January ended with a big week for economic data, including the first Federal Reserve decision of the year and the first employment data reading. While the Fed’s statement dropped any tightening bias, Chair Powell’s press conference curtailed market hopes for a near-term pivot to less restrictive monetary policy. This saw Treasury yields fall steeply after the meeting. However, this descent was ultimately short-lived, as much stronger than expected employment data on Friday sent yields higher. At time of writing, the ten-year Treasury yield was 12 basis-points lower on the week.
