US Treasury Yields Fall but Long-End Yields Still Expected to Rise

The US Treasury market experienced a decline in yields on Wednesday, with the 10-year yield falling about 9 basis points to 4.534%. However, experts at ING predict that long-end Treasury yields will continue to rise despite this short-term decrease.

Tax cuts and concerns over the budget deficit are expected to drive up long-term borrowing costs. The Federal Reserve is also likely to keep its target range for the federal funds rate unchanged at 4.25%-4.50%, according to market expectations.

However, some experts believe that the Fed may err on the side of caution due to uncertainty over the neutral rate level. Generali Investments' senior economist Paolo Zanghieri notes that the central bank's statement and post-meeting press conference will be more dovish than expected, following better-than-expected news on inflation from recent CPI prints.

Despite this, long-end Treasury yields are still expected to rise due to concerns over inflation and economic growth. The 10-year US Treasury yield has fallen about 10 basis points to 4.524%, according to Tradeweb.
 
I'm telling you, something's off here... like that short-term decrease in yields is just a temporary distraction. I mean, think about it, the Fed is still keeping rates steady at 4.25-4.50% and they're not exactly known for being dovish. And what's with Paolo Zanghieri saying they'll be more dovish than expected? That just sounds like a way to manipulate the market, if you ask me 🤑. But seriously, I think there's still something brewing here, maybe some hidden factors that no one's talking about...
 
I'm kinda puzzled by the whole thing, you know? Like, yeah short-term yields are down, but in the long run, people expect them to go back up. It's like when you're trying to plan a party and everything goes smoothly for a while, but then you realize you forgot to order enough pizza 🍕😅. Tax cuts and budget deficits can be like that, always looming over us.

And don't even get me started on the Fed, I mean I'm not saying they're gonna mess it up or anything, but what if they do err on the side of caution? 🤔 That would kinda throw a wrench into things. On one hand, we've been expecting some rate hikes to keep inflation in check. On the other hand, there's this thing called "neutral rate" that nobody really understands 🙃.

Anyway, I guess what I'm saying is that Treasury yields are all over the place right now and it's kinda hard to predict what's gonna happen next ⏰.
 
omg, i'm so stressed out about the interest rates lol!!! they're like, going back and forth like a yo-yo 🤯. i was all excited when the short-term yield went down, but now i'm worried it'll just bounce back up 📈. i mean, tax cuts and budget deficits are making everyone go "oh no", and the Fed's not saying much about changing the interest rate range 🤔. Paolo Zanghieri is like a lifesaver, tho! his prediction that they might be a bit too cautious with their statements is kinda reassuring 😌. anyway, i'm just gonna keep my fingers crossed that everything stays stable for now 💕. long-end Treasury yields? no thanks, let's not even think about it 🚫
