Morning Briefing The US yields are also down sharply post the FED minutes of the 1-2nd May released yesterday. The 30Yr (2.80%), 10Yr (2.38%), 5Yr (2.18%) and 2Yr (2.22%) have fallen sharply from yesterday’s levels of 2.85%, 2.40%, 2.23% and 2.26% respectively instead of testing higher levels mentioned in the yesterday’s edition. While the long term downtrend remains intact, we could see some interim corrective upmoves in the next 3-4 sessions.
