On July 14, Deutsche Bank strategists stated in their latest report that they maintain a bearish view on the duration of U.S. Treasuries, citing the continued increase in the free-float supply of government bonds in the four major economies—the U.S., the UK, the Eurozone, and Japan—which is expected to push up term premiums on long-dated bonds. Deutsche Bank forecasts that by the end of this year, the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield will rise to 4.80%, and the 2-year yield will reach 4.30%. This implies a “moderate steepening” of the yield curve compared to current spot and forward levels. (Jin Shi)
