Yield Curve Bottom (10s minus 2s)  Long

US10Y-US02YTVC

Description

This is called the "Steepener" trade and refers to a mean reversion in the yield curve. From current level of (-38 basis points, or -0.38%), I'm targeting a move back to 1.00%, or ~70bp, risking down to about (-45bp), or about (-13bp) downside.

Yield curve steepeners seek to gain from a greater spread between short- and long-term yields-to-maturity by combining a “long” short-dated bond position with a “short” long-dated bond position, while a flattener involves sale of short-term bonds and purchase of long-term bonds.

A pennant formed between August - September 2023 that could have been used as a launching pattern to get a "head start" on the bigger setup, too
