Jump In Real Yields Keeps Inflation Breakeven Under Control

US
  • The front end of the Tsy curve took the brunt of the CPI sell-off but 5Y and 10Y nominal yields have also been pushed higher by large increases in real yields (5Y +10bps, 10Y +6bps), weighing on risk assets and supporting the USD whilst helping the Fed by tightening financial conditions.
  • At 1.02% (session high of 1.06%), the 5Y real yield is at levels last seen in late 2018 and before that 2011, keeping a lid on the inflation breakeven for a 4.5bp increase to 2.60% -- that's within 10bps of post-Ukraine war lows and therefore relatively well-anchored, despite the continued strength in potentially persistent inflation components.
