Markets began the week with volatility, largely driven by uncertainty surrounding the Federal Reserve's future policy direction, which has led to a notable increase in bond yields. Liz Ann Sonders, chief investment strategist at Charles Schwab, characterized the current market conditions as indicative of a 'temperamental era.' This sentiment is echoed by other market analysts, including BNY's Alicia Levine, who anticipates continued volatility throughout the year, attributing it to shifts in fiscal, trade, and financial policies, as well as concerns over inflation and Treasury supply. Meanwhile, recent comments from Federal Reserve Governor Christopher Waller have contributed to fluctuations in bond yields, with some reports indicating a temporary decline following his remarks.
“I think we’re going to get more of the same,” says BNY’s @AliciaLevinePhD. “We think it’s going to be a much more volatile year this year, really circled around policy and fears of inflation and fears of Treasury supply.” https://t.co/wjdclddpeo
