The July monthly close in 10-year futures edged through rising trendline support, a level aligning with a 4.0% yield (highlighted with the yellow shaded ellipse). Is Treasury weakness through the end of July a precursor of continued selling and a blowout in yields? The CME's FedWatch Tool shows only a 20% probability the Federal Reserve hikes in September. Given resilient growth in the U.S. and shrinking Initial Jobless Claims, are those odds too low? The fear would be this probability rises to 50%. In such a case, 10-year futures would have incurred continued selling, finding added weakness due to the trend line break. Although there is additional support from a trendline from March 2002 and the Q4 2007 rally that will try to buoy selling, the Treasury complex is at a critical inflection point and a continued breakdown (or rising yields) would become a direct headwind to the risk-landscape, likely creating downward pressure in equity indices and precious metals.
In the coming days, ISM Non-Manufacturing data for July is released Thursday at 9:00 am CT. This measures the services sector which has been extremely resilient and a source of stubborn inflation. On Friday, Nonfarm Payrolls for July are due at 7:30 am CT. The job market as remained tight, supporting wages, another factor of inflation. If these data points come in hotter than expected, one would imagine the 10-year sees continued selling. Regardless of the outcome, traders must keep an eye on 10-year futures in order to keep a pulse on the risk-landsacpe.
