US Government Bond 10 Year Yield Weekly Candlestick Chart

The 10-year Treasury bond is one of the most widely watched securities as it sets the benchmark for almost every other interest rate in the U.S. economy, from the cost of financing corporate debt and mortgages to credit card balances.

This chart does not show any confidence in the near-term growth prospects for the US economy. Nor does it show any confidence in the ability or will of the EEC to solve the Greek debt crisis.

Candlestick chart shows the near-term uptrend

The NASDAQ is still in a good position for another test of major resistance at 2,880. There needs to be an increase in volume and a convincing two-day close of around 2,940. This would indicate an intermediate target of 3,160.
