10 year united states government bond yieldthe US 10-Year Treasury Yield (US10Y) stands at 4.435% newyork session,The 10-year yield is a key benchmark for long-term interest rates in the United States and is closely watched by investors as an indicator of market sentiment regarding economic growth, inflation, and Federal Reserve policy.
The yield has been rising recently, reflecting investor concerns about US fiscal policy, inflation, and the outlook for Federal Reserve rate cuts.
Federal Reserve Interest Rate Decision (June 2025)
The Federal Reserve held its key interest rate steady at 4.25%–4.50% at its June 2025 meeting.
This marks the fourth consecutive meeting with no change in rates, as the Fed continues its cautious, data-dependent approach amid persistent inflation and moderate economic growth.
The Fed’s latest “dot plot” and projections indicate that two 25-basis-point rate cuts are still possible by the end of 2025, but expectations for cuts in 2026 and beyond have been reduced.
Key Drivers and Outlook
Yield Movements: The 10-year yield has climbed amid concerns about US fiscal deficits, credit rating downgrades, and the impact of tariffs and trade policy on inflation.
Fed’s Tone: The FOMC statement and projections reflect ongoing stagflationary pressures—slower growth, persistent inflation, and a slightly rising unemployment rate.
Market Expectations: Markets are pricing in two rate cuts by year-end, most likely in September and December, but nearly half of Fed officials see little or no room for cuts in 2025 if inflation remains sticky.
Conclusion
The US 10-year Treasury yield remains elevated as markets weigh fiscal risks, inflation, and the Fed’s cautious stance.
The Fed is holding rates steady but signaling that two rate cuts remain possible in 2025, with future moves highly dependent on incoming data, especially inflation and labor market trends.
Investors should expect continued yield volatility as economic and policy uncertainties persist.

US 10Y TECHNICAL OUTLOOK FOR THE WEEK JUN 16-20 (UPDATED DAILY) US 10Y TECHNICAL OUTLOOK FOR THE WEEK JUN 16-20 (UPDATED DAILY)
Overnight
U.S. Treasuries ended the week lower as rising energy prices sparked inflation concerns, potentially delaying Federal Reserve rate cuts. Crude oil surged $5.12 (7.5%) to $73.16/bbl, up 13.3% weekly, following Israel’s strike on Iranian nuclear facilities and Iran’s retaliatory missile attack, raising fears of further escalation. Treasuries began the day higher but steadily declined, pushing the 10-year yield above its 50-day moving average (4.374%), though it dropped nine basis points for the week.
Economic Releases for the Week

Technical Outlook
Monthly
We continue to trade within the previous month’s range with no clear direction. Range 4.63% -4.12%
Weekly
Technically hard to read were the market would go with all the geopolitical noise. Inflation was the concern reason why the yield went higher after the Israel-Iran issue due to surge in oil. This week, we might be able to see the direction after the FOMC on Thursday. So meantime I will hold my projection.
Daily
Same as weekly outlook. Will watch FOMC first.
US 10Y TREASURY: eyes FOMC projections The US inflation data were posted during the previous week, showing that the inflation continues to slow down, with 0,1% in May. Also, the University of Michigan Consumer Sentiment data are showing decreasing inflation expectations for this year at 5,1%, from previously posted 6,6%, while the five year expectation eased to the level of 4,2%. However, the unrest on markets was imposed by new Middle East tensions, which were also reflected in the Treasury yields during the previous week. The 10Y yields started the week at 4,5%, and closed it at 4,4%. The lowest weekly level was at 4,3% on Friday, but the Middle East unrest pushed the yields toward the 4,4%.
The week ahead brings the FOMC meeting and Feds macro projections, which is scheduled for Wednesday, June 18th. It is widely expected that the Fed will leave rates unchanged at this meeting, while the odds are increased for a rate cut in September. Certainly, the day of the FOMC meeting will bring some increased volatility, considering investors sensitivity to the Fed's narrative and especially projections. The next supporting level for the 10Y yields stands at 4,2%. However, considering the current unstable geopolitical scene as well as the FOMC meeting, there is also an equal probability for 10Y yields to test higher grounds, around the 4,5% level, but not higher from it.
Recession delayed like in the past (higher yield)yield inverted, usually a signal for recession, but there is a case that the recession delayed
It's during the recession of 1992, 2009, and now it should happen this year, but the chance has dropped from 70% to 30%
delayed recession moght be delayed for 4 year or until yield making higher high
after making higher high will see recession within 2 years, rest for 1 year then bottomed for 2 years
So we need to see
1. higher high 10-year yield in 2026-2027
2. recession within 2 years (2028-2029)
3. Resting for 1 year (2030)
4. bottomed yield for 2 years (2031-2032)
US10Y Big downside potentialThe U.S. Government Bonds 10YR Yield (US10Y) has been since last week on a 1D MA50 (blue trend-line) rebound, consistently rising since the April 04 Low (Support 1). The presence of the Lower Highs trend-line just above it, puts strong selling pressure long-term.
As a result, either now or upon a Lower Highs contact, we expect the US10Y to turn bearish and Target 3.860% (Support 1).

