A drop below 2.60% would indicate a run to safety with a corresponding decline in equities. A rise above 3.00% would indicate an improvement in the U.S. economy and an end to quantitative easing. This could also result in a decline in equities.

The price of the bond and the yield have an inverse relationship.
