Bullish and bearish watch framework

Bond prices tend to benefit when growth and inflation expectations cool, while stronger inflation, heavier supply, or a higher term premium can weigh on them. Separate changes in real yields from changes in inflation expectations before drawing a conclusion.

Timing and events

Watch data releases that can quickly reprice the expected policy path. Confirm release times with the relevant central bank or public agency because schedules can change.

Key risks

Treasury prices and yields can move sharply around data, auctions, and central-bank communication. Duration means longer maturities may react more strongly to the same change in yields.
