U.S. bond volatility hits weekly high
A report shows that the "Moevf" index, which measures the volatility of the U.S. bond market, recorded its highest jump in over a year, rising by 29.69% during the week, with Treasury yields reaching their highest levels in nearly two decades. This increase was driven by a wave of market turbulence and expectations of a rate hike by the Federal Reserve, with about a 70% chance of an increase at the upcoming meeting. This comes after oil prices rose and U.S. economic activity accelerated, reaching its fastest pace in more than five years. At the same time, bond yields for 5 and 10 years reached their highest levels since 2007, with expectations of a 25 basis point interest rate hike in October.
