Key quotes
“The yield on the benchmark 10-year Treasury note stands at 1.60%, not far from its YTD high of 1.62%. The greenback started the week down amid weekend news indicating progress in the US stimulus bill and spurring some risk-appetite. Nevertheless, equities edged lower in Asia, while European indexes hold within positive levels but retreating from intraday highs.”
“USD/JPY is overbought but still bullish. The pair could reach the 109.00 level should yields keep rising, but the risk of a bearish corrective decline increases if the rally extends beyond that level.”
