According to reports, at the beginning of 2026, concerns about accelerating inflation have once again intensified in the market. Several fund managers have warned that soaring metal prices, rising costs in energy and infrastructure driven by AI, and uncertainty about the independence brought by Trump's replacement of the Fed chairman in May could lead to inflation levels far exceeding previous expectations this year.
Currently, inflation remains above the Fed's 2% target. If price pressures continue to intensify, the market's previously expected two rate cuts in 2026 (each 25 basis points) may be difficult to achieve, and there is even a risk of no rate cuts throughout the year.
Although the US stock and bond markets have not fully priced in this risk, some institutions have begun to adopt defensive strategies. Several investors have pointed out that if the 10-year US Treasury yield surpasses 4.3%, it could become an important warning signal for inflation and financial market pressure.
