This unusual move in the bond market appears to be signaling interest rates are about to break out
The U.S. 10-year has been trading in an unusually tight range for 14 sessions, a sign it may be ready to break out in one direction or other. In five prior periods since 2013 where yields traded on a narrow band of 12.6 basis points or less, the 10-year yield broke higher in four of those five instances. The 10-year is the U.S. benchmark rate used to price a variety of business and consumer loans, including home mortgages.

Stock investors should not fear the inverted yield curve, strategist says
An inverted yield curve may not be a dreaded harbinger of doom for the bull market, according to Ryan Detrick, senior market strategist at LPL Research, who believes that stocks have awhile to go before worrying about unseemly yield curves or even a recession. An inverted yield curve, where long-term yields such as the 10-year Treasury yield drop below their shorter-term peers, symbolizes a lack of confidence in the economy. It has also emerged as a closely watched early warning signal for economic trouble, particularly in the wake of research from the San Francisco Federal Reserve that every U.S. recession in the past 60 years was preceded by an inverted yield curve.

FOREX-Flows, sentiment lift dollar towards 1-year highs
The dollar rose towards a one-year high on Wednesday in the wake of bullish comments from U.S. Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell about the strength of the U.S. economy. In his congressional testimony on Tuesday, Powell said he believed the United States was on course for years more of steady growth, and he played down the risks to the U.S. economy of an escalating trade conflict. "The recent dollar moves has been a bit baffling and the only reason may be short term flows and sentiment are supporting the greenback," said Richard Falkenhall, a senior currency strategist at SEB in Stockholm.

* U.S. yield curve retests flattest level in over a decade * U.S. two-year yield climbs to highest in nearly 10 years * Fed's Powell sees more jobs growth, tame inflation * Futures imply traders see 89 pct chance of Sept rate hike (Recasts lead, updates market action, adds quote) By Richard Leong NEW YORK, July 17 (Reuters) - The U.S. two-year Treasury yield rose on Tuesday to its highest level in nearly a decade, with the yield curve at its flattest in nearly 11 years, as Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell's upbeat remarks on the economy supported traders' view of more rate hikes.

Jerome Powell Heads to Capitol Hill as Market's Best Recession Gauge Blinks Red
Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell will begin his first of two days of testimony to lawmakers on Capitol Hill Tuesday in Washington, but while tech stocks have driven the Nasdaq to fresh record highs, and the economy looks to record its best quarterly growth rate in nearly four years, he's still likely to express at least some concern for one of the market's most-trusted prognosticators: the shaped of the so-called yield curve. Formally known as the "term structure of interest rates", but more often referred to as the "curve", the different between short and medium-term bond yields is one of the more accurate forecasters in global finance. For much of the past fifty years, an "inverted curve" -- which occurs when 2-year note yields rise past those for 10-year Treasury bonds -- has preceded nearly every U.S. economic recession.

Dow logs third straight gain, but Nasdaq, S&P 500 sink as energy slump offsets bank rally

5 key ways Wall Street and economists think about the yield curve
The yield curve has captured Wall Street—and to a lesser extent Main Street’s—attention in recent weeks. The past nine recessions have been preceded by the inversion of the curve, where short-term Treasury rates exceed their long-term counterparts. Much of the breathless attention on the shape of the curve has centered on the tightening gap between the 2-year (BX:TMUBMUSD02Y) and 10-year Treasury yields (BX:TMUBMUSD10Y) But there are other key pairs that can signal how investors are thinking about where the economy is headed from here.

The U.S. Yield Curve Is Sending the Right Signals: David Ader
When it comes to assessing the outlook for the U.S. economy these days, the discussion usually starts with the bond market’s yield curve. The curve is signaling that the market thinks the Federal Reserve’s interest-rate increases, which are driving short-term yields higher, will not only slow inflation, but could also tip the economy into recession, causing long-term yields to go nowhere or even fall. The point is that the yield curve is not just a signal, but something that could actually weigh on the economy.
