π US Treasury Yields Continue to Rise Amid Fed Rate Cut Expectations
#USTreasuryYields #FedRateCut #BondMarket #InterestRates #NonFarmPayroll #JobGrowth #Economy #LaborMarket #FinancialNews
According to BlockBeats, on September 4, Tuesday, U.S. Treasury yields continued their upward trend, with the two-year Treasury yield dropping from over 5% at the end of April to around 3.85%. This four-month rise marks the longest continuous increase since 2021.
This movement is driven by market expectations that the Federal Reserve will lower its benchmark interest rate by more than two percentage points within the next 12 months. Such a reduction would be the largest outside of economic downturns since the 1980s.
For bond bulls, this scenario presents a risk: if the labor market, which showed significant cooling in July, remains resilient, the Federal Reserve may opt for a more gradual pace of rate cuts. The first major test of this will come on Friday when the U.S. government releases the non-farm payroll data for August. Economists anticipate that the report will show a rebound in job growth and a decrease in the unemployment rate.#USTreasuryYields #FedRateCut #BondMarket #InterestRates #NonFarmPayroll #JobGrowth #Economy #LaborMarket #FinancialNews

According to BlockBeats, on September 4, Rune, co-founder of Sky (formerly Maker), discussed the possibility of implementing a decentralized appeal process for the new cryptocurrency stablecoin USDS as part of its freezing function.
USDS will not have a freezing function upon its launch. However, if the governing body decides to add this feature, it can be upgraded. Should this function be implemented, users whose USDS are frozen could leverage decentralized governance to ensure transparency and due process.
Rune mentioned that it is unclear when or if the USDS freezing function will be introduced. He emphasized that it would require extensive legal, political, and regulatory analysis, as well as a thorough design process completed by Sky's decentralized governance body.#Sky #USDS #Decentralized #Cryptocurrency #Stablecoin #Governance #Transparency #Legal #Regulatory #Blockchain

π US Treasury Bonds Expected to Extend Gains, Says Analyst
#USTreasuryBonds #MarketTrends #SafeHavenAssets #FederalReserve #InterestRates #CurveSteepening #CorporateBonds #FinancialAnalysis
According to BlockBeats, on September 4, Pepperstone Senior Research Strategist Michael Brown stated in a report that U.S. Treasury bonds might continue their upward trend from Tuesday. The gains on Tuesday were led by long-term bonds, although they might be somewhat restrained by the issuance of a large number of new corporate bonds.
Brown noted that while the demand for safe-haven assets might sustain these gains, if this demand persists over the next few trading days, the market could start to reprice the Federal Reserve's outlook in a more hawkish direction. This could lead to another sell-off in short-term Treasury bonds and a new round of curve steepening.
He added that the current expectations in the money market for the Federal Reserve to cut interest rates by 100 basis points by the end of the year remain overly optimistic.#USTreasuryBonds #MarketTrends #SafeHavenAssets #FederalReserve #InterestRates #CurveSteepening #CorporateBonds #FinancialAnalysis

According to BlockBeats, on September 4, CoinDesk reported that the crypto derivatives protocol Volmex Finance introduced a new implied volatility index for the SOL token on Tuesday.
