Monday, 8 April 2024, 10:12
Key Takeaways:
Some interesting points from ING about 10-year yields, and the risks they see that could take us back to 5%.
Current Cycle Analysis:
- Market rates have remained steady post-Fed's rate peak, unlike previous cycles.
- Historically, market rates tend to increase temporarily when the Fed cuts rates.
Contrary to expectations, the 10-year yield has not decreased significantly, partly due to a relative shortage of longer-dated Treasuries from the pandemic-induced holdings.
Future Outlook:
- Uncertainty surrounds whether the Fed has peaked, delaying a potential rate cut confirmation.
- Anticipated inflation readings may further pressure 10-year yields, possibly leading to a retest of 5%.
- The data ahead of the Fed's June meeting will be crucial in determining market movements.
