The US Treasury yields rose higher on Thursday following the September inflation report, bolstering the US Dollar's strength against its counterparts. Although the US Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that the year-on-year Core Consumer Price Index (CPI), excluding food and energy fluctuations, decreased to 4.1% from the forecasted 4.3% in September, underlying details revived expectations for a more aggressive Federal Reserve rate hike by year-end. The so-called 'core inflation' surged by 0.6% monthly, indicating persistent challenges in taming inflation.
