US10Y1. Labor Market Data
Average Hourly Earnings m/m:
Actual: 0.3%
Forecast: 0.3%
Previous: 0.2%
Interpretation: In-line with forecast and slightly above the prior period, indicating stable wage growth. This suggests inflationary pressures from labor costs remain steady, not accelerating unexpectedly.
Non-Farm Employment Change:
Actual: 73,000
Forecast: 106,000
Previous: 14,000
Interpretation: A clear downside surprise; job gains are well below expectations, and while up from a low previous period, this points to softening labor demand—an early sign of slack in the job market.
Unemployment Rate:
Actual: 4.2%
Forecast: 4.2%
Previous: 4.1%
Interpretation: Matches the forecast but marks a slight uptick, reinforcing mild labor market weakness.
Fed View: The Fed will interpret softer than expected job growth and a higher unemployment rate as evidence of easing labor market pressures—a dovish signal that could support future policy easing if the trend continues.
2. Manufacturing and Industry
Final Manufacturing PMI (S&P Global):
Actual: 49.8
Forecast: 49.7
Previous: 49.5
Interpretation: Slightly above forecast but still below the 50 threshold, indicating contraction persists but is less severe.
ISM Manufacturing PMI:
Actual: 48.0
Forecast: 49.5
Previous: 49.0
Interpretation: Below both forecast and prior; contraction in the manufacturing sector is deepening.
ISM Manufacturing Prices:
Actual: 64.8
Forecast: 69.9
Previous: 69.7
Interpretation: Lower than both forecast and previous, signaling input price pressures are easing—positive for the Fed’s inflation outlook.
Fed View: Ongoing contraction in manufacturing and lower input prices support the argument that inflation risks are cooling from the supply side, allowing for a more dovish stance.
3. Consumer and Construction
Revised UoM Consumer Sentiment:
Actual: 61.7
Forecast: 62.0
Previous: 61.8
Interpretation: Slightly below forecast, little change—consumer confidence remains relatively subdued.
Construction Spending m/m:
Actual: -0.4%
Forecast: 0.0%
Previous: -0.4%
Interpretation: Same as previous, misses forecast—ongoing weakness in construction and real estate investment.
Fed View: Weak consumer sentiment and persistent soft construction data reinforce slower demand-side dynamics, an argument in favor of pausing or even cutting rates.
4. Inflation Expectations
Revised UoM Inflation Expectations:
Actual: 4.5%
Forecast: Not directly listed (prior 4.4%)
Interpretation: Ticks up slightly, indicating that consumers expect inflation to remain higher. This could temper the Fed’s willingness to cut rates too soon—if expectations become unanchored, the Fed may have to stay hawkish.
Overall Fed Interpretation
Labor market: Softer than forecast, unemployment up—dovish for rates.
Manufacturing/industry: Slight improvement in PMI, but ISM shows contraction; input prices are easing—dovish.
Consumer/construction: Little improvement, still weak—dovish.
Inflation expectations: Up slightly—potential hawkish caution.
Net result: The data is mostly dovish—except for the higher inflation expectation which remains a concern. The Fed will likely see this data as supporting a “watchful pause” and adopt a more flexible stance: no immediate rate cut, but the case for easing is growing unless inflation expectations keep drifting higher. Sustained weak jobs or further easing in prices would increase the chances of a rate cut in coming months. Elevated inflation expectations will keep the Fed cautious about acting too quickly.

