Boom Lifts Bond Yields

I. Stocks, Bonds & Waller

Today, the S&P 500 had its best day in a month as Treasury yields edged lower and the dollar dropped to its lowest level since May. The policy-sensitive 2-year Treasury yield retreated to 4.34% after briefly rising to 4.41% on Tuesday. These moves reflect a decline in the probability of a September rate hike to about 50%, down from 70% earlier this week.
