The yield on the 10-year US Treasury note was above 4.25% on Friday, holding the increase on the week after President Trump announced the former Federal Reserve Governor Kevin Warsh to be the next Fed Chairman. The upcoming Chairman is seen on the more hawkish side of the finalists for the position hinted by the President, and was a strong advocate against inflating the balance sheet of the central bank when the global financial crisis spurred the Fed to start its quantitative easing program. Warsh was also known for being an inflation hawk, despite aligning with Trump on voicing lower interest rates recently. Earlier in the week, the Fed maintained its rates unchanged and struck a balanced rhetoric that risks persist to both sides of their dual mandate. Rate futures indicated that markets bet on two rate cuts by the Federal Reserve.
