US Treasury yields to rise amid debt ceiling standoff – Reuters poll
US Treasury yields will rise significantly over the coming month, per a survey of nearly 28 analysts by Reuters conducted during May 05 to 11. The poll also states that the respondents were split over whether the risk of a US default was higher or the same as prior stand-offs over the debt ceiling.
Key findings
Half of the respondents said the risk of a default was higher this time compared to prior episodes of debt ceiling brinkmanship.
Analysts, however, warned that the current situation may be riskier owing to widening political divides.
U.S. 2-year and 10-year yields are forecast to rise over the coming month by around 20 and 10 basis points, respectively.
Asked in what range the 10-year yield, currently at 3.38%, would trade over the coming month, the median response from strategists who were polled was 3.30%-3.60%.
Individual responses ranged from as low as 3.0% to as high as 4.0%.
