    Fiscal Consolidation Eases Long-End Rates and Supports USD Safe-Haven Status

    HA·C:M
    Regime read

    Improving debt dynamics exert downward pressure on the 10Y yield (4.95%) by reducing the fiscal risk premium. Lower government borrowing costs should support equities despite an elevated DXY (118.07), while a stable UNRATE (4.1%) provides the cyclical backdrop for successful consolidation without immediate recessionary risk.