US Treasury 10Y Technical Outlook for the week July 28-Aug 1 US Treasury 10Y Technical Outlook for the week July 28-Aug 1 (updated daily)
Overnight
Overnight, U.S. Treasury yields reversed their upward trend and traded lower as investors awaited key developments from the Federal Reserve’s upcoming policy meeting and ongoing U.S.-China trade talks. The benchmark 10-year Treasury note yield fell to 4.35%, a decrease of 2 basis points, while the 30-year bond yield dropped to 4.92%, down 3 basis points. This shift followed a period of elevated yields driven by concerns over potential inflationary pressures from proposed U.S. tariffs. Market participants were particularly focused on the Federal Reserve’s stance on interest rates, with futures markets indicating a likely rate cut in September. Additionally, trade negotiations in London between U.S. and Chinese officials added uncertainty, as economists anticipated that tariff-related disruptions could push the Consumer Price Index higher, potentially impacting future Fed decisions. The market’s cautious mood was reflected in a light economic data calendar, leaving room for yields to react to trade and Fed-related headlines.
Economic Release for the Week www.myfxbook.com
Weekly Bias
As expected last Monday we were anticipated that 4.395% will be mitigated. Basing on how the market moved last week and the week closing through below previous week low I am anticipating a continuation to target 4.33% to 4.322%. Bear in mind though that this week’s FOMC meeting could generate a significant volatility and become a catalyst to our projection.
Daily Bias UST 10y July 29
Overnight
The yield on the 10-year US Treasury note remained steady at approximately 4.39% for the third consecutive session as investors awaited a critical week of monetary policy and economic data. The Federal Reserve is expected to maintain current interest rates at its Wednesday meeting, with markets keenly observing for indications of a potential rate cut in September. Investors are also focused on the upcoming Personal Consumption Expenditures report, the Fed’s preferred inflation measure, which may reveal the impact of tariffs on price dynamics. Additionally, a series of labor market data releases, culminating in Friday’s closely watched monthly jobs report, will draw significant attention. On the trade front, a recent US-EU agreement has reduced tariffs on most EU exports to 15%, down from a previously threatened 30%, alleviating some trade-related uncertainty.
Economic Release July 29 www.myfxbook.com
Daily Bias
Basing on price action I am anticipating market to test the previous day high of 4.42%. Market is also waiting for the start of the FED meeting which could contribute to low volatility for the meantime. Although market is expecting no move but any deviation from policy expectation could create high volatility.
Daily Bias UST 10y July 30
Overnight
Overnight, U.S. stock markets experienced a downturn, with major indices like the S&P 500, Dow Jones Industrial Average, and Nasdaq Composite declining ahead of anticipated Federal Reserve announcements. The drop was primarily driven by uncertainty surrounding potential interest rate decisions and ongoing trade tensions, particularly following President Trump’s recent tariff policies. Concurrently, U.S. Treasury yields, including the 10-year note, fell to 4.28% from 4.35% the previous day, reflecting investor caution and a shift toward safer assets amid economic concerns. This market reaction underscores heightened sensitivity to Federal Reserve actions and the broader implications of trade disruptions on global economic growth.

Cautious positioning kicks in and all our anticipated targets were all missed instead market moved to our weekly bias of 4.33% and old week low of 4.322%. This is expected on an FOMC week due on Thursday morning. With how the market moved yesterday I am anticipating a further test on the low side of previous day range but don’t discount any volatility with GDP due to be released later tonight . tradingview.sweetlogin.com
Daily Bias UST 10y July 31
Overnight
The yield on the 10-year US Treasury note rose to 4.35% on Wednesday, rebounding from a near-one-month low of 4.32%, as markets evaluated the Federal Reserve’s decision to maintain interest rates and its neutral stance on future policy moves. Strong US GDP growth of 3% in Q2, exceeding market expectations, was tempered by distortions from net foreign demand due to import front-loading. Volatile trade data reflected new tariffs imposed by President Trump on India and Brazil. The Treasury announced stable issuance volumes for notes and bonds but plans to double long-end nominal buybacks and increase TIPS buybacks, aligning with efforts to manage long-end yields, as outlined by Secretary Bessent.
Economic Release July 31 www.myfxbook.com
Daily Bias
Prior to FOMC decision the yield moved higher (price lower) and retraced to the 50% range of the prior day’s range (Tuesday). Today I would like to wait if the market would continue the bullish move of Tuesday. We are on an inside candle pattern so I would like more confirmation for the next move.

