HSBC Cuts 10-Year Treasury Forecast to 4.65% on Oil Price Drop
HSBC has lowered its year-end 10-year Treasury target to 4.65% amid a retreat from 19-year highs, driven by falling oil prices and easing geopolitical risks. While the bank maintains a hawkish stance with near-even odds of a future rate hike, other forecasters remain divided, with estimates for the yield ranging from 4.8% to 6%.
Yahoo Finance reports that the 10-year Treasury yield has slipped to 4.951%, moving away from its recent 19-year peak, as lower oil prices and potential diplomatic progress with Iran ease market tensions. Additionally, HSBC has revised its two-year year-end forecast upward to 4.20%, citing persistent fiscal deficits that continue to exert upward pressure on the front end of the yield curve.

The report notes that falling oil prices and potential Iran deal hopes have driven yields down from last week's 19-year high, creating a forecast cluster between 4.65% and 5.3% that contrasts with Deutsche Bank's 6% projection.
