Real Yields Lead Initial Tsy Move Post-Payrolls

US TSYS

The sharp rise in yields immediately post-payrolls was led by real yields, with inflation breakevens also making up ground lost since Powell's comments yesterday.

  • Decomposing the 10-Yr nominal yield move +6bps at one point: 10-Yr real yields up ~4bps) and B/Es up ~ 2bps. Indicative of stronger economic outlook, higher inflation, and tighter Fed policy in light of stronger-than-expected jobs data.
  • That said, real yields have now fully reversed the knee-jerk move (bringing nominal yields back below 1.60%) though breakevens are holding their gains. We'll see how it settles down but that's the opposite of the move during Powell's commentary when real yields kept rising and breakevens faded. Perhaps suggesting this time that the market believes the Fed could go a little bit more dovish after all?
