MNI MARKETS ANALYSIS: Trend Overview Of Long Term Yield Charts

Government bond futures contracts have trended lower this year as the market debates inflation concerns. Here we review a number of long-term yield charts to evaluate the long-term trend conditions following this year's price activity.

The charts highlight the following:

  • The long-term trend, looking at monthly charts, remains bearish.
  • However, the short-term trend and it can be argued the medium-term direction is bullish. This suggests that for now at least, the uptrend in yields represents a correction.
  • Looking at the monthly frequency, bear channels are evident and the channel resistance levels remain intact. US yields are however closer to the channel top area where a break would represent a significant technical development.
  • Moving average studies - the 20 and 50 day EMAs - remain in a bear mode condition.
  • Channel breakouts and a reversal in the monthly EMA structure would represent a major directional shift in the trend and sentiment.

The charts below highlight these technical features:
