In just 4 years, the trend (and investment theme) of low interest rates has been turned on its head.

During this time, home and auto loan rates have gone from consumer-friendly to unfriendly.

Quite frankly, whether you look at the 10-year or 30-year treasury bond yield, both are rising. Today we look at the latter.

Above is a long-term quarterly chart of the 30-year Treasury Bond Yield . Using applied Fibonacci, we can see that the 30-year yield spent nearly two years testing the 23% Fibonacci level.

This quarter yields are attempting to breakout above the 23% level. The next upside Fib level comes into play at 6.5%. That’s not what consumers, businesses or economists want to hear.

In my humble opinion, this is a very important chart to be mindful of. Let’s see how yields close this quarter. Stay tuned.
