Inflation pressures are proving more structural than transitory, driven bysupply-side dynamics tied to geopolitics, energy, and supply chains, while core servicesremain firm even as goods prices soften. At the same time, headline indicators appearmore contained, masking underlying pressures that are gradually broadening. The keyimplication is that policy may be more accommodative than intended, with the Fedeffectively easing as real rates decline, even as inflation remains above target. Thisdynamic raises the bar for rate cuts and introduces a growing risk that policy remainsanchored by inflation persistence rather than demand weakness. Rates markets are increasingly reflecting this tension. Yields remain elevated and range-bound, with the curve biased flatter as markets reprice toward a prolonged higher-rateregime and a diminished probability of cuts. While geopolitical developments—includingthe potential for a US–Iran resolution—have contributed to some easing in yields andrate volatility, the broader backdrop still limits meaningful downside in rates absent aclear inflation inflection. Real yields continue to anchor the environment, supported byfirm growth and investment trends, while duration remains challenged and secondary tocarry and curve positioning. Overall, rates are functioning less as a one-directionaladjustment mechanism and more as a constrained channel within tighter trading ranges,with sensitivity to both policy and event-driven catalysts.
