What is Antevo watching at the long end of the curve?

A screen level tells you where the market is marked. An auction tells you where it clears when someone has to actually take the paper. When the long end is the risk, the auction is the observation.

The reference point on the watch list is the 5.21% screen level the long bond held on 13 August, while the five-year was falling on soft producer prices. A clearing yield materially above that would say the term premium is being demanded rather than quoted, which is the mechanism behind the high-impact long-end risk on this radar.

It sits alongside the other physical-evidence items the brief prefers to headlines: daily Hormuz transit counts, weekly American stock changes, and war-risk quotes.
