What I am Watching Today – Rates, DAX, Copper, and USD/JPY

Markets continue to watch interest rates climbing as a sign of stress, and it can have an effect on how risk appetite shows itself.

US02Y Technical Analysis

Daily candlestick chart of the US 2-Year Treasury Yield (US02Y) showing an uptrend toward 4.81%, positioned above its rising 50-day and 200-day EMAs, alongside a 10-year yield comparison indicator.
US 2-Year Treasury yield holding near 4.81% above key EMAs, reflecting persistent stress in interest rate markets.

The 2-year rate in the United States continues to be something I watch for signs of trouble. Ultimately, this is a market that shows that we still have quite a bit of stress out there, although it is fairly quiet today on Monday. Nonetheless, elevated rates do cause some issues for various risk appetite-based assets out there and are something that you need to be watching.
