.733% in Asia; its highest level since April 2014.
Still, it is too early to call a bond bear market. That said, the yield is fast closing in on 2.76 percent - inverse head and shoulders neckline.
