Yields on 10-year US Treasury bonds are hovering around 4.17% little changed from last week’s levels, with investors eagerly awaiting the US CPI (inflation rate) report, which will be released at 1:30pm GMT today.
Inflation is expected to be lower again, reinforcing expectations of an interest rate cut by the Fed this year. Investors have largely stopped counting on a March rate cut, for which the odds are now around 16%, while the chance of a May easing is around 56%.
We can expect high volatility at the time of the US data release. There is a noticeable divergence on the usually highly correlated charts of US 10-year bond yields and USDJPY. With US10Y yields relatively stable, the USDJPY chart is setting new peaks. This could signal a correction on the USDJPY. A lot will become clear after the US data.
A divergence has emerged between the US10Y yield and the USDJPY, a possible correction on the USDJPY. Today’s US inflation data will clarify the situation on these correlated pairs.
