description: "Prescient analysis indicates that high Brent oil prices historically correlate with lower US 10-year yields over the following year. Specifically, in the top quintile of expensive months, yields fell by an average of 28 basis points, whereas they rose by 20 basis points in the cheapest fifth. When oil exceeded trend by 1.5 standard deviations, yields were lower a year later 65% of the time. This pattern is attributed to oil mean reversion and growth impacts from energy costs, though February 2022 serves as a notable exception."

# Prescient says expensive oil historically signals lower US 10-year yields over next year

-   Prescient analysis flagged a historical pattern: expensive Brent oil has tended to precede lower US 10-year yields over 12 months. \* In the priciest fifth of months, US 10-year yields fell 28 basis points on average; in the cheapest fifth, yields rose 20. \* When oil was more than 1.5 standard deviations above trend, 10-year yields were lower a year later 65% of the time. \* Study attributed the effect to oil mean reversion and a growth hit from high energy costs, supporting longer-duration positioning. \* Report cited February 2022 as a key exception, when an oil spike coincided with 10-year yields rising more than 200 basis points.
