Historic Shifts in the U.S. Treasury Market: From Losses to Credibility

The 10-year Treasury bond is set to experience its third consecutive year of losses in 2023, marking a historic event that has never occurred in 250 years of U.S. history. Bank of America strategists attribute this to a 40% surge in U.S. nominal GDP growth since the COVID-19 lows of 2020. Bond returns have been negatively impacted by the Federal Reserve's interest rate hikes aimed at controlling inflation. While the stock market has performed better this year, the rally has been concentrated in U.S. stocks, particularly in the technology sector, with global market breadth at its lowest since 2003.

"10-year Treasury Bond: A 'Screaming Buy' as Fed Restores Inflation-Fighting Credibility"

The 10-year Treasury bond is considered a "screaming buy" for investors as the Federal Reserve has regained credibility in fighting inflation. The bond's yield recently reached its highest level since 2008 but is expected to decrease over the next year. The Fed's success in curbing inflation has restored confidence in its ability to manage high prices. Falling Treasury yields may lead to increased investment in stocks. However, concerns about the US debt level could potentially cause the 10-year Treasury yield to rise further.

The Impact of Federal Reserve Rate Hikes on Borrowing Costs and Global Financial Stability

The Federal Reserve's interest rate hikes do not directly cause borrowing costs to rise for most people; instead, the yield on the 10-year Treasury bond is a more important factor. When the Fed raises rates, the yield on the 10-year Treasury bond can either decline or climb, depending on investor sentiment about the economy. This yield has a significant impact on borrowing costs, including mortgage rates and other types of loans. Additionally, the 10-year Treasury yield affects stock valuations, particularly for technology companies, as it is used to discount future earnings. A higher yield can lead to a decrease in stock prices, as seen in the recent decline of tech stocks.
