Warning Shot Across the Bow for the US Dollar

From Bloomberg News: Dollar to Decline as 10-Year Yields Rise: Technical Analysis Share Email Print A A A By Oliver Biggadike April 29 (Bloomberg) -- The dollar will probably decline should 10-year Treasury note yields rise “decisively” above 3.06 percent, Citigroup Inc. said in a report citing trading patterns.

This is happening just as the US Federal Reserve prepares to wind down stimulus and starts to drain dollar liquidity from global markets, an inflexion point that is fraught with danger and could go badly wrong. “This looks like to me like 2007 all over again, but even worse ,” said William White, the BIS’s former chief economist, famous for flagging the wild behaviour in the debt markets before the global storm hit in 2008. “All the previous imbalances are still there.
