CHART OF THE DAY: The US Treasury Market Massacre
With today’s move, 10-year yields are now the highest they’ve been in two years and are hovering right around a key technical level, as the chart below shows.

It’s a commodity massacre, too
Gold is, of course, the big story in the commodity space today – it’s down a spectacular 5.2% this morning. Silver is getting crushed though, too – down 6.3%. Platinum is down 2.0% and palladium is down 3.3%.
Oil is taking it hard as well. Right now, WTI crude is trading around $96.00 a barrel, down 2.6%. Brent crude and gasoline are also down 2.6%.
Corn, wheat, soybeans, coffee, sugar, and cotton are all down between 1.5% and 2.4%.
The dollar is strengthening virtually across the board this morning, and a lot of commodity producer and emerging market
currencies are taking a hit as well.Read more: http://www.businessinsider.com/its-a-commodity-massacre-too-2013-6#ixzz2WlX0jRJt

“Rare to see every futures market I follow down,” tweeted bond trader Ed Bradford.
