US Inflation Data Could Test Bond and Stock Market Rallies

US Inflation Data Could Test Bond and Stock Market Rallies

Investors are waiting for Tuesday’s US inflation report for clues about the economy and interest rates.

The report measures changes in consumer prices and may influence the Federal Reserve’s decisions.

Bond traders want to know whether Treasury prices can keep rising after a recent rally.

Treasury bonds have also drawn demand as a haven, but the inflation figures could challenge that momentum.

The stock rally has spread beyond Big Tech, in a shift known as a rotation trade.

The inflation data and Fed speakers could test whether that shift lasts.

Investors will watch the figures and the Fed’s comments for signals about the policy path.
