Consequently, the yield on the benchmark ten-year note, which inversely correlates with its price, dropped by 3.3 basis points to 3.909 percent.The rally in treasury securities was driven by traders’ anticipation of several critical U.S. economic reports due later this week.On Tuesday and Wednesday, the Labor Department is set to release data on producer and consumer price inflation, respectively. These reports are expected to influence interest rate forecasts.Projections suggest a deceleration in the annual rate of price growth, potentially bolstering the case for the Federal Reserve to lower rates.The Federal Reserve is widely anticipated to reduce interest rates next month. CME Group’s FedWatch Tool currently shows a divided outlook, with probabilities split between a quarter-point and a half-point rate cut.Given recent economic uncertainties, traders are also expected to closely monitor upcoming reports on retail sales and industrial production.Tuesday’s trading could be significantly influenced by reactions to the Labor Department’s July producer price inflation report.The material has been provided by InstaForex Company – www.instaforex.com
