- Business Insider The US has experienced low inflation for the last few years, but that may be changing. Here are news, articles, and videos on inflation and its effects on the US economy.
In a session deprived of key data, yields and the USD yesterday faced a correction on recent rise. Markets concluded that, without new data evidence on strong US demand or sticky inflation, enough Fed rate cut delay is discounted. A decline in oil prices (high US stockpiles) also supported core bonds. US yields dropped between 5.5 bps (2-y) and 8.6 bps (5-y). The Fed Beige Book preparing the May Fed meeting reported slight or modest growth in most districts.
Today, two Riksbank board members will give speeches on monetary policy and the economic outlook, Aino Bunge (8.30) and Per Jansson (16.00). It will be very interesting to hear their comments on the benign March inflation print and the recent global developments, in particular how they assess the perception of delayed rate cuts by the much-important Fed, the sharp weakening of the SEK over the last couple of weeks, and how these factors affect their view on near-term monetary policy where pricing is skewed for a cut in May.
