Bond traders’ big bet for 2026 vindicated by soft US job growth


(Jan 12) : Bond investors’ overarching wager on the path of the Federal Reserve and the Treasuries market in 2026 looks like it has room to run.

The gap between 2- and 10-year Treasury yields reached the largest in almost nine months last week.

It would also work if signs of healthy growth cause long-term yields to rise, or if deficit worries mount, he said.
