The U.S. Treasury market remains a focal point for investors as yields continue to rise, with the 10-year benchmark climbing above 4.11% on Monday. This upward movement comes as market participants eagerly await insights from a series of Federal Reserve policymaker speeches scheduled throughout the day. The yield curve, a key indicator of economic expectations, has shown some steepening, with the spread between 2-year and 10-year yields widening slightly. This development suggests that investors are recalibrating their expectations for future economic growth and inflation. Meanwhile, market-implied rate cuts for the coming year have been gradually adjusting, reflecting a more cautious outlook on the pace of potential monetary policy easing.

The resilience of U.S. Treasuries is underpinned by several key factors, including the United States' hegemonic position in the global financial architecture, its persistent leadership in innovation, and the lack of credible alternatives in the international market. Currently market prices in approximately two interest rates cuts, 25 basis points each.
