US Treasury yields continue to grind higher after the recent bout of hawkish Fed-speak ahead of a closely watched US inflation report. The CPI release is expected to show that price pressures are easing in the US but the speed, and the make-up, of this downturn will steer the US dollar, and a range of risk markets, over the weeks ahead.
The yield on the interest rate sensitive US 2-year US Treasury is back above 4.50% and back at levels last seen in late November. The sharp post-NFP rate re-pricing has seen the short-date rally by over 40 basis points as traders factor in a more hawkish Fed in the months ahead.

The yield on the benchmark US 10-year has also risen and currently changes hands around 3.77%. The 2s-10s curve inversion of 76 basis points is a fraction off the multi-year 80bps seen recently. Inverted yield curves highlight recessionary fears in the months ahead.

Top Trading Lessons
The recent move higher in the US dollar has stalled ahead of tomorrow’s inflation report but the technical set -up suggests that this move may not yet be finished. The bullish flag formation made over the last 10 days normally suggests a further move higher and a confirmed break of 103.60 will leave prior horizontal resistance around 104.30 the next level of interest. Above here the January 6 lower high at 105.36 comes into play.
