INVESTORS PILE INTO LONG-TERM U.S. TREASURIES AHEAD OF CPI AND FED DECISION Investors are favoring longer-term Treasuries, pushing long-term yields lower faster than short-term rates, according to BMO.

Recent Fed commentary suggests a gradual tightening path, reducing expectations of an October rate increase. Wednesday's CPI report is the next major catalyst for bond markets.(彭博社)