Crude Oil Spikes - Russia / Ukraine / USA sanction? Concerns about the possibility of tighter global oil supplies are supporting crude prices after President Trump warned of "secondary sanctions" if Russia fails to reach a ceasefire in Ukraine within 10 to 12 days.
These sanctions have absolutely burned the shorts in oil and can cause a 3 bar surge on the daily chart if crude breaks this channel.
Keep you eye on the daily 200 MA...if it holds above we should push higher on crude.
FOMC RATE DECISION TOMORROW - Tune into our live stream.
US05Y Bullish ideaWe can see we had rejection after taking out our sell side liquidity and balancing our daily fair value gap. We are still showing strength in the bond market as well with the dollar index. Our DOL is to the upside in the form of buyside liquidity and our daily volume imbalance at 4.073%.
* Fundamentals: We are having a rise in inflation and a stronger interest rate of the dollar against most of the major basket currency pairs, which in the longer term should potentially see us get a stronger dollar and an increase in our bond yields.
US 10Y TREASURY: FOMC week During the previous week investors were digesting the latest macro data aiming to set expectations for the forthcoming FOMC meeting, which is scheduled for Wednesday, July 30th. The 10Y Treasury yields were moving between 4,32% and 4,44%, closing the week at 4,38%. The drop in yields during the second half of the week was impacted with a trade deal between the US and Japan. Negotiations with the EU are taking place during the weekend in Scotland, whose outcome will be known at the start of the week ahead.
Regardless of trade negotiations, the week ahead will bring a lot of currently important US macro data, as well as the FOMC meeting. Current expectations with 95% odds is that the Fed will keep interest rates unchanged in July. Also, it is expected that Fed Chair Powell will inform the public about the latest Feds members view on the US economic developments. In case of any information that the market still has not priced, the higher volatility will take place. For the week ahead, there is both probability for a further modest relaxation in yields, at least till the level of 4,35%, and also potential for testing of 4,4% for one more time.
Bond Bulls Smell Blood: 20-Year Yields Likely to Fall🧩 Fundamental Bear Case for 20-Year Yields
1. Recession Risk and Slowing Growth
Leading economic indicators (e.g., ISM Manufacturing, Conference Board LEI) continue to suggest softening demand across key sectors.
A recession or significant slowdown would drive capital into long-duration Treasuries, causing yields to fall as bond prices rise.
Historically, 20-year yields fall 200–300bps from cycle peaks during recessions. With yields near 5%, there is ample downside room.
2. Federal Reserve Policy Pivot
The Fed’s hiking cycle appears to be at or near its terminal point. Rate cuts in 2025 are increasingly priced in, especially as inflation moderates.
If inflation continues to decelerate toward the Fed’s 2% target while growth slows, the Fed may be forced to ease sooner or more aggressively than expected.
Long-duration bonds, including the 20Y, are highly sensitive to forward rate expectations and would benefit from a dovish pivot.
3. Disinflationary Trends
Core inflation metrics (e.g., Core PCE, Core CPI) are in year-over-year decline.
Key disinflationary forces:
Wage pressures have eased as labor markets normalize.
Housing costs, which lag in CPI data, are projected to fall further.
Supply chain normalization continues post-COVID.
These factors reduce the need for elevated long-term yields, especially with inflation expectations anchored.
4. Supply-Demand Dynamics Favor Treasuries
Despite large Treasury issuance, global demand remains strong:
Foreign buyers (e.g., Japan, EU) seek higher yields as their home rates remain low or negative.
U.S. institutions (pensions, insurance funds) are rebalancing into risk-free long bonds amid equity volatility.
A risk-off rotation or broader de-leveraging cycle would only accelerate this demand.
🔍 Technical Summary
Rising wedge pattern is nearing a potential breakdown — a bearish structure signaling exhaustion.
Price is failing to reclaim the previous uptrend channel, now acting as resistance.
A completed harmonic AB=CD pattern near recent highs suggests a mean-reverting move could be imminent.
Closest technical targets include:
4.33% (23.6% Fib)
3.68% (38.2% Fib)
Possibly even 3.16% (50% retracement) over the next 6–12 months if macro weakness persists.
📌 Bottom Line
The combination of:
Cooling inflation
A Fed pivot on the horizon
Rising recession risk
And technical exhaustion signals
Supports a bearish outlook for 20-year yields, meaning bond prices (especially long-duration instruments like TMF or TLT) could appreciate meaningfully from here.
The Bessent Effect: Part I-Challenge the FedThe Bessent Effect: Part I-Challenge the Fed
Originally posted on June 30th, 2025, but it was removed by a moderator — I misinterpreted the posting guidelines (I tend to read a little too deep between the lines sometimes).
For context, the original version didn’t include the White or Green lines.
June 30th post:
The 10-year Treasury yield is the heartbeat of commercial lending — it’s what sets the tone for everything from real estate financing to economic sentiment. And interestingly, it’s now hovering right around the same level it was on Election Day 2024 (Blue Line), which feels like a lifetime ago in policy terms.
So what’s happened since then? Quite a bit.
Yields peaked the week before Inauguration Day (Red Line), then began a steady decline — until we were hit with what can only be described as "Liberation Day Tariff Whiplash."
The tariffs, announced in early April (Yellow Line), spooked the markets — particularly the ever-watchful Real Money Investors (think central banks, pension funds, and the ruthless whales). Their reaction? A spike in the 10-year, as they scrambled to reassess risk and reposition.
Plot twist: Trump’s unleashing of Scott Bessent.
Since stepping into the role of Treasury Secretary, Bessent has taken the reins of U.S. economic diplomacy. By late May (Purple Line), he was already deep in talks at the G7 meeting in Banff, hashing out trade dynamics and currency cooperation with global finance leaders. And — perhaps not so coincidentally — since then, the 10-year has been on the decline again, even as the Fed remains firm in its refusal to cut rates.
Here’s the big takeaway: there's a strong chance we could see rates — the ones that actually move the real estate market and reflect how the “real players” feel — drift back down to their pre-tariff levels. That is, before Tariff Derangement Syndrome set in. And probably before they shoot back up to the peaks we saw just as Trump returned to the White House.
In short: the 10-year might be hinting that the worst isn't over — but we could be in for a stretch of green pastures before we hit the next storm.
Yield Spreads Warning About the Secular Bull MarketAre we in the final innings of the current secular bull market that emerged from the robust injection of liquidity in response to the 2008 Financial Crisis? Yield spreads are giving us a warning and one that should not be dismissed. Yield spreads show (shorter to longer in lighter blue to darker blue) a spread that has been shrinking, for quite some time. The yield curve has been inverted for a while too. As we tread these dangerous waters, one has to wonder, when and where will the next event to cause a credit contraction come from? Is it a bubble? Can it be AI, Credit, geopolitics, currency based? Something will distress the credit markets and, as long as the yield spread remains shrunken, this event will almost certainly cause a recession. TVC:US02Y PYTH:US10Y TVC:US30Y SP:SPX
US 10Y TREASURY: June data cools rate cut hopesThe US inflation and jobs data shaped investors sentiment during the previous week, where 10Y US Treasury yields eased as of the end of the week. The US inflation remains relatively steady and in line with expectations, with 0,3% increase in June or 2,7% y/y. The producers price Index was holding at 0% in June, while the University of Michigan inflation expectations also eased to 4,4% for the year and 3,6% for a five years inflation expectations. June Retail Sales surprised the market with a 0,6% increase for the month.
At the start of the week, 10Y yields reached their highest weekly level at 4,49%, and took a downturn during the second part of the week. The lowest weekly level reached was 4,41% on Friday. As US macro data remains relatively robust, the current market expectations for a rate cut in July are almost diminished. Traders now expect any rate cuts to be delayed to September or later. As per CME FedWatch Tool, odds for September rate cut slipped from 70% down to current 50%. As the week ahead does not bring any currently significant macro data, it could be expected that also 10Y Treasury yields could have a relatively calmer week. It will be used for digesting current macro data and to gear up for the last week of July, when the next FOMC meeting is scheduled.
UST 10Y Technical Outlook for the week July 21-25 (updated dailyUS Treasury 10Y Technical Outlook for the week July 21-25 (updated daily)
Overnight
On Friday, the yield on the US 10-year Treasury note slightly declined to 4.44%, driven by investor reactions to the latest University of Michigan Consumer Sentiment data and remarks from Federal Reserve Governor Christopher Waller. The consumer sentiment index rose in July, accompanied by lower inflation expectations for both short- and long-term horizons. Waller expressed support for a potential rate cut in July, indicating he might dissent if the Federal Open Market Committee chooses to maintain current rates. However, market expectations remain focused on no rate changes this month, with two quarter-point cuts anticipated in September and December. Earlier data highlighted robust consumer spending through strong retail sales, alongside softer-than-expected core CPI and PPI figures.

