on February 8th, the yield on US Treasury bonds ended a turbulent week with various trends, as the threat of tariffs raised concerns about short-term inflation and later economic growth slowdown. Forecasters have been trying to estimate the impact of tariffs on prices, but the intermittent actions of the Trump administration have made this task complicated. CPI and PPI for January will be announced next week, with little expected change. Future markets show that bets on the Federal Reserve cutting interest rates more than once this year are decreasing. The yield on 10-year Treasury bonds fell this week, while the yield on 2-year Treasury bonds rose.
