A Wild Ride for US 10-Year Yield in 2023: Ending Where It Began

From Quiver Quantitative LLC:

In 2023, the US 10-year Treasury yield experienced dramatic fluctuations, but ended the year close to where it started. Volatility swung between 3.25% and 5%, amid initial recession fears and later resilience. Wall Street experts initially predicted a recession followed by a 2024 rate-cutting bonanza, but experienced a significant recovery late in the year. Market expectations for over 150 basis points of rate cuts in 2024 resulted in significant end-of-year gains. The year concluded with the 10-year yield around 3.86%, and the Bloomberg Treasury index gained approximately 4% for the year. Bond investors saw a dramatic recovery.
