We’ve been hearing for months if not years that the Fed is going to push rates higher.
Do billions of free thinking people have anything to do with where rates go from here? We think so!
Below looks at the yield on the 30-year bond over the past decade.
Long-term yields remain in a down trend (red channel). Yields now are near mid-level of this long-term channel.
The yield rally over the past few weeks has caused it to face falling resistance line (1), which looks to be part of a pennant pattern. At this time resistance remains resistance.
Yields find themselves at (2) today, which is at the top of the pennant pattern and at the 50% retracement level, based upon the yield high in 2014 and the low in Jan. of this year.
If yields breakout, would that be good for stocks? If yields hold at resistance, would that mean stocks are due a pause?
In my humble opinion, what rates do at (2) should have a good deal to say about where yields and stocks will be 5 to 6 months from now.
This is not your typical interest-rate test of resistance.
Thank You Vets!!!
