Gennadiy Goldberg of TD Securities argues the long end is being pressured by supply, demand, and an unclear Fed reaction function, making him cautious on 10-year Treasuries over the next three to six months with a possible test of 5%. He sees the Fed's base case as holding rates, but says the bar for a September hike is low and any hiking cycle would flatten the yield curve materially. Longer term, he expects 10-year yields to hover near current levels and not break above 5%, with real rates attractive.
- Long end under pressure from supply, demand, and Fed uncertainty.
- Short-term caution on 10-year Treasuries with a possible 5% yield.
- Fed base case is to hold, but September/October hike risk is low bar.
- Data triggers cited: 4% unemployment, 150k-200k payrolls, 0.35%-0.4% core PCE.
- If the Fed hikes, he expects 50-75 basis points and curve flattening.
- 5% on the 10-year is viewed as a line in the sand with real rates attractive.
