New Record Low Yields on 10- and 30-Year Bonds: Double Cut?
|Treasury yields continued a massive plunge today with new record lows. I sense a double rate cut by the Fed on March 18.
CME Fedwatch Odds
If these yields hold the Fed will practically be forced to cut interest rates by 50 basis points on March 18.
As it stands a quarter point cut would leave the 10-year treasury yield inverted with the Effective Fed Funds Rate by 16.3 basis points.
