🚨 COOLER INFLATION, BUT THE BOND MARKET IS NOT CONVINCED
The biggest story today is not just stocks bouncing.
The real question is whether this is a genuine relief rally—or just a temporary reaction to softer inflation data.
US PCE inflation came in below expectations:
Headline PCE: 3.4% YoY
Core PCE: 3.0% YoY
Both were cooler than economists expected.
Markets reacted positively:
Nasdaq: +0.92%
S&P 500: +0.53%
Dow Jones: +0.08%
But the bond market is still sending a warning.
The US 10Y Treasury yield remains around 5.24%.
Brent crude is near $99, while Bitcoin is trading around $83.3K and gold is near $4,178.
This creates a complicated market setup.
Cooler inflation supports hopes for easier monetary policy.
But elevated Treasury yields, strong energy prices and a firm US dollar are keeping financial conditions tight.
If oil remains elevated, inflation could become sticky again.
That means stocks can rally on soft data today—and still face pressure if yields move higher tomorrow.
Watch these markets closely:
10Y Treasury yield
30Y Treasury yield
Brent crude
US Dollar
Nasdaq
Bitcoin near the $82K–$83K zone
Gold
The inflation data is cooling.
But the risk premium is not.
Do not trade the headline alone.
Watch the yield reaction after the relief rally.
