Interest rate path is a winding two-way street

Global Research Unlocked

Not all forces are aligned to push rates higher

Though the possibility of tariffs and immigration reform, in combination with pro-growth policies, would seem to bias interest rates higher, the 10Y yield is up fairly modestly since election results were announced. And while Mark Cabana expects the 10Y yield to trade in a higher range than it did previously, Mark and the team don't expect 10Y yields to run to 5% and beyond. Mark joins us to discuss the forces that could push rates higher and those that could weigh them down. He discusses Fed path implications for the 10Y and how the rate components have changed since the election. Mark also discusses how US policies could spill over to rate markets globally and what that means for Treasury demand.
