A Buying Opportunity In The Bond Market This Summer

April CPI is expected to rise 0.6% month over month and 3.8% annualized, with higher oil prices and geopolitical tensions adding inflationary pressure. Treasury yields are climbing, with the 10-year potentially reaching 4.5%–4.75% and the 30-year up to 5.25%, which is a headwind for duration but may improve long-term bond value. The setup is broadly risk-off as inflation and yields both move higher.
