Treasury yields are little changed to start the week following a quiet overnight session.

There are no major data releases today, but the major economic event for this week is tomorrow’s CPI report for February. Additionally, wholesale inflation data (PPI) will be released on Thursday. We’ve reached the blackout period ahead of next week’s FOMC meeting, so there will be no public appearances from Fed leaders this week. Fed funds futures are currently pricing a small probability of a May rate cut and a high probability of the first cut coming in June. Such an action would require clear softening in labor market and inflation data, as Fed leaders have reiterated in recent weeks/months.
