Market-implied expectations for inflation over the next 10 years are slipping closer to the Federal Reserve’s 2% target. The 10-year breakeven rate has decreased from 2.5% in October to roughly 2.14%. The debate on whether inflation can be successfully contained is ongoing, with analysts divided on the issue. Some believe that inflation will continue to fall as consumer spending habits change, while others point out the slow progress in bringing price gains back to normal levels. However, there is a growing consensus that inflation will reach a long-term equilibrium level of around 2%. Bond yields are expected to decline in line with falling inflation and slowing economic growth. The next major U.S. inflation report will be released next Tuesday, which will provide further insights into the current inflationary environment. Treasury yields are holding steady ahead of the November nonfarm payrolls report, and stock indexes are higher.
