Report first recorded Oct 23, 08:12
Jurrien Timmer, Director of Global Macro at Fidelity Investments, stated that the rise in yields this year was multi-factorial, including sticky structural inflation and mounting fiscal risk, rejecting a simpler narrative involving growth and AI capital spending worries. Last week, the 10-year Treasury yield pulled back 14.6 basis points, though it briefly touched 5.33% after the October 14 report. While the recent CPI reading showed annual inflation at 3.7% against 3.6% expected, current market sentiment suggests little pressure for the Federal Reserve to raise rates at its October 27-28 meeting, with CME Group’s FedWatch putting the odds at 17.2%.
