Treasury Curve Direction

Treasury direction (daily change)

ZN
-0.81%
ZF
-0.54%
ZB
-0.84%

All bars share the same scale. The horizontal line shows today’s % change. When all lines move in the same direction, Treasury markets are aligned.

When all maturities point in the same direction, the Treasury move is considered broad and macro-driven.

Why curve alignment matters

When all Treasury futures (ZN, ZF, ZB) move in the same direction, trading becomes easier and more reliable.

  • If all instruments are up or down, the move is usually macro-driven and has higher follow-through.
    Aligned
  • When one contract moves against the others, it often slows down or invalidates the trade idea.
    Mixed
  • In aligned markets, one contract can act as a leading instrument, while the others confirm.
    Confirmation

Curve alignment helps reduce conflict between instruments and increases the probability of directional trades.
