A 20-Year Look At The 30-Year Treasury Bond
Doug Short | Nov 22, 2013 02:32PM ET
In my periodic Treasury update, I focus primarily on the 10-year yield and include a look at the 30-year fixed mortgage rate. The 10-year Treasury Note has been around for a long time. The , for the 30-year Treasury Bond going back 20 years. The left side below shows the 30-year price index, the right side the yield. Floyd has annotated the two with support and resistance.
Floyd included this comment:
Here is a closer look at the 10- and 30-year daily closing yields since the onset of the Financial Crisis. Both hit historic lows in July of 2012. Subsequently the 10-year hit an interim closing high of 2.98% on September 5th. The 10-year hit an interim high of 3.90% ten sessions earlier and matched that high this past Wednesday, dropping one bp at yesterday's close. The 10-year closed yesterday 19 bps below its interim high.
These will be interesting to watch in the days and weeks ahead.
