Last Friday (19 JAN), the U.S. annual inflation rate expectation for January was recorded at 2.8%, the lowest level since 2020. The Michigan Consumer Sentiment Index was higher than expected at 78.8, the highest since July 2021. In the past few days, U.S. Treasury yields have fluctuated slightly at recent highs, with the two-year/ten-year yields respectively at 4.395% / 4.113%. On the other hand, influenced by relatively hawkish remarks from several Fed officials and strong data, the market expectation for the Fed not to cut rates in March has been raised to 56.8%. The upcoming February 1st FOMC meeting is considered a key moment for the Fed’s stance. Core data this week, including PMI and PCE, will also have a significant impact on the content of the next meeting.
