  • Inflation data is also stronger but has not yet changed view that policy is on a path to neutral

  • Stronger data likely pushing Treasury yields higher
  • Too soon to understand new administration
  • Rising bond yields also offer a sense of higher inflation risk and some sense the Fed may not cut as much
