The U.S. dollar rose to a fresh 2-1/2-month high on Tuesday, continuing its recent ascent on expectations the Federal Reserve will temper its interest rate cut path, while investors positioned ahead of an apparently tight U.S. presidential election. The greenback has risen for three straight weeks and is on track for its 15th gain in 17 sessions as a run of positive economic data has diminished expectations about the size and speed of rate cuts from the Fed, which has pushed U.S. Treasury yields higher. The yield on the benchmark 10-year U.S. Treasury note reached 4.222% on Tuesday, its highest since July 26.
Treasury yields climbed by the most in weeks on Monday as markets continued to recalibrate their interest rate expectations while assessing the likelihood of a soft landing for the U.S. economy.
A soft landing for the U.S. economy could have serious implications for the Treasury market, as per analysts at BCA Research. In the note, the analysts say that with recent positive economic data pushing the 10-year Treasury yield into what they define as the “Soft Landing Zone,” investors may see stabilization in yields even as the economy avoids recession. As BCA’s analysts note, in such a scenario, the Fed's easing of monetary policy would continue, but without a full-blown recession requiring aggressive cuts.
