Bond Market Braces For July CPI Data: A Test Of Fed's Control Over Inflation
Portfolio Pulse from Piero Cingari
The bond market's anticipation of long-term U.S. inflation is nearing its highest level in over a year, suggesting that the Federal Reserve might grapple with high inflation rates for an extended period. The 5-year/5-year forward inflation breakeven rate, a long-term inflation predictor, indicates a trend towards 2.5%. This contradicts the belief that the Fed's aggressive interest rate hikes will contain the biggest increase in consumer prices since the 1980s. Forecasts for this week’s consumer price index report project a 3.3% annual growth in July.
