US 10Y TREASURY: it`s clear to the market

Based on the moves from Treasury yields during the previous week, it seems that Fed's rate cuts are coming. This is what the market is saying, however, we still need this input from the Fed. At this moment, it is irrelevant whether it will be at March`s FOMC meeting or later within the course of this year, the important thing is that the market is now certain about it. Still, what we do not know at this moment is how many rate cuts will occur. The 10Y benchmark rates dropped down during the week from 4.31% down to 4.18%. This was a significant move toward the downside, which sent a signal over market certainty.

In a week ahead it could be expected that the market will test the 4.20% level. A move toward the lower grounds could be questioned at this moment, taking into account fundamentals set for a release within a week ahead. There are non-farm payrolls for February and unemployment rate data, which could bring back some volatility on the market. There is also Fed Chair Powell testimony on March 6th, which the markets will watch very closely. However, based on current charts, there is a low probability that yields could go back to previous levels, they will rather oscillate around 4.20% levels.
