US 10Y TREASURY: relieved tensions, for the moment

Much of the tension collected for the last month has been relieved after the FOMC meeting. The Fed left interest rates unchanged, as was expected and also there were no surprises when it comes to the future course of inflation and potential Fed moves. However, Friday was a game changer, as the US President announced implementation of new import tariffs for goods coming from Canada, Mexico and China. Although the 10Y Treasury yields reached the 4,48% on Thursday, still, Friday news reverted the course of yields to the upside, bringing them to the level of 4,58%.

It will certainly take the next week until markets digest all new information regarding tariffs and its potential effect on the US economy. This also might have implications on the future course of inflation and also in the last instance, to Fed interest rate decisions in the future. For the week ahead, it should also be taken into account that non-farm payrolls and unemployment rate are scheduled for a release, in which sense, market volatility might continue.
