Group 1 - The impact of U.S. tariffs on inflation has become a focal point in the market, with significant increases in tariffs since the beginning of the year, but the transmission effect on inflation has not been immediate [1] - The delayed transmission of tariffs to inflation is attributed to several factors, including phased implementation and transportation time lags, which typically require months to significantly affect prices [1] - Companies have adopted strategies such as restructuring trade and increasing domestic procurement to mitigate the actual tariff burden, while some industries have stockpiled inventory to temporarily avoid passing on tariff costs to consumers [1] Group 2 - Economists suggest that the transmission of tariffs to inflation is merely delayed and not eliminated, with expectations that tariffs will gradually raise U.S. inflation levels starting in the third quarter [1] - The Federal Reserve's decision-making is significantly influenced by concerns over tariffs pushing inflation, leading to a postponement of interest rate cuts [3] - The uncertainty surrounding tariffs, along with the potential impacts of immigration policy and the "Big Beautiful" Act, may contribute to increased inflation levels in the fourth quarter [3][7] Group 3 - Market participants express concern that while the magnitude of tariff transmission to inflation may be less than expected, its persistence could exceed expectations, leading to increased volatility in U.S. Treasury yields [5] - Analysts note that the uncertainty of Trump's tariff policy and the time lag in its inflation impact create uncertainty regarding the timing of these effects [5] - The overall uncertainty in monetary policy is expected to rise by 2026 due to the delayed effects of tariffs and other economic factors, potentially slowing the pace of interest rate cuts [7]

Group 1 - The core viewpoint is that the June non-farm payroll data exceeded expectations, indicating a strong U.S. labor market and solid economic fundamentals [1][2] - The June non-farm payrolls added 147,000 jobs, surpassing the expected 106,000, while the unemployment rate fell to 4.1%, below the expected 4.3% [2] - The labor participation rate decreased to 62.3%, slightly below expectations, and average hourly earnings increased by 0.2% month-on-month, lower than the expected 0.3% [2] Group 2 - Market expectations for a rate cut in July have shifted, with a 93% probability of no change in rates, while a rate cut is anticipated to begin in September, with two cuts expected by year-end [1][3] - The Federal Reserve's decision to cut rates is influenced by the need to address inflation uncertainties caused by tariffs, which are expected to diminish, allowing for potential rate cuts [3] - The recent decline in long-term U.S. Treasury yields may have been excessive, and upcoming debt supply and inflationary pressures could lead to higher rates, presenting reallocation opportunities in both the bond and equity markets [3]

Group 1 - The core driver of the recent volatility in the US Treasury market is the US tax reduction bill and the weak demand for Japanese bonds, leading to significant increases in Treasury yields in May [2][3][7] - The 10-year Treasury yield rose by 37 basis points since April 30, with the term premium contributing 28 basis points to this increase, indicating heightened concerns over fiscal sustainability and inflation [10][69] - The term premium for US Treasuries reached a new high of 0.9% by May 22, reflecting disturbances in fiscal, inflation, monetary, and trading factors [10][69] Group 2 - The "Beautiful America Act" aims to extend tax cuts from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA), with an expected increase in the deficit rate by approximately 1.8 percentage points by 2026, despite limited marginal economic contributions [3][29][40] - The Act's passage faces uncertainty in the Senate, where the Republican majority is slim, and potential amendments could require further voting in the House [3][29] - The Act includes significant tax cuts, with 80% of the measures extending existing cuts and 20% introducing new cuts, but the overall economic impact is expected to be limited, similar to the effects of tax extensions in 2010 and 2012 [33][40][41] Group 3 - The relationship between the US fiscal deficit and Treasury yields remains stable, with a 1 percentage point increase in the deficit correlating to a rise of approximately 78 basis points in the 10-year Treasury yield [4][47] - Short-term pressures on the Treasury market have eased, with positive net inflows into bond funds in May, indicating a temporary reduction in systemic pressure [49][50] - Long-term, Treasury yields are expected to remain elevated due to potential unanticipated deficit expansions and ongoing trade policy uncertainties [60][70]

Group 1 - The recent significant fluctuations in U.S. Treasury yields were primarily triggered by unexpected tariff policies announced by President Trump, leading to a sharp decline and subsequent rise in yields over three distinct phases from March 28 to April 24 [1][20][15] - The first phase saw a decline in yields due to concerns over a potential global economic recession, with 2Y and 10Y Treasury yields dropping by 29 basis points (bps) and 37 bps respectively [20] - The second phase experienced a rapid increase in yields, with 2Y yields rising by 28 bps and 10Y and 30Y yields increasing by 47 bps and 44 bps respectively, marking the largest weekly increases since the tech bubble burst in 2001 and the economic crisis in 1982 [20][15] Group 2 - The recent auction of new U.S. Treasuries faced weak demand, with the 3-year Treasury auction showing the highest tailing spread since the pandemic and the lowest bid-to-cover ratio in nearly three years, raising concerns about demand and liquidity [2][26] - Hedge funds faced significant pressure to close basis trades, leading to substantial selling pressure in the U.S., Europe, and Japan, as the volatility in Treasury futures prices forced traders to liquidate positions [3][29] - Confidence in U.S. dollar assets as a safe haven was undermined, resulting in a simultaneous decline in U.S. equities, bonds, and the dollar, while non-U.S. assets like Japanese and European bonds, as well as gold, benefited from this shift [4][33] Group 3 - Historical analysis shows that since 2007, there have been six significant fluctuations in U.S. Treasury yields, with the first two linked to crises that drove investors to seek safety in Treasuries, resulting in substantial declines in yields [5][40] - The most recent fluctuations in 2020 and 2023 exhibited a similar pattern of initial declines followed by increases, influenced by liquidity crises and strong economic data [5][40] Group 4 - Short-term outlook for U.S. Treasury yields indicates narrow fluctuations with high market vulnerability due to multiple factors, including uncertainties surrounding tariff negotiations and the potential for further volatility in financial markets [6][46] - The medium to long-term outlook suggests a return to a downward trend in yields, contingent on easing tariff uncertainties and a potential resumption of interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve, although concerns over debt sustainability and geopolitical tensions may elevate yield volatility [10][11]
