Yields retreat as traders await fresh inflation data
TL;DR Summary
U.S. Treasuries eased as investors braced for a wholesale inflation read (PPI) while parsing a still-robust labor market: 10-year yields around 4.023%, 30-year about 4.675%, and 2-year near 3.452%. Initial unemployment claims for the week ended Feb. 21 came in at 212,000, below expectations of 215,000, signaling resilience despite a solid January payrolls print. Traders expect Friday’s PPI to rise about 0.3% for both headline and core measures, a cooler report that could boost risk appetite for stocks.
