With the Federal Reserve beginning a new tightening cycle and markets pricing additional rate increases, investors are reassessing where the Treasury yield curve may be headed next. Ira Jersey, Bloomberg Intelligence chief US interest-rate strategist, discusses this and more in a solo Macro Matters edition of the FICC Focus podcast. Jersey explains why Chairman Kevin Warsh’s latest press conference offered a clearer view of the Fed’s reaction function, with resilient economic growth allowing policymakers to focus more directly on above-target inflation. Jersey outlines why BI expects another 50 bps of tightening, though likely at a slower pace than markets currently price, and examines how previous Fed cycles suggest further curve flattening could follow the first hike. Jersey also discusses why two- to five-year Treasuries may offer attractive carry and downside protection as the curve flattens, how inflation expectations will influence the Fed’s next moves and why solid nominal growth continues to support relatively high long-term Treasury yields.
The Macro Matters podcast is part of BI’s FICC Focus series.
