Watching for a correction in US yields - ANZ

"That’s still our strategic bias, but we are mindful that we will have to see a technical break back above the ~2.30% level that added fuel to this recent move before the economics will come back into focus. It could be a while away.'
"Commodities were broadly higher as “risk-on” returned amid more positivity towards Trump’s tax reform plan and infrastructure spending program."
