The U.S. dollar has experienced significant gains recently, with analysts indicating that this trend is within normal parameters and not a sign of an impending crisis. Concurrently, the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield has risen by 78 basis points since September, primarily due to higher real rates, which account for 68% of the increase, rather than inflation expectations. Despite this rise in yields, equity markets have remained resilient, reflecting a robust U.S. economy. Recent trading activity has seen fluctuations in Treasury yields, with investors closely monitoring economic data and Federal Reserve communications for further insights. A dip in the 10-year yield was noted as investors awaited new economic indicators and policy developments, while yields also fell in response to disappointing eurozone economic data.
