The Fed held interest rates unchanged at their FOMC meeting during the previous week. On a positive side is that they still perceive two rate cuts during the course of this year, which would account for 0.5 percentage points further drop in US reference rates. Fed officials noted that there are arousing uncertainties related to moves from the US Administration which could impact the US economy to some extent. For the moment the forecast for the economic growth for this year was decreased by 0,4 pp to the level of 1,7%. Inflation expectations have turned to higher grounds than previously estimated.
During the first half of the week, the US 10Y Treasury benchmark reached the highest level at 4,33%, while it ended the week at 4,25%. At this point on charts, it doesn't look like the market gave up on testing the 4,30% levels, meaning that the market might modestly revert back toward the higher grounds. It should be noted that the PCE data are set for a release on Friday, next week, which increases probability of a higher volatility of US Treasury yields.
