10Y Yield Approaching Key 61.8% Fibo Resistance

CHINA
  • LT bond yields have been rising in the past two weeks despite the surge in geopolitical uncertainty and a slight decline in the economic surprise indicator.
  • China 10Y yield has been approaching a key resistance at 2.80%, which corresponds to the 50DMA and the 61.8% Fibo retracement of the 2.46% - 3.36% range.
  • A break above that level would open the door for a move up to 2.86% (100DMA).
  • Most of the move in China 10Y yield has been driven by the sharp upward retracement in major DM LT bond yields; we saw that German 10Y yield has surged by nearly 40bps in the past three weeks.
  • On the downside, key support to watch on China 10Y yield stands at 2.67% (76.4% Fibo), which was rejected in the end of last month.
  • Next important data to watch will be inflation update coming on February 16; inflationary pressures are expected to continue to ‘ease’ with sell-side firms forecasting PPI to decelerate to 9.5% in January (vs. 10.3% the previous month).
