Treasury Rally Signals Growth Fears Outweigh Inflation Concerns, Siebert Says
Siebert Financial's bond-market analysis suggests investors fear slowing growth more than inflation, despite September's unexpectedly sharp increase in producer prices. The 10-year Treasury yield fell roughly nine basis points to around 5.09%, signaling demand for safety despite the inflation shock. September producer prices rose 1.3% versus 0.6% expected; core PPI increased 0.7%, exceeding the 0.3% forecast. Companies with pricing power appear better positioned to withstand rising costs; gasoline retailers' margins fell 30.3% in September. The analysis cautions that Treasury yields could face renewed upward pressure if risk sentiment improves while inflation remains elevated.
