May 2, 2019

Lots of Fed-betting today:

Treasury yields jumped as a wave of bets that the Fed will keep rates on hold longer than expected — before possibly cutting them — was unleashed in derivatives markets. Chairman Jerome Powell’s comments on the “transient” nature of factors keeping inflation below the target prompted a reassessment, with wagers on when a rate cut might happen shifting from December 2019 into 2020. The next clue on the health of the economy will be Friday’s jobs report.

This had an effect on Canadian bond yields, with the 5-Year Canada yield up 7bp to 1.61%.
