Summary
Bond traders are laser-focused on this week’s jobs report, as a strong labor market could push the Fed toward rate hikes next year—especially with inflation stubbornly high and oil prices climbing. While 10-year yields have dipped slightly from their peak, they’re still above February levels, and options traders are betting yields could surge past 5% soon. With inflation above target and wage pressures mounting, consumers are feeling the squeeze, which could slow the economy. The May report, expected to show 90K new jobs and steady unemployment, will be key: if it confirms resilience, markets may start pricing in more aggressive Fed tightening. Some investors are turning to short-term notes for safety as the Fed signals it’s ready to hike—or cut—depending on the data. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
