US Treasury yields were slightly lower on Friday morning as market participants await the highly anticipated release of monthly inflation data.<\/p>\n
The yield on the benchmark 10-year Treasury note dipped roughly 1 basis point to 3.031%, while the yield on the 30-year Treasury bond fell nearly 2 basis points to 3.153%. Yields move inversely to prices, and a basis point is equal to 0.01%.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
US consumer price index data for May is scheduled to be released at around 8:30 am ET, with investors waiting to see how the reading could shape the Federal Reserve’s rate-hiking strategy and whether decades-high inflation peaked in March.<\/p>\n
CPI, a broad-based measure of prices for goods and services, rose to 8.3% in April, reflecting a modest decrease from March’s peak of 8.5% but still close to the highest level since the summer of 1982.<\/p>\n
The Fed started raising rates in March and implemented a 50-basis-point hike in May, its largest in 22 years, with the Federal Open Market Committee meeting minutes pointing to further aggressive increases ahead – particularly if the forthcoming CPI reading confirms elevated inflation levels .<\/p>\n
To be sure, the White House has acknowledged that it expects to see an uptick in inflation later in the session.<\/p>\n
Consumer sentiment data for June and federal budget data for May are among some of the other data releases scheduled for Friday.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
