US yields rise after better than expected manufacturing report

Time of India01-05-2025

Longer-dated U.S. Treasury yields rose from three-week lows on Thursday after a better than expected manufacturing report for April, which also showed that tariffs on imported goods were straining
supply
chains and maintaining elevated prices for inputs.
The Institute for Supply Management (ISM) said that its manufacturing PMI dropped to a five-month low of 48.7 last month, beating economists' forecasts for a drop to 48.

US yields rise after better than expected manufacturing report

"It's cold comfort that the ISM Manufacturing
index
came in better than expected. It's more like it came in less bad than expected. The collapse of production and new
export
orders along with an increase in domestic orders suggests that costs are rising and activity is falling. That's not a great combination," said Brian Jacobsen, chief economist at Annex Wealth Management.
Traders are balancing the risks that tariffs implemented by U.S. President
Donald Trump
will slow growth and increase
inflation
, with higher price pressures potentially delaying when the U.S. Federal Reserve is likely to resume interest rate cuts.

"What we've heard from the FOMC so far is that they want to prioritise inflation expectations in any case where there's lower growth and stubbornly high inflation," said Will Compernolle, macro strategist at FHN Financial.
Yields fell to a more than three-week low earlier on Thursday after data showed that the number of Americans filing new applications for unemployment benefits increased more than expected last week.
Friday's employment report for April is expected to show that employers added 130,000 jobs during the month, while the unemployment rate held steady at 4.2%.
The labor market has remained relatively resilient, which has allowed the U.S. central
bank
to keep interest rates on hold as it also watches for signs of a potential resurgence in inflation.
Yields surged early last month after U.S. President Donald Trump announced larger than expected tariffs on trading partners, but have fallen since Trump offered a 90-day pause on most tariff increases.
Traders are now focused on what deals will be reached between the United States and trading partners and are watching for when the expected impact of the trade levies are seen in the "hard" economic data.
"If you exclude all of the sentiment surveys and the corporate earnings calls and what you would call anecdotal evidence, there's nothing in the hard data flashing red that says the Fed has to cut rates right now. So, they're waiting for any of these fears to channel into the hard data," said Compernolle.
Fed funds futures traders are pricing in a 68% likelihood of a rate cut in June, and only 7% odds of a rate reduction at the Fed's May 6-7 meeting, according to the CME Group's FedWatch Tool.
The yield on
benchmark
U.S. 10-year notes was last up 3.3 basis points at 4.208%, after earlier reaching 4.124%, the lowest since April 7.
The two-year note yield, which typically moves in step with interest rate expectations, rose 1 basis point to 3.631%. It earlier fell to 3.558%, also the lowest since April 7.
The yield curve between two-year and 10-year notes steepened by around 2 basis points to 57 basis points.

'Why do I need RCB? I don't even drink Royal Challenge': Karnataka Deputy CM's epic take on rumours of buying franchise

Karnataka Deputy CM DK Shivakumar on Wednesday shut down rumours about him buying the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) franchise in epic fashion. His statement came a day after RCB owners, Diageo India — the Indian arm of UK-based Diageo Plc — responded to speculation that part or all of the IPL franchise was up for sale "I am not a mad man. I'm just a member of the Karnataka Cricket Association from my younger days, that's all. I don't have time, though I had offers to be part of the management... Why do I need RCB? I don't even drink Royal Challenge," Shivakumar told news agency ANI. Earlier this week, a Bloomberg report said that the British distiller was in discussion with potential advisers on selling the club. Diageo owns the team through its Indian unit, United Spirits Ltd., and may seek a valuation of as much as $2 billion. Following the rumours, the shares of United Spirits, registered with the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE), gained a 3.3 per cent increase in its price, this hitting a five-month high on Tuesday morning. This forced the BSE to sent out a mail to Diageo, who then responded saying the reports were merely speculative in nature. Mital Sanghvi, the company secretary, informed the regulating body of the Indian Stock Market on the mail saying, "The company would like to clarify that the aforesaid media reports are speculative in nature and it is not pursuing any such discussion. This is for your information and records."
