Chart of the Day
🏆 Today’s Chart of the Day was shared by Matt Weller (@MWellerFX).
- Matt points out that risk assets had a mini reversal today after the 10-year yield found support at 4.3%.
- 4.3% will be a significant test for the 10-year yield and the broader market. This level was resistance in Feb/March but it broke out in April as inflation fears resurfaced.
- A breakdown would be very bullish for stocks and other risk assets like gold and crypto. On the other hand, a rebound could put pressure on these areas.
The takeaway: The 10-year yield is testing a potential inflection point around 4.3%. A breakdown would be very bullish for risk assets, while a rebound would be bearish
