Deutsche Bank analysts highlight patient-sounding Federal Reserve commentary as officials stress the need for more evidence of inflation moving toward 2% before easing. Governor Barr signalled rates may stay steady for some time, prompting markets to slightly reduce 2026 rate-cut pricing. Two-year Treasury yields edged higher, while longer maturities were little changed, leading to modest curve flattening.

"In turn, 2yr Treasury yields edged higher (+2.7bps), while 10yr (+1.1bps) and 30yr (-0.6bps) saw muted moves, resulting in some curve flattening."
