Key Quotes
“Between April 18 and the middle of last week, the 10-year yield rose 26 bp. Although the 2.30% level, which now houses the 20-day moving average has lost its significance, a move below 2.27% would open the door to back to the recent low yield near 2.16%. The June note futures sold off from 126-20 on April 18 to 124-23 on May 11. The bounce carried it back to 125-16 before the weekend. This met the 38.2% retracement of the decline. The 50% is found 125-21. The top of the previous congestion and 61.8% retracement is around 125-28. Look for demand to emerge (support) ahead of 125-00.”
