Goldman Sachs strategists see scope for a higher 10-year yield but how high depends on the type of trade deal. Increases will also be curbed by the fact central banks are unlikely to raise interest rates. Some strategists have said yields are in an uptrend. "Our positioning metrics suggest risk of a near term selloff — this is particularly likely on positive catalysts, such as tariff rollbacks. Other risks include spillovers from a strong environment outside the US. However, we would view large selloffs driven by either of these factors as a tactical opportunity to set longs," the Goldman strategists noted.
Briggs said he does not see an uptrend in yields and sees the 1.75% to 2% zone on the 10-year yield as a "buy the dip zone."
