Analysts Link Bond Yields to Fiscal Risk and Federal Reserve Expectations
What happened
Analysts James Carville and Paul Beaudry examined market fears stemming from Federal Reserve official speeches. The bond market is currently viewed by some as 'bond vigilantes' warning against excessive government borrowing and high deficits. Rising Treasury yields could express doubt about fiscal policy or reflect expectations that the Federal Reserve will keep its overnight interest rate higher than previously anticipated.
