It's Time for the Fed to End the Waiting Game

Will Rate Cut Expectations Trigger a Shift from Large to Small Caps?

U.S. Treasury Investors Look to Be in Bond-Positive Mood -- Market Talk
Investors on the primary market for U.S. government bonds seem to be leaning toward the bond-positive view, Elmar Voelker, senior fixed income analyst at LBBW, says in a note. Admittedly, the post-CPI 30-year bond auction on Thursday was somewhat slow, while the most recent auction of 10-year Treasurys didn't meet quite as much demand as its predecessor in June, even though the bid-to-cover ratio was above the long-term average, he says.
The Nasdaq fell nearly 2%, with the largest selling volume of the 'Seven Sisters' in a year and a half, while small caps and Chinese concept stocks surged, and US bonds rose sharply.

The Russell 2000 small-cap stocks rose 3.6%, the best since November last year and the highest in two and a half years, and the worst-performing real estate sector this year had the largest increase in the year. US bond yields fell sharply across the board, with the US dollar falling the deepest in two months. The yen rose by 2.6% at one point, the biggest gain since the end of 2022, and anonymous officials confirmed that the government intervened to rescue the currency.

US Treasury Yields Plummet as Inflation Surprises, Fed Dovish Bets Grow
US Treasury bond yields tanked on Thursday after the US Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) revealed a surprise fall in inflation before Wall Street opened.
Even with a significant drop in inflation in the United States, it was not enough to save the dismal sale of ultra-long-term US Treasury auctions. The 30-year government bonds performed poorly.
There was a significant tail yield difference in this auction, with both bidding multiples and overseas demand being weak. Analysts say that this was a very bad auction, on a day when the U.S. CPI dropped sharply and the yield curve plummeted, auction results pushed the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield up 2 basis points from its intra-day low, hovering slightly above the 4.18% level.

Ten-Year U.S. Treasury Yield in Search of Driver to Fall
The 10-year U.S. Treasury yield is back in the 4.25%-4.30% area, looking for an excuse to dip lower, and Thursday's release of U.S. CPI data, due at 1230 GMT, could be that driver, rates strategists at ING say in a note. "The rationale for doing so can come from Thursday's CPI report for June," they say. They see the economic environment shaping up for bond-friendly outcomes, and on that assumption, U.S. Treasurys can continue to perform, they say. That would imply lower yields. The 10-year U.S. Treasury yield is trading at 4.296%, up 1.5 basis points, according to Tradeweb. The headline inflation is expected at 3.1% in June versus 3.3% in May, while core inflation is expected unchanged at 3.4%, according to a poll by The Wall Street Journal.
