Given the sharp moves we've seen in the US Treasury market over the last several days, we updated our trading range charts of major international 10-year government bond yields. In each chart the blue shading represents 2 standard deviations above and below the yield's 50-day moving average.

As shown below, the sharp declines have not been confined to just the US. In five of the six countries/regions highlighted, yields have fallen sharply over the last two weeks. The only country without a sharp decline is Japan, but with yields already sporting a "one handle," rates there can't get much lower.
