Wall Street interprets the CPI: no change to the Fed's "gradual easing," core inflation remains strong supporting the pause in interest rate cuts in January.
Analysis suggests that the CPI, which meets expectations, demonstrates that the cooling of inflation has basically stagnated in recent months.

The yield on 10-year U.S. Treasuries first fell and then rose.

Shanghai Securities Journal: Do not overlook the risks behind the surge in the bond market. "OMO rate + 45 basis points" has become the "new anchor point" for government bonds.

If future policy implementation deviates from expectations, there may be a significant potential for market adjustments. Another article from Shanghai Securities Journal cites analysis that, referring to the bond market pricing habits since July, the 10-year government bond yield is generally determined using an OMO rate plus an additional 40 to 50 basis points as a phased interest rate lower limit. In the future, it can be roughly considered that 'OMO rate + 45 basis points' will serve as the new pricing 'anchor' for the bond market.
