Two Reasons Rising Bond Yields Haven’t Caused a Pullback (Yet)
What’s in Today’s Report:
- Two Reasons Rising Bond Yields Haven’t Caused a Pullback (Yet)
- Natural Gas Update
Futures are modestly weaker following a rally in oil prices and a continued rise in bond yields overnight.
Oil rallied 2% after Russia announced it was voluntarily reducing output by 500k bpd while OPEC+ did not signal any intention to increase output to offset the reduction.
Global bond yields moved higher after Nikkei reported Kazuo Ueda will become the next BOJ governor, and not the ultra-dove Masayoshi Amamiya (who was expected).
Today focus will remain on the data and specifically University of Michigan Consumer Sentiment (E: 65.0) and the inflation expectations in the report (any further decline will be positive for stocks). We also get two Fed speakers: Waller (12:30 p.m. ET) and Harker (4:00 p.m. ET) and markets will want to see if they echo the hawkish tone from regional Fed presidents this week.
