TFP W17 2025: Flushed out of the UST market

  • Imploding leveraged positions appear to largely explain the spike in UST yields, as inflation expectations have not changed materially while selling by tariff-impacted countries remains orderly.
  • Policy uncertainty and heavy debt issuance may continue to breathe volatility into the UST market, especially with the Fed continuing to insist that the reserves position remains ample.
  • Indonesia continues to be on the wrong side of the US market implosion, but continuous outflows and the weakening Rupiah may not force BI to abandon its dovish bias.
