10-Year Treasury Yield Hits 4.60% as Fed Rate-Hike Bets Rebound

3 articles · Updated · TradingView · Jul 16

Summary

  • The 10-year US Treasury yield climbed to 4.60% on Thursday, nearing the July 13 two-month high of 4.62% as traders again priced in a Federal Reserve rate increase this year.
  • June retail sales stayed firm after adjusting for lower fuel turnover, while initial jobless claims fell to their lowest level in more than two months, reinforcing signs of economic resilience.
  • US-Iran attacks also pushed benchmark fuel prices higher, reviving energy-inflation worries that had already helped drive sharp price increases since March.
  • That mix of sticky inflation risks and a strong labor backdrop aligns with the FOMC's own projection for one rate hike this year and marks a reversal from Wednesday's softer producer-price signal.
