In 2022, investors watched the Federal Reserve hike interest rates very quickly. And this in turn saw bond yields move much higher.
Now in 2023, bond yields are beginning to moderate and pull back. We discussed why the odds favored a pullback on 10-year bond yields yesterday.

U.S. 2-Year Yield Monthly Chart

Taken together, 2-year yields look to be suggesting a peak in fed funds has happened again. Stay tuned.
