10-year Treasury yield jumps as September core inflation comes in hotter than expected
Traders raised rate expectations as core inflation ran above forecasts, with the 10-year yield climbing above 5.30%, analysts said.
- On Wednesday, Treasury yields inched lower as investors awaited the September CPI report, with the benchmark 10-year yield falling 2 basis points to 5.195%.
- Economists polled by Dow Jones expect Headline inflation to rise 0.6% monthly and 3.6% annually, while Core inflation is projected to increase 0.2% from August and 2.5% on an annual basis.
- Investors also await the September reading for the producer price index, retail sales data, and initial jobless claims figures, all scheduled for release on Thursday.

- Deutsche Bank analysts noted Wednesday that the CPI comes two weeks before the Federal Reserve's next interest rate decision, with price growth accelerating away from the Fed's 2% target.
