Friday’s Factors and Events

The bank does admit that it will take a while for yields to rise. “We think the message from history is that bond yields will start rising when the market prices meaningful odds of rate increases, and that point still seems far off. Fed officials have signaled that they would like to be done with cutting but that the hurdle for hiking again is high. So, although we are cautiously optimistic on the global economy, we forecast only moderately higher 10-year Treasury yields next year, targeting a rebound to 2.25%, mostly skewed toward the second half of 2020,” the company says.
