Treasurys

Hopes that the U.S. will reach other trade deals ahead of its self-imposed Aug. 1 deadline are mounting.

The recent rally was driven by economic data that reinforced wagers on at least two rate cuts this year, as well as speculation President Donald Trump will name a more dovish successor to Jerome Powell.

Yields across maturities declined, with those on two-year notes falling five basis points and most reaching the lowest level in more than a month.

Renewed expectations that the Federal Reserve could start cutting interest rates as soon as next month supported gains in the bond market.

Fiscal uncertainty in the US and the fact that Treasury yields aren't high enough to reflect the risk of holding them is making the securities less attractive.

Investors have grown more wary of lending to the US government for such a long time, and have demanded higher yields as a result, increasing a cushion known as the term premium.

Gundlach said investors should consider increasing their non-dollar-based holdings, adding that his firm was starting to introduce foreign currencies into its funds.

Markets are currently wagering the US central bank will cut interest-rates once more with around a 70% chance of a second move this year.

A quieter day for economic data Monday is shifting attention to US and China trade talks in London, and events later this week, including consumer inflation on Wednesday.

Interest-rate swaps showed traders now see a roughly 70% chance of a quarter-point rate cut by September. Fewer than two rate cuts are fully priced in for the year.
