Inflation Rises, Rates Ease
中文标题
通胀上升，利率缓和
Core conclusion · Tlines extraction
US September inflation drifted higher, yet Natixis argues a Fed pause is more likely than not, giving room to complete scaling into 2yr longs. Treasuries rallied despite bad inflation data and a silent Warsh, suggesting the market is forming a floor. The bank debates whether Treasury could cut or eliminate 20yr issuance, which would flatten the curve and lift the long end.

Key arguments
- Front-end pricing near four hikes over the next year is a soft ceiling worth leaning against, given the house call of one more hike.
- Inflation is not re-accelerating, merely not falling as fast as the Fed would prefer.
- Treasuries traded well through negative inflation news for the first time in months, suggesting a floor is forming.
- Cutting 20yr issuance entirely or significantly would rally the long end and flatten the curve, but the cumulative effect of negative net supply is uncertain.
Key numbers
- Fed funds rate near
- 5%
- 10yr+ maturities outstanding
- ~$5.5tn
- Front-end pricing over next year
- four hikes
- 30yr yields returned to pre-announcement level within
- two weeks
Main risks
- If AI buildout stalls, growth implications could materialise, although Natixis says it is probably premature to take this idea too far.
- Treasury becoming irregular and unpredictable could raise term premium, outweighing any long-end benefit from cutting 20yr issuance.
- The market's ability to rally through bad inflation data may not persist if inflation re-accelerates.
