The yield on the US 10-year Treasury note experienced a slight decrease to 4.16% on Monday, maintaining its proximity to the lows observed earlier in September. This change comes as market participants prepare for a significant week filled with the release of crucial economic data that had previously been postponed. Among the notable updates are the jobs report, CPI inflation figures, and retail sales data, which are anticipated to provide insights into the current state of the US economy. These reports will be instrumental in assessing whether the Federal Reserve is nearing the conclusion of its cycle of easing, following three consecutive rate cuts, or if more assertive measures are still necessary. Last week, the Federal Reserve reduced the federal funds rate by 25 basis points for the third consecutive meeting and indicated that another 25-basis-point reduction is being considered for 2026. In other developments, global investors are keeping a close watch on forthcoming monetary policy announcements from major central banks. The European Central Bank (ECB) is expected to maintain its rate levels, the Bank of England (BoE) is projected to lower borrowing costs by 25 basis points, while the Bank of Japan (BoJ) is anticipated to increase rates by 25 basis points.
