Core Viewpoint - The unexpected rise in long-term U.S. Treasury yields despite the Federal Reserve's interest rate cuts challenges traditional market logic and indicates a significant divergence in expectations between investors and the Fed [1][2]. Group 1: Interest Rate Cuts and Market Reactions - Since the Fed began its current rate-cutting cycle in September 2024, the benchmark interest rate has been reduced by 1.5 percentage points to a range of 3.75%-4% [1]. - Contrary to expectations, the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield has increased by nearly 0.5 percentage points to 4.1%, while the 30-year yield has risen by over 0.8 percentage points [1]. - Market participants anticipate another 25 basis point cut in the upcoming Fed meeting and expect two more similar cuts next year, targeting a policy rate around 3% [2]. Group 2: Historical Context and Comparisons - In the last 40 years, during non-recessionary rate-cutting cycles (1995 and 1998), the Fed only cut rates by 75 basis points, and the 10-year Treasury yields either fell or increased at a much lower rate than currently observed [5]. - The current situation is viewed as a potential return to pre-2008 financial crisis norms, moving away from the historically low rates established during the pandemic [8]. Group 3: Economic Outlook and Inflation Concerns - Analysts suggest that the rise in yields may reflect a market adjustment to the Fed's previous aggressive rate hikes aimed at curbing inflation, which has led to a ceiling on the decline of yields [8]. - Concerns about persistent inflation above the 2% target and the resilience of the economy have led to increased term premiums, indicating investor anxiety about the Fed's pace of rate cuts [9]. - Political pressures, particularly from President Trump, may further complicate the Fed's decision-making, with fears that aggressive rate cuts could lead to soaring mortgage rates [9]. Group 4: Structural Changes in the Bond Market - The current bond market dynamics are compared to the "Greenspan conundrum," where excessive government borrowing has shifted from a surplus of savings to an oversupply of bonds, exerting upward pressure on yields [10]. - The conclusion drawn is that the determination of long-term rates may be increasingly influenced by structural changes in the global economy rather than central bank policies [10].

自2024年9月美联储启动本轮降息以来，已累计将基准利率下调1.5个百分点至3.75%-4%的区间。然而，市场的反应却出人意料。同期，10年期美 国国债收益率攀升了近0.5个百分点至4.1%，而30年期国债收益率的涨幅更是超过了0.8个百分点。 但作为美国消费者和企业借贷成本基准的关键国债收益率，却并未随之走低。 回顾过去四十年中仅有的两次非衰退时期的降息周期（1995年和1998年），当时美联储仅降息75个基点，10年期国债收益率要么直接下降，要么 涨幅远不及当前水平。 这一走势直接挑战了传统的市场逻辑，即美联储降息通常会引导长期利率下行。它也与美国总统特朗普的预期相悖，后者认为更快的降息将有效 拉低抵押贷款、信用卡等各类贷款利率。市场的反常表现意味着，投资者对利率前景的判断与美联储存在巨大分歧。 当下，对于这种分歧的解读，市场观点众说纷纭。乐观者认为这是经济将避免衰退的信心体现；中性观点则视其为市场利率回归2008年金融危机 前常态的标志；而悲观者则担忧，这反映了"债券义警"的回归，他们对美国不断膨胀的国家债务和潜在的通胀风险投下了不信任票。 罕见背离：降息周期下的收益率上行 通常情况下，当美联储调整其短 ...