Weekly Bias
For the week I am expecting last weeks low of 4.395% to be mitigated to previous old low of 4.322%. I am basing this assumption based on the price action last week and how the weekly candle closed weekly (pin bar). Will start the analysis on daily bias on Tuesday.

$US10Y - $US02Y Inversion and $NDX Drawdowns Since 1989I cleaned the chart a bit for readability.
The chart shows historical inversions in the TVC:US10Y and TVC:US02Y and the drawdowns in the NASDAQ:NDX that followed. The implication is that we should expect to see a >50% drawdown within 4 months. I'm not calling the "why" but only drawing parallels to historical price action following bond market environments.
My current interpretation is that we're headed for stagflation - interest rates will be stickier than consensus takes driven by market uncertainty and increasing energy prices. The Trump administration seems to be pushing for policies that would alleviate pain from stagflation. The next revolution in technology promises massive productivity gains with respect to efficiencies in money transfers and back-end business operations in general. Unemployment will continue to rise as automation begins to increase.
The market will take time to find its bearings (upskilling and learning curves for employees and employers).
The Ai boom requires energy - more than we currently have capacity for. Companies will have to finance this build-out with vast sums of money. The reward will take time to harvest. Pain in the real economy will dampen consumption for a while.
Price action in Ai and technology companies has outpaced realized gains - we are at the front-end of this curve, much like the dotcom bubble.
Speculative bubbles like BITSTAMP:BTCUSD represent a direct threat to control over monetary policy for the reserve currency and hegemony. I am still very long USA (Dollar Milkshake). CRYPTOCAP:BTC has real value for struggling economies eclipsed by the majors, but for holders of this asset in the western world, large gains in CRYPTOCAP:BTC would necessarily depend on the collapse of civilization as we know it, implying a logical paradox for people that expect outsized returns. CRYPTOCAP:BTC.D demonstrates the loss of share of market cap well.