Eurobonds: Europe Seizes on Trump’s Fiscal MisstepBy Ion Jauregui – Analyst at ActivTrades
The tax bill proposal put forward by the Trump administration — known as the “Big Beautiful Bill” — includes a controversial clause, number 899, which threatens to tax dividends and coupons from U.S. assets received by foreign investors from countries deemed “hostile” or “discriminatory” toward the United States. While designed as a geopolitical pressure tool, this measure could ultimately undermine the U.S. market itself and present a historic window of opportunity for Europe.
For years, Brussels has aimed to boost the appeal of its markets against U.S. dominance. Regulatory measures like MiFID II, the push for strategic autonomy, and the introduction of common debt instruments such as Eurobonds have steadily gained ground. Now, with the prospect of a direct penalty on foreign investment in the U.S., European assets — offering favorable real yields and a strengthening currency — are emerging as a solid alternative.
The European Central Bank has already warned that this is “a window not to be missed.” Christine Lagarde has hinted that the euro could strengthen to the point of becoming a global reserve currency, particularly if new joint debt issuances are used to fund defense spending. Amid growing geopolitical tensions and declining confidence in “American exceptionalism,” the debate over mutualizing European debt is returning with renewed momentum.
Clause 899 effectively acts as a self-imposed competitive disadvantage for the U.S. In a globalized market, such a tax reduces the real returns of American assets and redirects capital flows elsewhere. If Europe accelerates Eurobond issuance and reinforces its fiscal framework, it could turn this American fiscal crisis into an unprecedented geopolitical opportunity.
Building a Eurobond Market
Since the landmark Next Generation EU plan in 2020, the European Union has made steady progress toward creating a joint debt market. By 2025, over €450 billion in debt has been issued, with new rounds under discussion to fund defense, security, and the green transition. This has helped develop a more complete yield curve, improved market liquidity, and strengthened the euro’s role as a reserve currency.
Relative Yields and Monetary Context
Although European bonds offer lower yields than their U.S. counterparts (e.g., the 10-year German Bund yields around 2.5% versus 4.3% for the U.S. Treasury), the ECB’s monetary tightening cycle has moderated. Inflation in the eurozone has fallen below 3%, and interest rates are beginning to decline. This supports the appreciation of long-term European bonds in anticipation of future rate cuts. Additionally, the risk premiums for countries like Italy and Spain have narrowed, reinforcing confidence in European fiscal cohesion.
Rising Foreign Demand
Foreign holdings of U.S. debt have fallen — from 50% in 2014 to about one-third in 2024 — while European debt is gaining traction. According to ECB and BIS data, every €100 billion in foreign purchases reduces yields by roughly 20 basis points, suggesting that continued demand could exert downward pressure on yields in the medium term.
Strong Euro and Yield Curve Management
With the euro on the rise — projected to reach 1.19 USD by 2028 — euro-denominated assets are becoming more attractive to global investors. Moreover, the ECB retains the ability to intervene in secondary markets, preventing excessive yield curve distortions and maintaining financial stability.
10-Year Eurobond Technical Analysis
Between the final quarter of 2024 and March 2025, 10-year Eurobonds staged a steady recovery before stabilizing in a consolidation range between 2.359% and 2.675%, with a current average of 2.512%. The bond’s technical structure signals a bullish trend, supported by a positive moving average crossover, which could push yields toward the upper end of the range.
The RSI currently stands at a neutral level of 52.38, indicating room for further upward movement without entering overbought territory. Additionally, the 2.568% level has proven to be a dynamic support, having rebounded multiple times, reinforcing its significance as a launchpad for further yield increases.
Conclusion
European bonds are experiencing a structural opportunity driven by U.S. fiscal missteps, growing fiscal integration within the eurozone, and a declining interest rate environment. If Europe continues to push joint bond issuances to fund strategic initiatives such as defense, energy transition, and digitalization, Eurobonds could solidify their status as a viable and competitive alternative to U.S. Treasuries.

