The yield on the US 10-year Treasury note rose to over 4.63% on Wednesday, the highest level since the start of May, and triggering sharp selling pressure for government bonds worldwide as a strong macroeconomic backdrop and concerns of stubborn inflation prolonged expectations of higher interest rates by the Fed. Consumer confidence compiled by the Conference Board surged, while housing prices unexpectedly accelerated and inflation expectations held at high levels. Also, Minneapolis Federal Reserve President Neel Kashkari suggested that more positive inflation data would be necessary before considering rate reductions this year, while noting that another hike is not ruled out.

Markets now expect the Fed to hold its funds rate in September, and only cut its rate once this year.
