Friday brought some higher volatility on the markets as newest inflation data were released, as well as the consumer sentiment. Although 10Y Treasury yields spent the first half of the week testing levels above 4.20%, still, released inflation data pushed the yields toward the 4.40% level. Released PCE data showed inflation at 2.6% y/y, which was the lowest level for the last three years. Still, the market also took into consideration Michigan consumer sentiment, which reached the level above the market estimate, and exposed consumer expectations that the inflation will stay elevated around 3% within the next year.

The market priced recent available information regarding the potential Fed's move in the coming period. The CME Group's FedWatch Tool is still showing that the majority of participants are expecting that the first rate cut might occur at September`s FOMC meeting. Still, it should be noted that Fed Governor Michelle Bowman noted in an interview during the week, that she does not dismiss the possibility of increasing interest rates if inflation turns to the upside again.

Since the market reached the 4.4% level on Friday, it could be expected that digesting of the latest inflation data will continue within the week ahead. In this sense, there is a higher probability that yields will ease during the week, at least to the level of 4.3%.
