U.S. Treasury Yields Rise Ahead of Key October CPI Inflation Data
U.S. Treasury yields increased on Tuesday morning as investors prepared for the release of the October Consumer Price Index (CPI) data. The 2-year yield rose over 6 basis points to 4.6136%, while the benchmark 10-year yield climbed to 4.882%. Market participants are searching for signs that inflationary pressures are cooling, with economists forecasting a slowdown in both headline and core inflation compared to September figures. The upcoming inflation reports, alongside Friday's wholesale data, are expected to heavily influence Federal Reserve interest rate policy. While markets have largely priced in a 25 basis point hike for December, recent strong employment data has added complexity to the outlook. Meanwhile, oil prices fell below $90 per barrel following comments from President Donald Trump regarding potential de-escalation in Middle East conflicts.
