Investment sentiment for U.S. Treasury bonds deteriorated once more as the U.S. Consumer Price Index (CPI) and PPI exceeded expectations in January.

The U.S. Department of Labor announced on this day that the PPI in January rose 0.3% compared to the previous month on a seasonally adjusted basis.

This figure exceeds the 0.1% increase expected by experts compiled by the Wall Street Journal (WSJ). It was also the largest increase in five months.

On a non-seasonal basis, PPI in January rose 0.9% compared to January last year. This was also a larger increase than the 0.6% rise that Wall Street expected.

January’s core PPI, excluding food, energy, and trade, also rose 0.6% compared to the previous month, recording the largest increase in a year since January of last year.

The previously released January CPI also exceeded Wall Street expectations, dampening investor sentiment. This is because of the analysis that the Federal Reserve System (Fed) will further delay the base interest rate cut as inflation is more persistent than expected.

In addition, as PPI does not come down as expected, bond investors are also confused regarding which direction to take their positions. Producer prices are wholesale prices and tend to lead the consumer price index (CPI).
