Article Summary
SELL- Treasury yields rose after wholesale inflation data came in weaker than expected, reinforcing expectations of a rate cut from the Federal Reserve.
- The yield on 10-year Treasuries edged higher toward 4.30%, while the dollar extended early losses and stocks gained.
- Traders see roughly 30% chance of a quarter-point reduction in borrowing costs in 2026, down from at least two cuts before the war began, while inflation expectations have risen significantly as the conflict has curtailed exports from the Strait of Hormuz, a narrow stretch of water that carries about a fifth of world's oil and liquefied natural gas.
- The International Monetary Fund downgraded its growth projection for the year after the war triggered a major oil shock and included the possibility of a downturn if the conflict drags on and energy infrastructure is severally damaged.
- Consumer inflation rose the most on a monthly basis since 2022 in March, driven by a surge in gasoline prices.
