Treasury Yields Rise in July as Fed Cut Seen Elusive
1538 ET – Treasury yields rise for the month as markets grow more concerned about the impact of tariffs and the Fed looks increasingly unlikely to cut interest rates soon. Economists surveyed by WSJ expect July's jobs report tomorrow to print 100,000, down from June's 147,000, with unemployment rising to 4.2% from 4.1%. August payrolls will also be published before the next Fed meeting. Markets are pricing another hold, according to CME. Inflation is expected to remain sticky. Nuveen forecasts July core CPI, due August 12, at 2.9%. The 10-year rises 0.133 percentage point in July, to 4.360%. The two-year adds 0.230 p.p. to 3.952%. ( @ptrevisani) 0909 ET – Fresh U.S. labor and inflation data support a longer Fed hold, but Treasury yields struggle to recover from an overnight decline. June's 12-month PCE inflation accelerates to 2.6% from 2.4% in May. Weekly jobless claims tick higher to 218,000 from 217,000. In other words, inflation remains above target and employment isn't collapsing. The Fed held rates unchanged yesterday, as expected, and Chair Powell said data will drive its next decision, in September. Another hold is priced at 61% odds, according to CME. The 10-year yield is at 4.347% and the two-year at 3.938%. ( @ptrevisani)
