Key Quotes

“The 10Y US Treasury yield has been caught in a tight trading range ahead of the FOMC meeting today. Hence, the continued rise in US inflation as we saw yesterday did not change the direction/outlook for the US Treasury yields”.

“Given that the rate hike is a done deal, we need to see a significant change in the communication from the Federal Reserve in order to get 10-year yields rising. This is not on the cards and thus we expect that 10Y US treasury yields will continue to trade around 3%”.
