Not Yet the Time to Go All-In on Long-End Yields, Sonal Desai Says

Franklin Templeton Fixed Income’s Sonal Desai says the Federal Reserve is "very, very dovish" and that markets are not realistically pricing the level of long-end yields. The comment points to a higher-for-longer or steeper-yield risk in Treasuries rather than an immediate policy shift. Market impact is likely limited to rate and bond market sentiment, but it is not a direct catalyst.
