The market will repeatedly test the resolve to control inflation, and until the real yields on 10-, 20-, and 30-year Treasuries fall, it is only suitable for agile trading.

This is because it is likely that CPI will come in favorable, pushing prices up; forward Treasury yields will rise and then pull back; rate hikes meet expectations and then rise further; when the market does not believe the Fed’s resolve, forward Treasury yields will rise again and then fall.

Over and over and over and over again—constant friction.
