10Y Yield Approaching 200DMA Resistance

CHINA
  • China LT bond yields have been rising in the past two weeks amid surging inflation risks due to strict lockdown policies imposed by the government.
  • Global supply chain disruptions will continue to support food prices this year, including pork prices (key component of index).
  • China 10Y yield broke back above the 2.8040% pivot level in mid-April (61.8% Fibo retracement of the 2.4610% - 3.3580% range) and is gradually approaching its key ST resistance at 2.8560% (200DMA).
  • A break above that level would open the door for a move up to 2.91% (50% retracement).
  • On the other hand, US 10Y yield has been consolidating lower in the past week after finding resistance slightly below the 3% level, pushing the China 10Y yield premium back to positive territory.
  • We have seen that interest from CNY carry traders has fallen as China 10Y bond yield premium has now completely vanished and therefore has been pressuring the Chinese yuan to the downside.
    • USDCNY broke above the 6.60 level today and is up nearly 4% since the start of its rally on April 19.
