Fed's Hammack Sees Two-Sided Risks to Interest Rates
Bloomberg Television· 2026-03-06 21:23
You made an address basically suggesting that risks are two sided now. You've been on the side of inflation being the biggest concern. But then we got this jobs report today that sort of makes the case for some of the doves on the committee.What did you make of it. Well, I try not to make too much of any one individual number. And certainly this number was a disappointment, mostly because it means that there are more Americans who aren't working.That's what disappointed me in this report. We've seen the eco ...
Bonds Pare Worst Weekly Loss Since April on Labor, Oil Angst
Yahoo Finance· 2026-03-06 19:41
Core Viewpoint - Treasuries are experiencing their largest weekly loss since April 2025, driven by rising oil prices that heighten inflation concerns, overshadowing a weak US jobs report that could have supported the case for Federal Reserve interest-rate cuts [1]. Group 1: Treasury Market Performance - Long-term bonds underperformed, with yields on 10-year notes increasing by up to five basis points, marking a total rise of 22 basis points for the week, the largest increase since the announcement of tariffs by President Trump [2]. - Yields on 10- to 30-year Treasuries rose as Brent crude futures reached $90 per barrel, while two-year yields, more sensitive to Fed policy changes, decreased by about 2 basis points to approximately 3.6% [5]. Group 2: Economic Indicators and Labor Market - The Treasury market is struggling to rally due to forward inflationary risks linked to the Middle East conflict, despite signs of labor market fragility, including a report of 92,000 job cuts in February and a rising unemployment rate [3][6]. - The disappointing jobs report has led to a perception of recessionary conditions, with analysts noting that normally a significant jobs miss would trigger a rally in the Treasury market, but current energy prices are dominating the economic outlook [7]. Group 3: Federal Reserve Policy Outlook - US policymakers, who previously cut interest rates three times last year, have paused in January, with some expressing concerns that inflation remains too high for further rate reductions in the short term [7]. - San Francisco Fed President Mary Daly indicated that the weak employment report undermines the idea of a stabilizing labor market, while Fed Governor Christopher Waller expressed skepticism about the sustained impact of the Iran war on inflation [8].
