Investor Flows and Bond Yields in the US
American economic data indicates that GDP growth slowed to 1.5% in the second quarter of the year, with inflationary pressures persisting and U.S. Treasury bond yields rising to their highest levels in nearly 19 years. Despite the slowdown in growth, the U.S. labor market remains strong, as initial jobless claims came in below expectations. The rising energy prices, especially amid geopolitical tensions, add to the uncertainty surrounding future policies, with the Federal Reserve facing complex choices between maintaining a hawkish stance to combat inflation or easing policies to support growth. Additionally, the increase in long-term bond yields, coupled with the link between growth, declining migration, and political turbulence, deepens market uncertainty.
