A sharp rally in Treasuries last Thursday helped clear out resistance on the rally to 112-16+, and prices have gained again Tuesday, topping out at 112-19. Much of this week’s strength comes off the back of the break of the 20- and 50-day EMAs, with 112-22 the next notable resistance. This week’s price action challenges the bearish M/T condition - and only a reversal lower here and break of 111-09, the Jan 20 low, can resume the bear cycle.

Prices bounced again Thursday, supported by strength in global bond markets and a smoother inflation picture at the December CPI print. As such, prices edged further away from recent lows. Nonetheless, slower pricing for additional RBA easing - and partial pricing for a return to rate hikes in 2026 - should keep the front-end of the curve under pressure. This keeps prices well below prior resistance at 96.615, the Sep 12 high, and refocuses attention on 95.480 as the next major support.
