Investors have also lowered their expectations for rate cuts from two reductions just a week ago to barely one cut in the last quarter of 2025.
As a result, TNOTE prices were pushed to record-low levels and are now only 1.90% above the bottom of the interest rate hike cycle at the end of 2023.

In this regard, the most important factors will be inflation data and a sustained increase in price pressure — longer than two or three consecutive months. TNOTE quotes are losing another 0.15% today, dropping to 107.26 points. Source: xStation 5
