Mixed Signals: U.S. Inflation and Treasury Yields Hold Steady While Jobless Claims Rise.

US Treasury yields remained mostly unchanged as investors analyzed this week's inflation data and its potential impact on the economy and Federal Reserve monetary policy. The latest inflation figures are likely to influence upcoming monetary policy decisions from the Federal Reserve, which has been raising rates since March 2022. The Fed hinted that its rate hiking campaign may be paused soon, but Chairman Jerome Powell noted that the battle against inflation was not over and policy decisions remained data-dependent.
