Newsquawk ·
Treasury note futures for September delivery settled 15 ticks lower at 108-03+ as hawkish comments from Warsh reignited speculation regarding a potential September rate hike. Across the curve, yields advanced significantly, led by the front-end. The 2-year yield climbed 11.8 basis points to 4.352%, while the 3-year yield added 10.3 basis points to 4.403%. Intermediate and long-term maturities also experienced upward yield pressure, with the 7-year up 7.1 bps at 4.595% and the benchmark 10-year rising 4.8 bps to 4.724%. Meanwhile, the 20-year and 30-year yields advanced 2.0 bps and 1.5 bps to 5.209% and 5.210%, respectively. Market participants recalibrated expectations after Warsh emphasized that the inflation mandate remains a greater concern than the labor market, noting that underlying price pressures have yet to convincingly trend toward the Federal Reserve's 2% objective.

DYAX 전담 분석
Due to hawkish remarks, Treasury prices faced downward pressure as the 2-year yield spiked to 4.352% and the 10-year yield reached 4.724%. This reflects concerns over prolonged monetary tightening and leads to an overall increase in market discount rates.
Whether future inflation indicators stably settle at the 2% target will be the key metric, and investors must be mindful of the scenario involving further declines in growth stocks and bond prices if additional rate hikes materialize.
