Strong US economic outlook buffers stocks against rising yields -Goldman

By Lewis Krauskopf NEW YORK (Reuters) – A strong economic outlook is helping U.S. stocks weather a rise in Treasury yields, though that could change if factors such as tighter monetary policy drive yields higher or if they move up too fast, Goldman Sachs strategists said. The S&P 500 and 10-year Treasury yield had been negatively correlated – meaning they have moved in opposite directions – since long-term yields began rising last July, Goldman equity strategists led by David Kostin said in their latest weekly kickstart note. The S&P 500 sold off sharply over that period as yields marched to

US Treasury yields flat until June, fall in second half: Reuters poll

By Sarupya Ganguly BENGALURU (Reuters) – U.S. Treasury yields will trade around current levels over the coming six months before falling later in the year, according to bond strategists polled by Reuters, suggesting markets were fully priced in for Federal Reserve interest rate cuts. Since peaking at 5.02% in October, the benchmark U.S. 10-year Treasury note yield fell over 120 basis points and finished 2023 roughly where it started. Bond bulls drove the yield, which moves inversely to prices, lower by front-loading pricing of about 150 bps of interest rate cuts this year following a perceived-dovish Fed pivot and slowing

U.S. bond yields almost fully priced in for 2024 rate cuts -strategists: Reuters poll

By Sarupya Ganguly BENGALURU (Reuters) – U.S. Treasury yields will decline over the coming year, but by less than half as much as they have in the last seven weeks, a Reuters poll of bond strategists showed, suggesting the market is already nearly fully priced for rate cuts next year. Since peaking at 5.02% in October, the benchmark U.S. 10-year Treasury note yield, which moves inversely to the price, first dropped sharply on increased safe-haven demand owing the initial outbreak of the Israel-Hamas war. Then, growing optimism inflation will fall further and perceived dovish statements from Federal Reserve officials boosted

Marketmind: When higher US yields and dollar is a good thing

By Jamie McGeever (Reuters) – A look at the day ahead in Asian markets. Asian markets are set for a positive open on Monday, taking the baton from Wall Street on Friday after a surprise fall in the U.S. unemployment rate bolstered the view that an economic ‘soft landing’ will be achieved and recession avoided. Looked at through a ‘good news is good news’ prism, the rise in Treasury yields and the dollar on Friday should not be a drag on Asian and emerging markets, like they often are. The two-year U.S. yield posted its biggest rise since June after

Marketmind: Plunging yields, oil checked amid BOJ jolt

A look at the day ahead in U.S. and global markets from Mike Dolan Plummeting bond yields and oil prices clawed back some of the week’s dramatic falls on Thursday, while a burst of speculation about a Bank of Japan policy tightening this month cut across the interest rate optimism and catapulted the yen higher. The size and slightly erratic nature of this week’s macro market moves may speak a little to yearend markets both squaring off books and jockeying for position for 2024. But a stream of softer labor market and inflation news – not least an oil price

Marketmind: Treasury yields dive as oil craters, economy softens

A look at the day ahead in U.S. and global markets from Mike Dolan A cratering of oil prices and more signs of a cooling economy have seen Treasury yields plumb their lowest in two months, underpinning Wall St stock indexes despite notable single stock plunges in Walmart, Cisco and Alibaba. U.S. two-year Treasury yields skidded below 4.80% on Friday for the first time since September 1, with 10-year yields dropping under 4.40% to September lows too. Although they backed up a bit on Friday, U.S. crude oil prices have plummeted this week – hitting four-month lows on Thursday on

U.S. Treasury yields have peaked, say strategists for fourth straight month: Reuters poll

By Sarupya Ganguly BENGALURU (Reuters) – U.S. Treasury yields will fall in coming months, though not as sharply as forecast previously, according to bond strategists polled by Reuters, who said for a fourth month running in even greater numbers that the 10-year note yield had peaked. Those yield forecast upgrades came after news earlier this month of a ‘blowout’ third quarter for the U.S. economy and signs from Federal Reserve officials they will not be cutting the federal funds rate anytime soon. The benchmark 10-year Treasury note yield breached the 5% mark last month for the first time since July

Marketmind: Oil and bond yields try to find toehold

A look at the day ahead in U.S. and global markets from Mike Dolan With the more substantive of Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell’s two appearances this week still to come, markets have stalled as the week’s surprising plunge in oil prices and bond yields levelled off. A fresh fall in China’s consumer prices stoked deflationary fears there again and the global economic demand picture is starting to drag on commodity prices everywhere and is helping to defuse October’s blistering spike in long-term borrowing rates. The supply picture for U.S. crude, which is now down more than 20% from late

US investors extend equity fund sell-off amid rising bond yields

(Reuters) – U.S. investors remained net sellers of equity funds in the week to Oct. 25 driven by higher bond yields and concerns over the Israel-Hamas conflict. According to LSEG data, investors divested a net $2.69 billion worth of U.S. equity funds in the week, registering their sixth consecutive week of net selling. The yield on U.S. 10-year Treasury bonds climbed to a 16-year peak earlier this week, breaching the 5% mark, driven by expectations of robust growth and a growing fiscal deficit. In terms of fund categories, U.S. multi-cap, mid-cap, and small-cap funds saw outflows of $2.52 billion, $1.35

