Treasury Yields Waver

2025-12-09 11:33 By Joana Taborda 1 min. read

The yield on the US 10-year Treasury note was little changed around 4.16% on Tuesday, holding near its highest levels in about a month, as traders awaited fresh labour-market data and the start of the FOMC meeting.

The delayed JOLTS report is due today, while the weekly ADP figures will also offer additional insight into labour-market conditions.

The Fed is widely expected to cut the federal funds rate by 25 bps tomorrow, but investor attention will focus on the updated dot plot and projections for next year.

Money markets are now pricing in barely two rate cuts for 2026.

Political developments also weigh on market sentiment.

While President Trump is expected to nominate a Fed Chair aligned with his dovish policy stance, market participants are wary that a new Chair could overextend rate cuts to accommodate political pressures.

US 10-Year Yield Surges 30bps This Week
The yield on the 10-year US Treasury note was at 5.15% on Friday, holding a 30bps surge on the week as evidence of high inflation consolidated bets of more rate hikes by the Federal Reserve. The latest PPI data showed that headline and core annual inflation rates are at their highest in three years, maintaining the hawkish pressure from the hot CPI released earlier in the week. The rise in core consumer prices indicated that the surge in energy prices was impacting other areas of the economy, driving FOMC members to signal that higher rates are warranted. Meanwhile, Treasury yields in the belly of the curve surged after Jensen Huang resigned as president and CEO of Nvidia, sparking fears of turmoil in the debt-laden AI sector. Because Nvidia has anchored and backstopped a massive wave of AI-related corporate bond issuance, a sudden freeze in the sector's credit activity risked triggering broader fixed-income selloffs as investors liquidated positions.

US 10-Year Yield Holds at Three-Week High
The yield on the 10-year US Treasury note held above 5.1% on Friday, hovering at three-week highs amid growing expectations for a faster pace of Federal Reserve policy tightening. The upward move followed hotter-than-expected US consumer inflation data and hawkish remarks from Fed officials, with some policymakers suggesting that a larger 50-basis-point rate increase may be needed to bring inflation under control. Markets are currently pricing in around an 85% probability of a 25-basis-point rate hike in December, while the likelihood of a larger 50-basis-point increase stands at around 15%. Investors are also increasingly anticipating further rate hikes next year. Market participants are now awaiting US PPI data for additional insights into inflationary pressures. Meanwhile, oil prices rebounded as President Donald Trump declared that the US no longer needs a deal with Iran, adding to upward pressure on Treasury yields.
