Government bond yields and interest rates have been rising all around the world. And investors aren’t quite sure what to make of it.
Perhaps there is some complacency that has set in after years of falling yields / interest rates.
BUT, today’s chart highlights why investors should be paying attention to government bond yields right now!
Below is a “monthly” chart of the German 10-year government bond yield. And, as you can see, yields have been in a downtrend marked by each (1) for more than 40 years.
That said, yields have rallied sharply and are currently testing the top of the falling channel at (2).
Odds are decent that what happens at (2) will impact bonds around the world. So stay tuned!
