July 29, 2022 Headlines

Treasury yields are higher this morning, led by the front-end which is up 6 bps, while equity futures retraced earlier gains. Inflation data catalyzed the move as the employment cost index rose by 1.3% vs 1.2% expected while PCE rose by 1.0% vs 0.9% expected. Both readings stoked fears that the Fed will take more aggressive action to fight what appears to be stubbornly high inflation.
