Estimated


The Treasury curve is flatter, with the front end of the yield curve 2 to 4 bps higher, while the long end is essentially unchanged as the market continues to digest the impact of US tariffs.

Investors are concerned that tariffs will push inflation higher and consumers will slow their spending, hurting economic growth. An analysis by ING estimates that the tariffs could cost US consumers roughly $835 per person.
