The yield on the 10-year US Treasury note rebounded to 5.46% on Monday, its highest level in more than two weeks, underscoring expectations that the Federal Reserve will keep interest rates elevated, even after a mid-session pullback in energy prices. Upcoming inflation data, due Wednesday, are expected to exceed 4%, reinforcing the recent acceleration in consumer prices.

This inflation backdrop is coupled with a resilient labor market: job growth has remained above recent averages despite the Fed’s expressed concerns about a potential stalling in labor force dynamics. Together, these conditions give the central bank additional room to maintain interest rates at restrictive levels to curb inflation. Interest rate futures continue to signal expectations of a Fed rate hike later this year.

These market moves persisted even as Israel and Iran pledged to hold fire after their weekend escalation, easing energy prices and creating an opening for further talks between Tehran and the United States.
