Intermarket Alert: Crude + Yield Curve + DollarCrude Oil (Brent & WTI) is approaching long-term descending trendline resistance on the daily chart.
At the same time:
• US 2Y–10Y yield spread is rebounding toward resistance
• DXY is attempting to turn higher again
This combination matters.

🔎 What This Means
1️⃣ Crude at resistance
If rejected → inflation pressure cools → supportive for risk assets.
If breakout sustains → inflation risk re-emerges → margin pressure for equities.
2️⃣ Yield spread near resistance (-0.60% zone)
If steepening continues → growth expectations improving (risk supportive).
If it fails here → recession narrative resurfaces.
3️⃣ Dollar rising again
Stronger USD = tighter global liquidity
Pressure on EM equities, metals, and risk assets.

⚠️ Risk Scenario
If:
Crude breaks above trendline
Yield spread breaks resistance
DXY continues rising
→ That combination could become a liquidity + inflation double pressure setup.
→ Potential setback for equities, especially EM and high beta sectors.
