IPC Index — Mexico MarketThe yield on the US 10-year Treasury note held steady around 4.18% on Tuesday as investors awaited the latest consumer inflation report, which could influence Federal Reserve policy. Markets currently price in two rate cuts this year, starting in June, but any upside surprise to inflation could constrain the central bank’s ability to ease. Last week’s nonfarm payrolls report showed December job growth below forecasts, reinforcing a dovish view on Fed policy. Investors were also anticipating a US Supreme Court ruling on the legality of President Trump’s tariff policies, with the decision expected Wednesday. Meanwhile, Treasury yields wobbled on Monday after federal prosecutors threatened to indict Fed Chair Jerome Powell over comments to Congress regarding a building renovation project, raising questions about the central bank’s independence.
