Banking Sector Woes Propel Treasury Rally, Rate Cut Forecasts Treasury yields saw a significant drop on Thursday, driven by a continued downturn in U.S. financial stocks, which fueled trader speculation of an accelerated timeline for Federal Reserve interest rate cuts. The five-year U.S. Treasury yield decreased by up to 9 basis points, reaching its lowest point since June at 3.75%. This movement reflects a growing anticipation among traders for a more substantial total reduction in Fed interest rates throughout the year, with swap contracts even hinting at the possibility of rate cuts commencing as early as March. This shift in expectations comes despite Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell’s recent remarks suggesting such moves were unlikely in the near term. « Previous Article Next Article » Share This Article Choose Your Platform: Facebook Twitter Google Plus Linkedin Related Posts Mined Commodities May Push Higher on Structural Trends: Expert READ MORE Incrementum: Monthly Gold Compass February 2024 READ MORE Invesco Strategist Predicts Multiple Reductions in 2024 READ MORE Central Banks Increase Gold Holdings by 44 Tons in November READ MORE Silver Will Be GONE In The Blink Of An Eye…There's A LOT LESS Than People Think!
