JP Morgan cite 4 reasons for lower US 10 year Treasury yields, have a year-end 3.5% target

<p>JP Morgan noted on Monday that it is confirming its view of lower UST yield in H2 this year, citing </p><ul><li>disinflation, </li><li>the potential from a Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) policy error, </li><li>the risk of 'rollover' in spending by consumers, </li><li>the risk of rollover in the jobs market.</li></ul><p>“We continue to believe that US 10-year bond yield has peaked at 4.2%, a call we made last October” </p><ul><li>“We believe that yields are more likely to move lower in 2H from current levels, rather than higher. There is further evidence that we are moving into a disinflation phase," </li><li>"In addition, there is a potential for a policy mistake, keeping the yield curve strongly inverted, and a risk of a rollover in consumer spending and labor markets, each of which could bring yields down in 2H of this year.”</li><li>“Our FI team has 3.5% end year target.”</li></ul>
