Long U.S. Treasury Yields Ease; Fed Rate Cut Isn't Imminent
0617 GMT – Long-dated U.S. Treasury yields are little changed in European hours, while there was no cash trading in Tokyo on Japanese holiday. Following last week's CPI print for June, money markets continue to rule out an interest-rate cut by the Federal Reserve in July, according to LSEG.