US10Y (10-Year Treasury Yield) Weekly TF 2025
📊 Chart Context
Current Yield: \~4.50%
Current Structure: Consolidation below major Fibonacci resistance, with multiple breakout and breakdown paths marked by confluence zones.
📉 Key Technical Observations
Bullish Scenario – Yield Rally (Rate Hike Cycle / Inflation Surprise)
TP1 (5.0%): 0.00% Fib level, psychological resistance.
TP2 (6.10%): 38.2% Fib + -27% extension zone.
TP3 (7.70%–7.91%): Major Fib confluence (-61.8% & 48.60% projection)
Bearish Scenario – Yield Drop (Rate Cuts / Recession)
Support 1 (3.91%): 23.6% Fib retracement, key structural demand.
Support 2 (3.22%): 38.2% retracement
Support 3 (2.74%): 48.6%
Support 4 (2.12%): 61.8%
Support 5 (1.33%): 78.6%
Forecast Scenarios (Based on Arrow Colors & Pathways):
Red Boxes & Zones: Critical Resistance / Reaction Zones
These are strong confluence levels that may trigger pullbacks before continuation.
Green Arrows – Bullish Projection with Pullbacks
Scenario A: Price may rally toward the 5.0% TP1 zone but experience a temporary pullback before continuing toward the 6.10% TP2 zone.
Scenario B: After a short-term correction near 6.10%, if bullish momentum sustains, yield may spike toward the 7.70–7.91% TP3 zone.
These movements reflect a stair-step advance with corrective legs between key levels — bullish macro outlook with intermittent risk events.
Pink Arrows – Bearish Pullbacks & Correction Phases:
Scenario A: Initial rejection from current zone (~4.5%) may send yields down to the 3.91% support confluence.
Scenario B: If support at 3.91% fails, yields may further retrace to 3.22% or 2.74%, activating the lower fib retracement zones.
After stabilizing in these zones, a rebound may begin and realign with the broader bullish structure.
These pink arrows suggest that even in bullish macro cycles, the market may correct deeply before resuming its ascent.
Macro & Fundamental Context:
1.Fed Pivot Dynamics: With inflation cooling and unemployment ticking higher, markets price in possible Fed rate cuts by late 2025.
2.Bond Demand Outlook: Recession fears and de-risking scenarios trigger massive flows into long-term Treasuries, pulling yields lower.
3.Global Liquidity Conditions: Lower yields = increased liquidity = favorable conditions for crypto, gold, and risk assets.
4.Hawkish Risk: Any oil shock or CPI surprise can pause or reverse easing expectations, pushing yields up.
Effects on Gold & Crypto (as scenarios play out):
↗ If US10Y Yields RISE to 6% or 7.7% (TP2/TP3)
* Gold: Likely to suffer due to rising real yields; institutional demand weakens.
* Crypto: Bearish; risk assets sell off amid higher opportunity cost and tighter liquidity.
* Dollar (DXY): May strengthen, applying more pressure on gold & crypto.
* Strategy: Favor defensive positioning. Look for shorting rallies or hedge exposures in BTC, ETH, and high-beta alts.
↘ If US10Y Yields FALL toward 3.2% to 2.1% (Support 2–4):
* Gold: Bullish. Lower yields reduce holding costs and boost safe-haven appeal.
* Crypto: Bullish. Liquidity rotation into high-risk assets often follows easing cycles.
* DXY: Likely to weaken, further supporting BTC and altcoins.
* Strategy: Look to accumulate crypto during dips. Gold may offer breakout opportunities.
Rangebound Near 4.5% (Current Zone):
* Gold: Mixed; capped upside until clear direction emerges.
* Crypto: Ranges or whipsaws. Watch for breakout signals from BTC.D and TOTAL3.
* Strategy: Stay cautious. Monitor DXY and macro events for confirmation.

