« QOTD | Main | Cognizant Tech CEO » June 29, 2010 The Ten-Year Treasury Drops Below 3%There's not much to add that this chart doesn't already say:
The yield on the ten-year Treasury (^TNX) has fallen below 3% which it hasn't done since the height of the financial crisis (roughly, November of 2008 to April 2009). The Dow is at 9900. I ran the numbers and found that the Dow currently yields 2.9%. Assuming the overall dividend number isn't cut, the Dow needs to gain, on average, 10 points a year for the next 10 years to match what the 10-year is offering. Either stocks are very cheap or Treasuries are way too expensive (or possibly both). As I've said before, the 10-year Treasury has a major impact on stock prices.
