US Treasury yields remain under selling pressure and reached fresh one-month lows
“The dollar is under pressure as US Treasury yields continue to fall. That on the 10-year note is currently at 1.51%, its lowest in a month. Meanwhile, equities are also in the red, indicating a tepid market’s mood.”
“Japan published May Machine Tool Orders, which rose a whopping 140.7% YoY, and Money Supply for the same month which was up by 7.9% YoY. The US session will bring minor figures, as the country will publish MBA Mortgage Approvals for the week ended June 4 and April Wholesales Inventories.”
“The main support level is 108.90, with bears taking over on a break below the level.”