A case for an 8% Higher for LongerThe monthly line chart is starting to look similar to the 2000-2008 timeframe; however instead of a prolonged Bear Flag; it looks like a prolonged Bull Flag in the making. Should that bull flag break to the upside; a doubling of the "pole" could put rates at or near the 8% range. (the dates rhyming could be just coincidental)

Sometime last week I mentioned this “I expect market to reach 4.47% yesterday’s high and making a bold call of 4.539% - 4.541% for the week. This is just a probability based on the price patterns I’m seeing. Resistance at 4.41% and 4.387% And I also mentioned last Friday the heavy news days like NFP or CPI creates moves that are unexpected and would rather stay away. As expected those levels we mentioned were closed through.
Bias
I am expecting previous week high of 4.51% to be targeted. For today if the candle closes through 4.514% I am looking at 4.541 as the next daily target. Wednesday could be the catalyst day when CPI is due to be released along with inflation rate. Another day to stay off for me.

US 10Y TREASURY: will the Fed cut?The jobs market data were in the spotlight of investors during the previous week. The major impact came from the non-farm payrolls posted on Friday, which was better than anticipated with 139K new jobs added. The jobs market in the US continues to hold strongly, which impacts investors anticipation of potential Fed's rate cut during the course of this year. Namely, as the Fed has a dual mandate of keeping inflation at targeted level and exercising full employment, the stronger jobs market might impact Fed's decision to hold reference interest rates at current levels for a longer period of time. The CME FedWatch tool is currently anticipating 100% odds that the Fed will hold interest rates steady at their June meeting. The FOMC June meeting is scheduled for 17th-18th.
The jobs data triggered a strong reaction on the US Treasury market. The 10Y US benchmark yields were pushed to the upside on Friday, from 4,32% on Thursday up to 4,50% on Friday. Usually, after such a strong spike in prices or yields on the market, there is time when the market will consolidate, in which sense, there is a probability that yields will ease to some extent during the week ahead. Still, the market nervousness might continue to the lower extent until the FOMC meeting.

US 10Y TREASURY: eased inflation expectationsTrade tariffs continue to gain a lot of investors attention, but they are slowly turning to actual macro data and inflation expectations in the future period. Uncertainty over the future impact of imposed trade tariffs of the US Administration is still present, but it becomes evident that investors are becoming tired of reactions on tweets, and are much more switching attention to actual data. The University of Michigan Consumer Sentiment final data for May, posted during the previous week, showed moderately decreased inflation expectations for the period of next five years. Data showed that US consumers are expecting five years inflation at the level of 4,2%, which was also below market estimate of 4,6%.
The 10Y US Treasury yields eased a bit during the previous week, currently testing the 4,4% level. The starting weekly point was at 4,53%. Considering the relatively significant drop during the week, there is some probability for the short reversal during the week ahead, at least till the level of 4,5%. It should also be considered that the week ahead macro data will put in focus jobs data and NFP, which might imply a bit higher volatility.
Rising Yields doesn't (always) translate Dollar StrengthThe 30-year Treasure yield pushed above 5%, which should be bullish for the dollar. However, the DXY actually went lower. It seems like investors aren't just looking at yields, they're concerned about why yields are rising. It won't be pretty. If the greenback falls below 99.50, the alarm will go off. The Treasury yields tell the truth about debt confidence. We'll be on the lookout for EURUSD & USDJPY price action next week when NFP comes around. I'm not gonna say it, but I'm leaning towards continued sellside delivery on the greenback.

Market Recap: Week Ending Friday, May 23, 2025
U.S. Treasuries surged early after President Trump’s X post proposing a 50% tariff on the EU, citing stalled trade talks, sparking a flight-to-safety amid growth concerns and tariff uncertainty. The 10-year note yield fell from 4.54% to 4.45%, and the 30-year bond yield dropped from 5.04% to 4.98%. Markets stabilized after a White House official clarified to CNBC that the remark was negotiating leverage, with no actions implemented. Treasury Secretary Bessent, in a Bloomberg TV interview, downplayed rising yields, suggesting they reflect stronger growth expectations tied to the reconciliation bill. Treasuries ended the holiday-shortened week positively, with yields lower across the curve. The U.S. Dollar Index fell 0.8% to 99.13.

