Cooling inflation data in the US were the ones which were supporting optimism with market participants, indicating a good time to start purchasing the US bonds. The PCE data were published on Friday, revealing that the index was increased by 0.1% in November. The PCE is one of the favorite Fed's inflation gauges, which indicated to markets that the Fed might start pivoting during Q1, as per market expectations since the beginning of December. For the markets, it was a clear entrance point, where 10Y Treasury yields reached lowest weekly level at 3.83%, while yields finished the week around 3.9%.
At this moment, the market is actually testing the 4.0% support line for the 10Y Treasury bonds. It was more than evident on charts that the reversal point in the bond market started in November this year, while current 4.0% might be seen as a short term stop for yields. There is no question about where the yields will go in the future, however, the market is currently pricing 4.6% anticipated interest rates at the end of the next year. Charts are showing that there is an open path for 3.6% level, however, this would be the case for the year ahead. During the last week of December, it should not be expected to make any significant moves toward either side. The yields will continue to oscillate around the 4.0% level.
