Yields higher, jabs faster, inflation expectations lower

Monday 15th March 2021Bonds yields rose sharply again on Friday, with 10 year Treasuries reaching their highest level since February last year. NAB’s Tapas Strickland says the inflation break-even component actually fell slightly, as the Michigan Consumer Sentiment survey showed inflation expectations had fallen slightly.

The FOMC will be the main focus this week, along with Aussie retail sales and employment numbers. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
