The long bond verdict is finally in. Jobs and growth outweigh inflation.
US Treasury Yield Notes
-
Between August 5 and August 21, bond yields for US treasuries of 2 year duration or longer all rose.
-
The period between August 21 and September 2 was very painful for 30-year long bond holders but favorable for the rest.
-
Starting September 2, there was a bond market rally across the board.
Treasury Yield Changes Since September 2
What Happened?
-
The ISM report on September 2 showed weak hiring.
-
The BLS JOLTS repot on September 3 revealed unemployment was above job openings for the first time since the pandemic.
-
The ADP report on September 4 was weak, especially small businesses.
-
The nonfarm payroll report on September 5 was a disaster.
The trend on the 10-year treasury note and the 30-year long bond are back in sync. Both are headed lower.
The discrepancy resolved to job weakness over inflation concerns, but Powell will be cautious unless there is a collapse.
