Treasuries Mixed; Short End Closing a Volatile Week With Gains
(Bloomberg) -- Treasuries were mixed, with most maturities tracking a slide in European bonds, while two-year debt headed for a slight weekly gain before a final set of US data caps a run of volatile trading. The 30-year yield rose 1 basis points to 4.88% while the two-year yield slipped 1 basis point to 3.72%, steepening the yield curve ahead of readings on US retail sales, manufacturing and business sentiment later in the day. The two-year rate headed for 4 basis points drop on the week after interest-rate cut speculation drove it to a three-month low on Thursday. Treasuries have been whipsawed by US inflation data in recent days. A benign reading of CPI early in the week and White House pressure for Federal Reserve rate cuts spurred a rally, only for a bigger-than-expected jump in producer prices on Thursday to prompt a reassessment. Traders are now pricing an almost 90% possibility that the Fed will reduce borrowing costs by 25 basis points in September. They trimmed bets after fully discounting such a cut earlier in the week, when Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent suggested that the central bank should cut rates by 50 basis points next month. 'A move of 25 basis points in September followed by similarly sized cuts in the following couple of quarters appears like a reasonable baseline assessment of the likely path for US rates,' Mark Dowding, chief investment officer of the BlueBay Fixed Income unit at RBC Global Asset Management, wrote in a note. 'That said, we think risks are tilted towards more aggressive policy action,' particularly if the next reports on payrolls and inflation indicate slowing growth and benign price risks, he added. Markets are pricing a small possibility that the Fed will deliver more than 50 basis points of cuts by December. Myles Bradshaw, head of global aggregate strategies at JPMorgan Asset Management, said that such a move would hinge on the next monthly jobs report. 'There is a chance we get 50 and it's going to be that roulette wheel of the next payrolls report,' Bradshaw said on Bloomberg TV. 'If that is showing zero payrolls growth, then 50 basis points is on the table.' --With assistance from Alice Atkins. More stories like this are available on

Treasuries End Turbulent Week Lower as Traders Eye Jackson Hole
(Bloomberg) -- Treasuries fell to wrap up a volatile week as mixed economic data kept investors on edge ahead of a key speech from Jerome Powell that may offer clues on the Federal Reserve's next steps. The selloff lifted 10-year yields to 4.32% on Friday, slightly above last week's levels. The dollar slipped and traders held to bets on a September rate cut while shifting focus to the Fed symposium in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, where Powell is set to deliver an address. A week that included conflicting reports on retail sales, consumer sentiment, and inflation — as well as White House calls for lower interest rates — ended with a pivotal meeting between presidents Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin. It added up to a choppy run for Treasuries. 'The market took a sharp turn on Thursday after the producer price index surprised dramatically to the upside,' Nancy Vanden Houten, lead US economist at Oxford Economics, wrote. 'Treasuries added to those losses on Friday, on stronger than expected data on import prices and a consumer sentiment survey showing rising inflation expectations among households.' Futures imply a roughly 80% chance of a quarter-point rate cut at the Fed's September meeting. If Powell offers no clear signal, investors will look to upcoming economic data for confirmation, said Gregory Faranello, head of US rates trading and strategy at AmeriVet Securities. A weak jobs report, set to be released in early September, would solidify bets on a 25-basis-point reduction, he said. The moves on Friday pushed the gap between five- and 30-year Treasury yields to its widest level since 2021. It tracked a similar selloff in European government bonds, with the rate on 30-year German note rising to a 14-year high. The yield is up 14 basis points this week, the largest jump since the nation's historic investment plan in March sent rates higher across the region. The selloff in Europe may have been exacerbated by public holidays in many countries worsening already thin August liquidity. There's also continued focus on increased fiscal spending across the region and reduced demand for long-dated assets due to Dutch pension reforms. Earlier this week, a benign reading on consumer prices and White House pressure for Fed rate cuts spurred a rally, only for a bigger-than-expected jump in producer prices on Thursday to prompt a reassessment. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent suggested that the central bank should cut rates by 50 basis points next month. Traders are still fully pricing in at least two, quarter-point reductions by the end of the year. 'A move of 25 basis points in September followed by similarly sized cuts in the following couple of quarters appears like a reasonable baseline assessment of the likely path for US rates,' Mark Dowding, chief investment officer of the BlueBay Fixed Income unit at RBC Global Asset Management, wrote in a note. What Bloomberg Strategists say... 'Benchmark yields have been trading in a zone from 4.18% to 4.32% since the July nonfarm payrolls led to a lower rate regime. The range trade can persist, with Friday's swath of economic data confirming Federal Reserve officials will likely need to gather more data before solidifying a view for the September FOMC meeting.' —Alyce Andres, US FX/Rates Strategist, Markets Live For the full analysis, click here. While some traders have piled into bets that would benefit from an outsize, 50-basis-point move, Myles Bradshaw, head of global aggregate strategies at JPMorgan Asset Management, said that such a move would hinge on the next monthly jobs report.

Trump to Hold Off Hiking China Tariffs Over Russia Oil Purchases
(Bloomberg) -- US President Donald Trump said he will hold off on raising tariffs on Chinese goods over the country's purchases of Russian oil, citing progress he said was made with Vladimir Putin toward ending the war in Ukraine. 'Because of what happened today, I think I don't have to think about that,' Trump said Friday in a Fox News interview with Sean Hannity after his summit with Putin. 'Now, I may have to think about it in two weeks or three weeks or something, but we don't have to think about that right now.' Trump earlier this month threatened buyers of Russian energy with additional tariffs as a means of pressuring Putin into peace talks with Ukraine. The US president already doubled duties on Indian products to 50% starting Aug. 27 over its purchases of oil from Moscow. Raising tariffs on China, though, would risk breaking a trade truce that Trump on Monday agreed to extend for another 90 days. That agreement saw Washington and Beijing lower duties on each others' goods that reached astronomical levels in the spring, which spooked global markets. China has defended its imports of Russian oil as lawful and necessary for its energy security. Trump fell short of reaching a ceasefire deal with Putin during their meeting in Alaska, but said they agreed on many points and urged Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy to make a deal with the leader who launched an unprovoked invasion of his country in 2022. 'I think, you know, the meeting went very well,' Trump said on Fox News. More stories like this are available on
