10Y Treasury Yields Top 2.00% As Greek ‘Compromise’ Trial Balloon Sparks Risk Rally

(Before It's News)

While “sources” have yet to confirm anything about an extension for Greece (and some have actually denied it – Italy's Padoan “hasn't seen any plan yet”), US Treasury yields are rising (10Y back above 2.00%), and risk assets rallying in Europe and US. Greek stocks are up over 7% today (taking them up 2% on the week) but Greek bank bonds remain lower on the week (despite today's rally). US equities are sceptically rallying on the back of USDJPY momo ignition, auctioned up to pre-payrolls stops.

European stocks are drifting higher but only Greece is super-excited…

But Greek bank bonds – perhaps the most sensitive asset to Greek bailout – has not recovered yesterday's losses…

But US Treasury selling continues…

And US equity buying – supported by USDJPY – auctions stocks up to the payrolls level
