After bouncing from 2.55% support yields US 10-year Treasury yields were rejected at the short-term upper falling trendline in what seems like a falling channel. To get upside traction a break above the trendline and above 2.88 is needed. If that plays out resistance at 3.11
2.50 is the level to take out for test of 2.31 support.
On the US 10-year Treasury future itself the picture is clearer. Rejected at 122 Bearish Engulfing candle formed on the 2nd August which signals top and reversal. A close below the lower rising trendline is likely to fuel a sell-off down to key support at 117 18/32.
RSI has broken below its rising trendline and if RSI closes below 40 it is back in negative sentiment. That scenario could play out before the future breaks below key support.
Euro Bund future was rejected at the resistance at 159.79 (peak was a few cents off at 159.70). Still trading in a rising channel i.e. in an uptrend. However, a close below the lower rising trendline and below 154.75 is likely to reverse the trend. Some support at 153.50 and major key support at 149.75.
No divergence on RSI but if RSI closes below 50 it could be an indication of a reversal of the trend, nevertheless. As can be seen 50 has (at least past few months) historically been a pivot for Bull/Bear trends.
To extend the current uptrend a close above 159.79 is needed.
AI: The good, the bad, and the bubble
While a deep recession may not be iminent thanks to central bank policy, interest rates will have to stay high for longer, and this will be accompanied by volatility risk from the unwinding of bubbles, especially within AI.

The emergence of advanced AI systems is by far the most surprising event this year, turning everything upside down, while risks and benefits are debated. AI will also become an arms race between the US and China.

As China navigates global fragmentation, its cycle of technology application, productivity enhancement, and growth is threatened by US breakthroughs in generative AI, limited computing power, and geopolitical tensions.

Japan’s expertise in semiconductors and robotic integration could be the foundation of AI dominance. Combining two of this year's themes, Japanese equities and artificial intelligence, brings a wave of opportunities.

The AI fever has turned the technology into a darling, pushing crypto further into no-man’s-land. There are striking similarities between AI and crypto, and if these are to come full circle, AI won't be spared for bubbles.

Stocks related to artificial intelligence (AI) have appeared on investors' radars. Expectations are high, but it may be necessary to consider how to get exposure to AI in a diversified way.

The USD is on its back foot as markets celebrate an eventual Fed rate peak and steady long US yields. The stakes are even higher for the Japanese yen if longer major sovereign yield curves have to price in economic acceleration.

While commodities, broadly speaking, have faced some tough months, a partial reversal during June could signal that the asset class is getting back on its feet with energy holding up and precious metals with upside potential.

As inflation remains high central banks face hard decisions about whether they should keep hiking interest rates or stop. Meanwhile, the rise of AI creates bubble-like conditions that only make the decision harder.
