The Korean Economic Daily provides up‑to‑date information on the Korean economy via Google search. This article discusses how, despite a decline in August U.S. PCE inflation, growth indicators remain robust and long‑term U.S. Treasury yields have risen sharply, causing market turbulence.
Although the August U.S. PCE price decline reduced the consumer inflation rate, the economy still appears strong. Consequently long‑term Treasury yields have risen quickly and investors are readjusting risk premiums. In response to these fluctuations, equities and bonds prices have been volatile, resulting in short‑term losses.
The sharp rise in long‑term rates not only boosts bond yields but also amplifies equity market volatility. Investors express concerns about risk premiums and some are rebalancing their portfolios. Such market reactions underscore overall economic uncertainty and indicate the need to reassess long‑term outlooks.
