Forex Flash: Patience required for 10-year US treasuries – RBS
FXstreet.com (Barcelona) - 10-year US treasury yields appear to be 'settling in' to a new/old lower rate range of 1.55% to 1.85%. According to the RBS Research Team, “Buyers should remain patient and flat and counter-trade moves to the range boundaries. Here at mid-range we see little that inspires us as fundamental and technical signals conflict.”
Meanwhile, treasuries have rallied overnight as weaker than expected PMI data out of China and Germany has amped up fears of a global slowdown. Asian stock markets were paced lower by Chinese shares, which fell by 2.6%. Our overnight Treasury flows were orderly in Asia before getting "grabby" after the European PMI data disappointed. Total Treasury market inter-dealer overnight volume perked up to 160% of the 10-day average.