$US10Y and $DXY Divergence and correlation breakdownRecent weeks we might have missed some underlying churn in the market dynamics. Recently there has been a clear visible divergence in TVC:US10Y and TVC:DXY in midst of all the noise about the tariffs. Usually with rising TVC:US10Y yield the US Dollar index TVC:DXY rises with it as visible in the chart below. In this blog we have been following the downward slopping channel in the TVC:US10Y and the yield has remained within this tight range of the channel. In our last blog on 02 May 25 we called for a lower TVC:US10Y @ 4%. Seems that call was incorrect and I was wrong. But in this space, we have been asking for a lower $DXY. The TVC:DXY chart is making lower highs and lower lows and in a verge of a breakdown.
So we have higher TVC:US10Y which is capped to the upside @ 4.6% visible from the upper end of the downward slopping channel and we have TVC:DXY making lower lows but the correlation is broken in the recent weeks as shown in the daily chart below. This kind of unpredictable market behavior it’s difficult to forecast equity market direction. TVC:US10Y seems to create headwind for equities but the lower TVC:DXY is good for risk assets like CRYPTOCAP:BTC , SP:SPX and $QQQ. Hence this push and pull will keep the markets range bound for now.
Verdict : TVC:US10Y currently at top of the range, downside more likely ; TVC:DXY continues to struggle and in penalty box.
US 10Y TREASURY: heading higherTrade tariffs once again shaped market sentiment during the previous week. The US Administration announced the intent for introduction of 50% tariffs on goods imported from the European Union, which should become effective from 1st July this year. Market immediately reacted to this news, bringing US equities lower, and surging US treasuries. Another news that hit the market and impacted negatively US yields was that the US House of Representatives adopted a tax and spending bill, which is expected to add trillions of US Dollars to the US debt, as analysts are noting. The US has already been downgraded twice by rating agencies, last week by Moody’s, due to high concerns over the sustainability of the US debt.
The 10Y US benchmark reached the highest weekly value at 4,62%, but eased as of the end of the week to the level of 4,50%. This type of swings in the Treasury yields will most probably continue in the coming period. The market is currently extremely sensitive to fundamentals and any news regarding trade tariffs.
CANADIAN GOVERNMENT 10 YEAR BOND YIELD. CA10YThe Canada 10-year government bond yield (CA10Y) plays a significant role in influencing the Canadian dollar (CAD) in the forex market.the following are key take home .
1. Interest Rate Expectations and Monetary Policy Signaling
The 10-year bond yield reflects market expectations of future interest rates and inflation.
When the CA10Y rises (currently around 3.35%–3.38% in May 2025), it signals expectations of tighter monetary policy or higher inflation, which tends to strengthen the CAD as investors anticipate higher returns on Canadian assets.
Conversely, falling yields suggest easing monetary policy or weaker growth, putting downward pressure on the CAD.
2. Impact on Capital Flows
Higher 10-year yields attract foreign investors seeking better returns on Canadian government debt, increasing demand for the CAD to purchase these bonds.
This inflow of capital supports the Canadian dollar’s value relative to other currencies.
3. Relationship with US Treasury Yields and Interest Rate Differentials
The CAD is sensitive to the yield differential between Canadian 10-year bonds and US 10-year Treasuries.
When Canadian yields rise relative to US yields, the CAD tends to appreciate due to the more attractive yield environment.
Currently, the Canadian 10-year yield is around 3.38%, while the US 10-year yield is higher (~4.5%), which partly explains USD strength over CAD but also highlights potential for CAD appreciation if the differential narrows.
4. Economic Growth and Inflation Signals
The CA10Y incorporates expectations about Canada’s economic growth and inflation.
Recent data shows mixed inflation signals: headline CPI falling to 1.7% YoY but core inflation rising to 3.1%, suggesting the Bank of Canada may maintain a restrictive stance, supporting bond yields and the CAD.
Trade tensions and tariffs create uncertainty, but a resilient Canadian economy and narrowing trade deficit also help support yields and the currency.
5. Bond Prices and Yield Movements
Bond prices move inversely to yields. When yields rise, bond prices fall, which can cause volatility in fixed income markets.
Rising yields may reflect concerns about inflation or fiscal sustainability, but also attract investors, supporting the CAD through increased demand for Canadian assets.
Summary
Factor Effect on CAD
Rising CA10Y Signals tighter policy, attracts capital → CAD appreciation
Falling CA10Y Signals easing or weaker growth → CAD depreciation
Yield differential vs. US Narrowing gap supports CAD; widening gap favors USD
Inflation and economic outlook Mixed inflation supports restrictive policy → supports CAD
Trade and fiscal risks Increase uncertainty, may weigh on CAD
Conclusion
The Canada 10-year bond yield is a key barometer of monetary policy expectations, inflation, and economic health, all of which influence the Canadian dollar’s value. Rising yields generally strengthen the CAD by attracting investment and signaling tighter policy, while falling yields suggest the opposite. The yield’s interaction with US Treasury yields and broader economic fundamentals shapes CAD movements in current times .
