INTEREST RATES
The US Treasury yields broadly remain stable across tenors. We expect the yields at the far-end to break above their near-term resistances and move up within their broad expected sideways range. The German yields sustain higher and remain stable. The view is bullish to see a further rise from here. The 10Yr has risen contrary to our expectation to see a fall. It has room to move up further and then come down again. The 5Yr GoI has also risen and can move up in the near-term before reversing lower again.
The US 2Yr (0.74%), 5Yr (1.24%) and the 10Yr (1.47%) Treasury yields remain stable while the 30Yr (1.90%) has inched up slightly. We expect the yields at the far-end can rise to 1.6%-1.65% (10Yr) and 2% (30Yr) in the coming weeks. A break above 1.53% (10Yr) and 1.93% (30Yr) can accelerate the rally. Overall, we reiterate that 1.3%-1.65% (10Yr) and 1. 7%-2% (30Yr) will be the range of trade for some time.
The German 2Yr (-0.66%), 5Yr (-0.50%), 10Yr (-0.24%) and 30Yr (0.10%) continues to remain higher and stable. We retain our bullish view of seeing a rise to -0.1%/-0.05% (10Yr) and 0.25% (30Yr) in the coming days.
The Indian 10Yr (6.4901%) GoI has risen breaking above 6.48%. This has negated the fall to 6.44%-6.4% that we have been mentioning over the last few days. The 10Yr GoI can now test 6.55% in the near-term and then reverse lower again to 6.5% and maybe even lower thereafter.
The 5Yr (5.8397%) GoI has also risen above 5.82% and can now test 5.85%-5.86% on the upside before reversing lower again. A fall below 5.8% will be needed to drag it down to 5.74%.
