ME News Message, December 18 (UTC+8), analyst Anstey indicated that U.S. Treasury yields have risen from earlier lows, while the gains in stock index futures have also been quite limited since the release of CPI data. Investors are likely considering that there is still a long way to go before the Federal Reserve's interest rate decision on January 28. U.S. interest rate strategist Ira Jersey stated that the low-level CPI year-on-year data will make it easier for the doves within the Federal Reserve to argue that further rate cuts should be implemented if December's economic data is weak. After the initial position closing operations, this should trigger a certain degree of yield curve bull steepening. (Source: ME)
