Interpretation & Use

A rising 10Y yield often precedes tighter financial conditions and can pressure equities and risk assets. A falling yield indicates easing conditions and risk-on potential. Automations can use trend_30d or the summary field directly to infer whether the macro backdrop is tightening or loosening without needing additional data sources.
