US$ MMF Net 7-day Yield: +3.55%*
During the July FOMC Meeting, the Fed held rates. While front-end Treasury yields eased as expectations for near-term tightening moderated, longer-dated yields rose sharply, steepening the curve. HSBC attributes the moves to greater uncertainty around the lack of forward guidance, renewed inflation concerns, and positioning adjustments following the FOMC meeting. Elevated geopolitical risks and energy market developments remain key drivers of rate expectations.
Looking ahead, investors will focus on upcoming US employment data and comments from Fed officials for further signals on the interest rate trajectory. Nevertheless, it is worth noting that with a resilient labour market, the impact of the employment data is likely little, and the focus is likely going to be on the developments of the Middle East conflict and its impact on energy prices. Separately, the August quarterly refunding announcement will also be in focus.
* 7-day net yield is calculated based on calendar days and NAVs in 5-decimal.
