  • 10-year Treasury yields trade near five-month lows
  • Investors betting on easing inflation and potential interest rate cuts
  • Yield on 10-year Treasury falls to 3.873%

U.S. bond yields fell as investors bet on easing inflation and potential interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve. The yield on the 10-year Treasury dropped to 3.873%, trading near five-month lows. This comes as inflation has eased to 3.1% in November, creating a pathway for central banks to ease off on restrictive policies. Markets are pricing in the possibility of a rate cut in March 2024, with the Fed’s main rate expected to be at least down to a range of 3.75% to 4.0% by December 2024.
