Treasuries Rally as Cool CPI Data Cuts July Fed Hike Bets to 20%
Context
US Treasuries surged as traders pulled back from bets on Federal Reserve interest-rate hikes after consumer prices data came in lower than forecast.
What it means
A cooler-than-expected CPI print has historically been associated with a rally in Treasuries as rate-hike bets are scaled back — the key driver here is the surprise versus what was priced in, not the inflation number in isolation. Lower rate expectations tend to support growth-oriented equities and soften the US dollar in the short term. (Lower-conviction channels were filtered out by our selectivity bar.)
