As treasury bond yields (interest rates) rise, treasury bonds prices fall.
And that is the current state of the market for the past several weeks… along with war, geopolitical tensions, rising oil, and elevated commodity prices.
The 20+ year treasury bonds ETF (TLT) is nearing an important support level ($85) – the August pivot. And while support reside just below at $83-$84, it is fair to say that has fallen to important support.
If this band of supports (call it $83-$85) gives way, then we can expect lower treasury prices, and much higher treasury yields (interest rates).
