Supply Constraints Stagnate Industrial Output Amid Hawkish Interest Rate Environment
HA·C:M
Regime read
Flat industrial production (1.47) and high oil prices ($96.16) signal a supply-side bottleneck that keeps inflation sticky. With the 10Y yield at 5.29% and the 2Y at 4.88%, the yield curve remains bear-steepened, suggesting that supply-driven price pressures are forcing markets to price a prolonged restrictive stance despite stagnant real activity.
