Treasury bond yields reaching critical juncture

The yield on the 30-Year Treasury Bond is now over 4.60% and the 10-Year Treasury Note is yielding 3.75%.

It was just at the last bond auction that the T-Bond was 4.49% and sold at 4.52%, and the 10-Year’s yield was a mere 3.20% on November’s closing yield. Most traders will look at the prices of the on-the-run bond futures rather than an outright yield, but that inverse relationship between price and yield is always present.

These rising yields might not be a major concern on the surface and when considering we are in the holiday trading with lower market participation.
