That was the lowest yield since September 20, according to Dow Jones Market Data.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n      The yield on the 30-year Treasury<br \/>\n        BX:TMUBMUSD30Y<br \/>\n       was rising 0.5 basis point to 4.579%, snapping a three-day streak of falling yields, according to Dow Jones Market Data.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>What drove markets<\/h2>\n<p>Minutes of the Federal Reserve\u2019s November policy meeting showed Fed officials remained concerned that the strong U.S. economy would cause inflation to reaccelerate. They all agreed that monetary policy must remain in a restrictive stance \u201cfor some time\u201d until inflation is clearly moving toward their 2% goal, according to minutes released Tuesday afternoon. <\/p>\n<div class=\"paywall\">\n<p><strong>See: <\/strong>\u2018Most\u2019 Fed officials continue to worry about reacceleration of inflation, minutes show<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0\u201cThe committee seems to be in a \u2018wait and see\u2019 mode, willing to be patient as more data helps clarify the inflation trajectory,\u201d wrote Jeffrey J. Roach, chief economist at LPL Research, in emailed commentary. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cMarkets should expect Powell and other committee members to remain hawkish in tone, but that does not necessarily imply the Fed will hike further. Markets expect the next move to be a rate cut by mid-2024,\u201d Roach said. <\/p>\n<p>Traders were still pricing in a 94.8% probability that the Fed will leave interest rates unchanged at a range of 5.25% to 5.50% after its next meeting on December 13th, and the subsequent meeting on Jan. 31, according to the CME FedWatch tool.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the chance of a 25-basis-point rate cut by May was seen at around 46%, up from 30% a month ago.<\/p>\n<p><strong>See: <\/strong>Central banks are cutting interest rates at fastest clip in years. When will the Fed join them?<\/p>\n<p>After recent data showed easing U.S. inflation and a cooling jobs market, investors believe the Fed is now very unlikely to raise interest rates again, and that has helped push the 10-year Treasury yield down from a 16-year high above 5%, touched last month, to a two-month trough below 4.5%, according to Dow Jones Market Data. <\/p>\n<p>Also helping the bond rally was a well-received auction of 20-year U.S. government bonds on Monday, which calmed fears after a poor sale of long bonds a few weeks ago meant foreign buyers were shunning U.S. paper.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe favorable response to the 20-year bond auction might indicate that the issues experienced with the 30-year sale were, to some extent, a misleading representation,\u201d said Stephen Innes, managing partner at SPI Asset Management.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s worth recalling that technical problems related to the ICBC hack were widely perceived as contributing to the seemingly poor outcome of the long bond sale,\u201d Innes said.<\/p>\n<p>In U.S. economic data, existing-home sales fell 4.1% in October to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 3.79 million, the National Association of Realtors said Tuesday. Sales are down 14.6% from a year ago.<\/p>\n<p>U.S. bond markets will be closed Thursday for the Thanksgiving Day holiday, and will close early on Friday. <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Read the full article <a href=\"https:\/\/www.marketwatch.com\/story\/10-year-treasury-yields-hold-near-4-4-ahead-of-fed-minutes-84135f95?mod=economy-politics\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Longer-dated U.S. Treasury yields held mostly steady on Tuesday, hovering near two-months lows after the minutes from the Federal Reserve\u2019s recent rate-setting meeting showed that policymakers all agreed that monetary policy will need to remain restrictive amid concerns about persistent inflation.
