U.S. Treasury yields ticked higher on Friday as investors digested fresh consumer sentiment data and a tame inflation print.<\/p>\n
The 10-year Treasury yield rose more than 3 basis points to 4.151%, while the\u00a02-year Treasury<\/a>\u00a0yield was up more than 2 basis points at 3.485%. The\u00a030-year Treasury<\/a>\u00a0bond yield\u00a0increased more than 2 basis points to 4.826%.<\/p>\n One basis point is equal to 0.01%, and yields and prices have an inverse relationship. <\/p>\n The University of Michigan reported Friday that consumer sentiment rose less than expected<\/a> in December, coming in at 52.9 and marking a climb from the 51.0 November reading. Economists’ consensus estimate called for a result of 53.5, per Dow Jones.<\/p>\n “Year-ahead inflation expectations decreased for the fourth consecutive month to 4.2%,” said Joanne Hsu, Surveys of Consumers director. She added that while this is the lowest reading in 11 months, it’s still above the 3.3% reported in January.<\/p>\n Investors are still weighing up a lighter-than-expected inflation reading<\/a> from Thursday, after the consumer price index rose at a 2.7% yearly rate in November, Economists polled by Dow Jones expected CPI to have risen 3.1%.<\/p>\n The delayed Bureau of Labor Statistics report also showed that core CPI, which excludes volatile food and energy prices, increased 2.6% yearly, and had been forecasted to increase by 3%. <\/p>\n The downward trend in inflation gave investors some hope that the Federal Reserve will lower rates in 2026. While odds for a January rate cut remain low, traders are pricing in a nearly 56% chance of a March reduction, according to the CME Group’s\u00a0FedWatch<\/a>\u00a0tool. This was up from around 53.9% on Wednesday.<\/p>\n \u2014 Fred Imbert contributed to this report<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Traders work on the floor at the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) in New York City, U.S., Nov.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":194153,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[11],"tags":[1577,933,114,357,1675,184,2784,85,46,2972,76118,66482,3309,34468,4316,66481],"class_list":["post-194152","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-economy","tag-bonds","tag-breaking-news-economy","tag-business","tag-business-news","tag-economic-events","tag-economy","tag-government-debt","tag-il","tag-israel","tag-prices","tag-treasury-bills","tag-treasury-notes","tag-u-s-10-year-treasury","tag-u-s-2-year-treasury","tag-u-s-economy","tag-u-s-treasury-bonds"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/194152","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=194152"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/194152\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/194153"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=194152"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=194152"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=194152"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
