Wall Street Left In Awe As Government Debt Surge Outruns 2024 Forecast
Portfolio Pulse from Benzinga Neuro
Government debt has surged beyond Wall Street's 2024 expectations due to a larger-than-expected drop in inflation and a revised outlook from the U.S. Federal Reserve. Yields on 10-year U.S. Treasuries fell nearly one percent since late October, with markets now expecting six rate cuts in the coming year. This has led to a rally in global stock and bond prices. The iShares 20+ Year Treasury Bond ETF (TLT) has entered a bull market with a 20% rally since October. Deutsche Bank AG (DB) has reduced exposure to short-term government bonds, while other analysts see the rally as a validation of their forecasts.
