The US government bond market is signalling that the Federal Reserve will be able to tame inflation in coming years without snuffing out growth in the world’s biggest economy.

Longer term break-even rates suggest that markets are expecting the Fed to succeed in pushing inflation back towards its 2 per cent target.The rising yields, coupled with steady inflation expectations, have pushed returns bond investors can expect to earn after inflation is taken into account sharply higher since the end of last year.
In 2021, the US economy rebounded from the historic pandemic-induced recession by growing at the fastest annual pace since 1984.

The market responded by sending yields on US Treasuries jumping, with the 10-year yield hitting its highest level since January 2020.
