NEW YORK, April 10 (Reuters) - U.S. Treasury yields
spiked on Wednesday after inflation data came in higher than
expected, pushing the benchmark 10-year yield higher
by about 15 basis points to over 4.5%, its highest since
November last year.
U.S. consumer prices increased more than expected in March
amid rises in the costs of gasoline and shelter, casting further
doubt on whether the Federal Reserve will start cutting interest
rates in June.
Two-year yields also spiked by over 15 basis points and were
last seen at 4.94%, also their highest level since November.
Fed funds futures traders trimmed their expectations for
interest rate cuts to a total of 45 basis points for 2024, down
from 67 points ahead of the inflation data.
