Intermediate uptrend with support at 1.900%
Intermediate uptrend for the U.S. Treasury 10 Year note with support at 1.90%

U.S.Treasury 10 Year Note 1-Year Chart courtesy of BigCharts.com

The U.S. Treasury 10 Year Bond is one of the four asset classes that I monitor which include stocks, bonds, commodities and currencies. The intermediate uptrend for the 10 year bond yield (bond price and yield have an inverse relationship – bond price drops then the yield rises) represents the increased movement of capital from the relative safety of this U.S. Treasury to stocks and to a lesser extent, commodities.
