Morgan Stanley economists revised their third-quarter GDP estimate to 4.9%, up from 4.5% previously. And the Atlanta Fed\u2019s GDPNow estimate for third-quarter GDP was changed to 5.4%, up from a 5.1% estimate on Oct. 10.<\/p>\n<div class=\"paywall\">\n<p>In remarks made on Wednesday, Fed Gov. Christopher Waller\u00a0said policy makers need to \u201cwait, watch and see\u201d how the economy evolves before making any interest-rate moves. <\/p>\n<p>Markets are pricing in a 97.2% probability that the Fed will leave interest rates unchanged at a range of 5.25%-5.5% on Nov. 1, according to the CME FedWatch Tool. The chance of a 25-basis-point rate hike to a range of 5.5%-5.75% by December was seen at 40.8%.<\/p>\n<p>Treasury\u2019s $13 billion of 20-year bonds, held at 1 p.m. Eastern time on Wednesday, was \u201cwell received\u201d as more indirect bidders stepped up to make purchases, according to Tom di Galoma, co-head of global rates trading for BTIG in New York.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, inflation concerns were reinforced by oil prices, which moved back toward highs seen in late September amid rising tensions in the Middle East. Oil surged on Wednesday as Iran reportedly called for an embargo on selling oil to Israel.<\/p>\n<p>Also on Wednesday, the Bank of Japan announced another round of unscheduled bond purchases after the country\u2019s 10-year bond yield hit a fresh decade-high of 0.815%, according to Bloomberg.<\/p>\n<h2>What analysts are saying<\/h2>\n<p>\u201cEconomic news out of the US continues to dumbfound expectations. September retail sales expanded by 0.7% month-on-month, comfortably above the 0.3% consensus and the sixth straight month of positive gains. Most economists, and indeed the Federal Reserve itself, had warned that a slowdown in consumer spending, and even a recession, was likely on the way towards the end of this year,\u201d said Matthew Ryan, head of market strategy at global financial services firm Ebury in London.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe main draw will, however, be an appearance from FOMC chair Jerome Powell in New York on Thursday, who will be speaking on the topic of the US economic outlook,\u201d Ryan said. \u201cAt present, futures are back assigning more than a 50% chance of another FOMC hike by January.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Read the full article <a href=\"https:\/\/www.marketwatch.com\/story\/benchmark-treasury-yields-choppy-after-touching-16-year-highs-on-strong-economic-data-rising-oil-prices-3e6deda8?mod=markets\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Long-term Treasury yields remained higher on the day, though the 30-year rate pulled back from 5% after a strong 20-year auction Wednesday afternoon, as investors focused on signs that the U.S. economy remains resilient.
