2 Question Tuesday – 08/27/2024 – Are Bond Traders Taking On A Lot Of Risk Betting On A Treasury Market Rally? Does The Jobs Report Change Your Outlook On Rate Cuts And The Economy?

Welcome to 2 Question Tuesday. This week’s client submitted questions were:

  1. Are bond traders taking on a lot of risk betting on a Treasury market rally?
  2. Does the jobs report change your outlook on rate cuts and the economy?

Phil, Mike, and Larry discuss reports that bond traders are taking on a record amount of risk, betting big on a Treasury market rally fueled by expectations that the Federal Reserve will cut rates next month. They then talk about the Labor Department revising its last jobs report 30% lower by 818,000 fewer jobs than originally reported in the 12-month period through March 2024, and what this means for the Fed.