$NDX Black Swan Correlation of Variance from 0% of $US10Y $US02YIt appears that since 1989, deeper inversions of the yield curve have led to deeper drawdowns in the $NDX. Relative strength always appears to be in a steeper move upward coupled with fuzzy signals in volatility before the drawdown. Based on the previous market crashes, anything from a 60% to 90% drawdown appears to be plausible.
Currently buying long-expiry OTM put verticals across tech meme names (think NASDAQ:PLTR ) and potentially on some stalwart Mag7 tickers (maybe NASDAQ:META ) for pennies for potentially massive risk/reward paydays. Nothing more than a few grand, but I'm also long exposure to battery materials, hydrogen, and other energy plays. NASDAQ:ABAT NASDAQ:PLUG AMEX:WWR NYSE:LAC NASDAQ:ENVX NYSE:CHPT AMEX:LEU NYSE:SMR

CPI y/y 2.7% 2.6% 2.4%
Empire State Mfg Index 5.5 — -8.3
Market Reaction: US 10-Year Treasury Yield
Yield Movement:
The US 10-year Treasury yield rose sharply to 4.495% on July 15, 2025, up from 4.43% the previous market day—a gain of 7 basis points.
Immediate Cause:
This jump occurred as the inflation data, while showing softer core CPI than forecast, delivered a higher-than-expected annual CPI (2.7% y/y vs. 2.6% forecast) and robust CPI m/m. Additionally, the Empire State Manufacturing Index rebounded strongly, further supporting concerns over persistent price pressures and economic momentum.
Market Interpretation:
Investors increasingly scaled back expectations for near-term Federal Reserve rate cuts, causing a sell-off in Treasuries and pushing yields higher.
Persistent inflation—especially with annual CPI running above consensus—suggests the Fed may need to keep rates higher for longer, amplifying bond market volatility.
The improved manufacturing sentiment also fueled the belief that the US economy remains resilient, reinforcing the hawkish read on interest rates.

US10Y jumped by 7 bps to its highest level in five weeks after the mixed inflation report and strong manufacturing data.
Investor sentiment shifted toward fewer and later Fed rate cuts as inflation proved more stubborn than forecast.
The yield reaction underscores ongoing sensitivity to inflation surprises and economic resilience in 2025.
The bond market’s move highlights that even minor upsets to the inflation outlook can quickly ripple through rates, especially when compounded by positive growth signals.

Overnight
On Friday, the US 10-year Treasury note yield increased by nearly 4 basis points to approximately 4.39%, driven by market concerns over new tariff threats from President Trump. These include a proposed 35% tariff on Canadian imports starting August 1, 2025, and planned 15-20% tariffs on most other trading partners, up from the current 10%. Additional tariffs include 50% duties on Brazilian imports and copper, alongside formal notices to other key trading partners, intensifying trade tensions. Despite these developments, the US Treasury reported strong demand for its recent auctions, with $22 billion in 30-year bonds and $39 billion in 10-year notes. On monetary policy, markets anticipate the Federal Reserve will maintain current interest rates at its next meeting, with expectations of two 25-basis-point rate cuts by the end of 2025.

US 10Y TREASURY: tariff tensions rattle bonds During the previous week there has not been important US macro data scheduled for a release, however, news regarding tariffs has been the ones which shaped investors sentiment and also, US bond yields. It was indeed a no-clear-direction trading week when it comes to 10Y Treasury benchmark yields. The week started with a strong move to the upside, from 4,32% up to 4,39, then there was a push back, while yields ended the week at 4,41%. News regarding tariffs were the ones that shaped Friday's sentiment on the market.
Saturday brought news that the US Administration is implementing tariffs of 30% on goods imports from Europe and Mexico. This information is still not reflected in market yields, but will certainly be with the start of the trading week on Monday. Aside from tariffs news, the week ahead brings some important US macro data, like June inflation, PPI and University of Michigan Consumer Sentiment on Friday, implying that another volatile week is ahead.
