Treasuries rose at the end of a volatile week as the Federal Reserve’s favorite inflation gauge cemented traders’ expectations for an interest-rate cut in September.
The advance pushed yields lower across the curve on Friday, with two- and 10-year yields down by about five basis points to 4.39% and 4.2%, respectively. US government debt is on pace for a third-straight month of gains, according to data compiled by Bloomberg, the best streak since mid-2021.
