US Treasury Yields Plunge to May Lows Amid Inflation Data Anticipation

Yields Hit Lowest Since May

On Thursday, the yields on two-year and five-year US Treasury bonds experienced a significant decline, marking their lowest levels since May. This movement comes as investors eagerly await the release of new producer inflation figures, scheduled before the US markets open.

Market Reaction to Inflation Data

Market participants are also digesting the latest consumer inflation data, which revealed that annual inflation remained steady at 2.7% in July. This stability has somewhat alleviated concerns regarding the potential economic impact of global tariffs.
