Bonds cracking, what it means for the euro

Bonds and stocks both selling off today.

US bonds are lower for the seventh consecutive day, with the decline accelerating for the seventh day.

It's a global phenomenon. It's not a big surprise to see periphery yields moving higher because of the drama in Greece but German 10-year yields have turned sharply higher in the past couple hours, rising above 0.50% from 0.42% earlier.

German 10-year yields

In the US, 10-year yields are up 5.4 basis points to 2.19%.

The last time we saw this swift rise in yields, it was evidence of bond trades being unwound and that spilled over into euro strength as hedges were taken off.
