The yield on the US 10-year Treasury note held around 4.76% on Friday after pulling back from three-year highs, as traders reduced bets on a Federal Reserve rate hike this month following dovish remarks from a central bank official. Fed Governor Christopher Waller said he would support keeping rates unchanged if price pressures continue to ease, adding that his next policy decision will be heavily influenced by August inflation data due next week. Traders now see roughly a 50% probability of a September rate hike, down from about 63% a day earlier. Investors are also awaiting Friday’s August jobs report for further clues on the Fed’s policy outlook. Meanwhile, oil prices were on track for a strong weekly gain amid ongoing hostilities in the Middle East and heightened uncertainty over shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, keeping inflationary risks in focus.