BOJ meets as rising global yields, inflation test yield cap

By Leika Kihara TOKYO (Reuters) – The Bank of Japan will face growing pressure at its policy meeting next week to shift further away from its controversial bond yield control, amid rising global bond yields and persistent inflation. A spike in U.S. Treasury yields has pushed up the 10-year Japanese government bond (JGB) yield near the BOJ’s 1% cap set just three months ago, testing the bank’s resolve to prevent an excessive market-driven surge in borrowing costs. Whether the central bank will further relax its grip on long-term interest rates will largely depend on how markets move leading up to

Marketmind: Lower yields lift investor spirits

A look at the day ahead in European and global markets from Kevin Buckland The pressure is coming off bond markets, taking pressure off every other market at the same time as we enter the final trading day in another torpid week. A sharp retreat for long-term U.S. Treasury rates gave investors across the Asia-Pacific a chance to exhale, with bond yields dropping from decade highs in Tokyo and Sydney. Equities bounced despite another sharp Wall Street selloff overnight, giving European investors some cause for optimism. Japan’s Nikkei jumped 1.5%, with Hong Kong’s Hang Seng not far behind. There’s little

Analysis-Soaring Treasury yields threaten long-term performance of US stocks

By Lewis Krauskopf NEW YORK (Reuters) – Soaring U.S. Treasury yields are further boosting the appeal of bonds over stocks, deepening an already painful equity selloff while threatening to weigh on equity performance over the long term. Bond yields near historic lows bolstered the attractiveness of stocks over the past 15 years, when the U.S. Federal Reserve kept rates near zero to support the economy following the 2008 financial crisis. This year’s climb in Treasury yields is changing that calculus, as government bonds offer income that is viewed as risk-free to investors who hold them to term. The yield on

Marketmind: A familiar pattern – stocks slump, yields spike

By Jamie McGeever (Reuters) – A look at the day ahead in Asian markets from Jamie McGeever, financial markets columnist. Asian markets on Thursday are set to open on the defensive, with sentiment battered by one of the biggest selloffs of the year in U.S. tech stocks and a renewed spike in longer-dated U.S. Treasury bond yields the day before. The regional focus turns to advance third quarter South Korean GDP figures, unemployment and industrial production data from Singapore, and Reserve Bank of Australia governor Michele Bullock’s Senate testimony. The fog of uncertainty descended further over China’s embattled property sector

Some big Wall Street investors call top in Treasury yields after 5% hit

By David Randall NEW YORK (Reuters) – Several of Wall Street’s biggest names are calling a top on longer-dated Treasury yields, after yields on the benchmark 10-year note briefly rose above 5% earlier this week to hit their highest level since 2007. Analysts at UBS Global Wealth Management, which oversees $3.1 trillion, on Tuesday said Treasury yields are unlikely to rise further, adding to a chorus of investors saying that the selloff in U.S. government bonds is nearing an end. Yields on bonds move inversely to their prices. “From here, our view is that we are now close to the

Marketmind: Big Tech reports as bond yields recoil

A look at the day ahead in U.S. and global markets from Mike Dolan Big Tech heavyweights Microsoft and Alphabet are set to switch global investors’ focus from Monday’s bond market bounce, although the latter has improved the market mood considerably ahead of the week’s big earnings reports. The two tech giants report after the bell on Tuesday, with Meta following on Wednesday and Amazon on Thursday. These four stocks combined account for a whopping 23.4% weighting in the S&P500 – just shy of their 24% pandemic peak and twice the share they held just six years ago. Partly lifted

Markets juggle 5% yields and 150 yen

A look at the day ahead in U.S. and global markets from Mike Dolan Partly unwinding pre-weekend safety hedges related to the Middle East conflict, world markets are back focused on some critical macro priced levels and milestones that may once again define the week. The beginnings of some aid convoys to Gaza and no fresh escalation of the war there at the weekend at least saw crude oil and gold prices back off their latest highs on Monday. But in keeping with that retreat from havens, U.S. Treasuries and sovereign bonds everywhere resumed their decline and 10-year U.S. benchmark

Marketmind: Stocks struggle as yields rise, tech earnings loom

A look at the day ahead in European and global markets from Wayne Cole. It’s been a cautious start to the week in Asia as markets wait to see when, or whether, Israel will launch a ground invasion of Gaza, and bonds continue their vicious sell-off. Israel’s military continued to bomb Gaza on Sunday and clashed with Iran-backed Hezbollah on the border with Lebanon. The leaders of the United States, Canada, France, Germany, Italy and Britain on Sunday underscored their support for Israel and its right to defend itself, but also urged it to adhere to international humanitarian law and
