July 14 (UTC+8) — J.P. Morgan strategists recommended closing flattening positions in the U.S. Treasury 10-year/30-year curve ahead of the upcoming U.S. CPI release and Fed Chair Jerome Powell's first congressional testimony, citing elevated event risk.
They said front-end Treasury yields rose 6 basis points amid escalating geopolitical tensions and hawkish comments from Fed officials, leaving the curve about 3 basis points flatter. Fed Governor Christopher Waller warned that persistently high inflation could become embedded in market-based inflation expectations, adding that if CPI continues to signal strong underlying price pressures, the Fed may need to consider tighter policy in the near term.
