A little bit oversold, otherwise, this looks like this may crack violently, leaving all the dividend yield chasers and junk bond bubble leveragers bewildered.

And here is a bonus chart...

10 year yield and SPX dividend yield are now about even. The difference is with treasuries you get principal back. With SPX its anyone's guess.

The difference is with treasuries you get principal back.

Then one might want to "run to the safety" of treasuries if given the choice?

I'm not bearish on treasuries, but that chart does look suspect, considering volume. However between the shrinking deficit and Fed purchases the supply of new issuance isn't overwhelming. And they will definitely find buyers, especially from Japan.

Japaneese bond market is getting halted just about every day now due to massive selling and yields spike. And all that money is flowing out of JGB's and out of Yen into the US dollar.

JGB's are now yielding 1%. Funny fact... at 3% yield all taxes collected by Japaneese government will go to cover interest on JGB's.
