The confluence of the 100 and 200-day shifting averages at 4.191% to 4.208% is holding yields in a decent grip. That contemplating that merchants have little by way of financial knowledge and headlines to work with through the week.
However after discovering a double-bottom after which a double-top, yields are actually put in a spot the place merchants should dig deep to justify their convictions.
