Odaily Odaily News: Bond traders are betting that the U.S. economy is on the verge of deterioration and that the Federal Reserve will need to begin aggressively easing monetary policy to avoid a recession. Previous concerns about high inflation have largely disappeared, quickly giving way to new concerns that the economy will stall unless the central bank begins to cut interest rates from more than 20-year highs. This is driving one of the best rallies in the bond market since concerns about a banking crisis broke out in March 2023. The rally was so strong that the policy-sensitive 2-year Treasury yield fell 50 basis points last week to less than 3.9%. Since the global financial crisis and the bursting of the Internet bubble, this yield has not been so much lower than the Federal Reserve's benchmark interest rate, currently around 5.3%. (Jinshi)
