Global Long-Term Rates Down & CPI Monthly Indicator Today

  • Growing political unpredictability in the U.S. and easing interest rates globally continue to put downward pressure on the yield curve.
  • The U.S. 10-year yield fell by 8 basis points overnight, and interestingly, despite safe-haven buying, the U.S. dollar is down.
  • This raises the question of whether all the disruptive tariff talk and uncertainty may be driving investors away from U.S. exceptionalism.
  • Today, markets will digest the first CPI print for the quarter. This data point is often taken with a grain of salt, as it does not capture the full basket and is overweight towards the goods component.
