- US consumer price index rose 0.2% in March on monthly basis, however dropped -0.1% on a yearly basis. However core consumer prices excluding the volatile components like food and energy rose at faster pace of 1.8% y/y in March, better than previous and expected at 1.7%. CPI core was positive 0.2% m/m.
US treasury yields which has been dropping this month after FOMC's push last month followed by weak job report. 2 year yields dropped from 0.73% in Mid-March pre FOMC.
- Friday US 2 year yield dropped 0.468, close to the lowest level since February. 5 year yield dropped to 1.265 from 1.70 in March. However Friday 2 year finally closed at 0.50% and as of today trading close to 0.52%.
However it is too early to say that yields have curved bottom for now along with dollar, both remain pretty vulnerable to weak economic dockets.
