Market Inflation Expectations Holding Near Lows With CPI Eyed Next Week

US
  • Today’s significant two-step rally following payrolls and ISM services has been reflected in real yields, with breakevens seeing much smaller moves (5Y -2bp, 10Y -1.5bp).
  • That is however after recent sizeable declines for breakevens, with the 5Y of 2.23% nearing early Oct’22 lows that in turn were the lowest since early 2021 and significantly below ~3% before the start of the Ukraine war.
  • This has seen significant compression towards the 5Y5Y breakeven of 2.17%, a more typical long-run level and indeed Bullard’s presentation yesterday noted that inflation expectations are consistent with the 2% inflation goal.
