Last week’s Treasuries rally extended into Tuesday as the US bond market reopened after a holiday. Benchmark 10-year yields slipped two basis points to 4.03%, while the two-year equivalent edged toward its lowest since 2022 in thin Asia trading. Treasuries had finished last week strongly amid wagers that slowing inflation would allow the Federal Reserve to cut interest rates at least twice this year. “Softer US CPI last week and the ongoing systematic quant fund deleveraging in equities is driving the bid for bonds,” said Prashant Newnaha , senior strategist at TD Securities in Singapore. “Technically 4% on US 10-year is setting up as a make or break level. Expect a sharp rally if this level is broken.” Bonds gained across the region with Australian and New Zealand yields also showing modest declines. Japanese yields tumbled after demand at a 5-year auction showed signs of stabilization. US equity futures retreated. Japan Bonds Rally After Auction Shows Demand Is Recovering Traders are on the lookout this week for further data on the US job market and minutes from the Fed’s January meeting for fresh insight into the potential timing of any shift in interest rates.

Evgeny Gromov/iStock via Getty Images The Reserve Bank of Australia unanimously raised the cash rate by 25 bps to 3.85% at its first policy meeting of 2026, in line with market expectations, and its first increase since late 2023. The move underscores renewed cost pressures that intensified in H2 2025 amid elevated service expenses and a tight labor market, effectively reversing one of last year’s three cuts. Overall, the members agreed there was a stronger case to raise the cash rate by 25 bps, as inflation risks had increased and downside risks to full employment had eased. The central bank viewed that inflation is likely to remain above the 2–3% target band for some time, reflecting stronger economic momentum and a healthy job market. The board added that further policy moves will depend on incoming economic data and its evolving assessment of the outlook and risks, including the balance between curbing inflation and sustaining economic growth. In finalizing its statement, t he board said it will remain focused on its mandate to deliver price stability and full employment and will do what it considers necessary to achieve that outcome.
