The yield on the benchmark 10-year US Treasury note, which moves inversely to its price, was flat at 1.48 per cent. This yield approached 1.8 per cent in March, but has been pinned lower by a widespread view that surging US inflation, which erodes the real returns from fixed-interest securities, is set to moderate.

基准的10年期美国国债收益率——与价格成反比——持平在1.48%。该收益率3月时接近1.8%，但因人们普遍认为美国飙升的通胀将缓和而有所下降——通胀侵蚀固定利率证券的实际回报。

“I am less sanguine than the market on inflation,” said Desai, pointing out that the Fed this month lifted its own forecasts for price rises. “But if we see it dropping on a month-by-month basis then perhaps the Treasury market has some rationale at current levels.”

“我对于通胀没有市场那么乐观。”德赛说，并指出美联储本月上调了自己的物价上涨预期，“但如果我们看到它逐月下跌，那么美国国债市场目前的水平或许有一定道理。”
