MC Interview: 'US bond yields might see upward trend if inflation remains a concern, Fed maintains hawkish stance'
Sonam Srivastava, Founder and Fund Manager at Wright Research, believes that the recent rise in US treasury yields may be a short-term adjustment as the market digests the implications for inflation and potential policy changes. Depending on economic data and Fed actions, yields may continue to rise if inflation remains a concern and the Fed maintains a hawkish stance. The impact of rising yields on global equity markets, including India, could put downward pressure on stock prices. The possibility of stagflation has been hinted at, but further data and Fed decisions will determine if this becomes a reality.
