Fed Is Not Entire Story for Long-End Bonds, TD’s Brooks Says

TD Securities’ Molly Brooks flags an “asymmetric risk” to markets from Fed Chair Kevin Warsh’s Jackson Hole comments next week. She also outlines potential drivers behind the recent sell-off/back-up in long-end Treasuries, implying the move may not be fully contained to near-term data and could shift investor positioning. Overall, the note is cautious and likely to influence rates sentiment rather than immediately change the broader macro baseline.
