Real Yields Slide To Bolster Risk Sentiment Despite Weaker Data

US
  • Pricing for a Fed stepdown to 50bp clips in Dec may have largely reversed a move lower after sharper declines in house prices (despite further misses for manufacturing activity and consumer confidence), but the terminal is cut to 4.90% in May’23 (-5bp) and 4.54% for Dec’23 (-8.5bp).
  • This lower rate path has weighed on 10Y real yields, which despite rising off session lows to 1.55% are still down -10bps, set for the largest daily decline since Oct 3.
  • The decline in real yields would have been larger but the breakeven has also fallen -5bps to held it broadly stabilise this week after a string of increases have pushed it above 2.5% from circa 2.15% at the turn of the month.
