On Wednesday, the benchmark 10-year US Treasury yield $Micro 10-Year Yield - main 2410(10Ymain)$, often referred to as the "global asset pricing anchor," hit 4.26%, its highest level since July.
1. Election trades and inflation outlooks have reduced expectations for rate cuts.
The recent rise in the 10-year yield has nearly mirrored increasing speculation in betting markets that former President Trump will win the election.
His tax cut policies could potentially reignite inflation.
According to the betting site Polymarket, Trump currently has a 64% chance of winning the November election, while Harris trails with a 36% chance.
However, Harris’s policies could also stoke inflation. Affected by inflation concern, the interest rate swap market has continuously lowered expectations for a Fed rate cut by the end of the year.
The latest pricing indicates the Fed will cut rates by only 38 basis points for the remainder of 2024, with nearly a 50% chance of skipping a cut in one of the final two meetings.
2. Rising Treasury yields are putting pressure on the stock market.
Interest-sensitive large-cap stocks like $NVIDIA Corp(NVDA)$ , $Apple(AAPL)$ , and $Amazon.com(AMZN)$ each fell more than 2%. Among the 11 sectors of $.SPX(.SPX)$, only utilities and real estate saw gains.
Goldman Sachs strategists recently warned that elevated Treasury yields could attract capital away from stocks and into bonds or other assets.
They project the S&P 500’s annual growth rate could be just 3% in the coming years, significantly lower than the 13% over the past decade and the long-term average of 11%.
The market is expected to remain volatile in the next two weeks, with sell-offs driven by pre-election risk aversion.
Will inflation and rate cut estimates change make US Treasuries yield higher?
Will market pullback due to Treasury's forces?
