The US yields are moving to new highs after the comments from Fitch that the US would remain on negative credit watch (to be resolved in the 3rd quarter).
The 2-year yield is up near 4.5% up 15 basis points and 4.491%. The 10-year yield is at 3.681% up 7.3 basis points. Its high yield reached 3.691%.
Looking at the hourly chart of the 10-year yield , the high-yield tested the falling 100- hour moving average at 3.688% (moved briefly above the level, but backed off). A move above would have traders looking toward the 200 hour moving average of 3.705%.
The low yield this week reached 3.570% yesterday. That took the yield below the 50% midpoint of the move up from the May 11 low at 3.60% area.
Meanwhile, stocks are relatively unfazed:
- Dow Industrial Average is up 670.84 points or 2.03%
- S&P index is up 62.46 points or 1.48%
- NASDAQ index is up 142 points or 1.08%
