The rise in interest rates has been meteoric, with mortgage rates reaching levels not seen in nearly two decades.
The 10-year U.S. treasury bond yield is highly watched as a leading indicator, and that yield has risen from near 0% (during height of the COVID pandemic) to well over 4% recently.
Is this historic rise in interest rates enough?
Given how sensitive the stock market has been to this rise, investors sure hope so.
Today’s chart takes a look at the 10-year treasury bond yield on a long-term monthly timeline. As you can see, rates have spiked. In fact, using the 30-month ROC (rate of change), yields are up 555% (over 5x bigger than any time in yield history).
The 10-year yield is also testing a long-term down trend channel that may serve as resistance.
So yields are overheated and testing strong resistance. Will this cool off interest rates? Have bond yields risen enough? Stay tuned.
