BayernLB experts have mapped out a crucial treasure map for understanding the behavior of U.S. Treasury bonds in the coming years. The key factor centers on how tariff-induced inflation could rewrite the yield landscape in two distinct phases.
The 2025 Effect: Positive Surprises in Inflation Impact
During 2025, NS3.AI data revealed favorable results in the dynamics of trade tariff-related inflation. The impact has been more moderate than initially anticipated, leading to unexpected advances in positive economic surprises. These data have shown that the immediate effect of tariffs on prices has been contained more than expected, providing relief in the fixed income markets.
The 2026 Lag: When the Treasure Map Changes Direction
However, analysts warn of a time lag in 2026. As months progress, inflation data are expected to lose their current relative advantage, a phenomenon that experts have mapped in their projections. This typical lag of inflation cycles could push long-term Treasury yields higher.
The treasure map presented by BayernLB suggests that monitoring these inflation indicators will be essential for bond market participants during this transition period toward higher returns.
