U.S. Treasury Yields End Volatile Week Amid Tariff Concerns

According to BlockBeats, U.S. Treasury yields concluded a turbulent week on February 8 with mixed movements, as tariff threats sparked concerns over short-term inflation and potential economic slowdown later. Analysts have been attempting to assess the impact of tariffs on prices, but the intermittent approach of U.S. President Donald Trump's administration has complicated this task. The Consumer Price Index (CPI) and Producer Price Index (PPI) for January are set to be released next week, with little change anticipated. Meanwhile, market expectations for multiple interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve this year are diminishing. Over the week, the 10-year Treasury yield declined, while the 2-year Treasury yield increased.
