For the week, the rate rose 16.8 basis points for its largest weekly gain since the period that ended on Jan. 19. It is up 28.9 basis points over the past three weeks, the largest three-week gain since the period that ended June 9 of last year.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n      The yield on the 10-year Treasury note<br \/>\n        BX:TMUBMUSD10Y<br \/>\n       rose 5.5 basis points to 4.294%, from 4.239% on Thursday.

The producer-price index rose 0.3% in January, above the 0.1% forecast of economists polled by the Wall Street Journal. It\u2019s possibly another sign inflation won\u2019t slow toward the Federal Reserve\u2019s 2% target as fast as hoped.<\/p>\n<div class=\"paywall\">\n<p>The PPI report came three days after a higher-than-expected January consumer-price index sparked concerns the Federal Reserve may push back further on plans to start cutting interest rates this year.<\/p>\n<p>On Friday, San Francisco Fed President Mary Daly said the central bank should take its time before lowering borrowing costs and that patience is needed to finish the job on inflation.<\/p>\n<p>In other data released on Friday, housing starts fell almost 15% in January, to 1.33 million, as builders pulled back on new projects. That\u2019s the sharpest drop since April 2020. Separately, consumer sentiment crept up in early February to the highest since July 21, according to the University of Michigan.<\/p>\n<h2>What analysts are saying<\/h2>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s been a wild week with a gut check on Tuesday, when CPI came in higher than expected, and stopped the stock and bond bulls in their tracks,\u201d said Chris Zaccarelli, chief investment officer for Independent Advisor Alliance in Charlotte, N.C.<\/p>\n<p>Friday\u2019s PPI report \u201conly further muddies the waters because two strong inflation reports (CPI and PPI) show why the Fed is going to need to move much more slowly to cut interest rates,\u201d Zaccarelli wrote in a note. <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Read the full article <a href=\"https:\/\/www.marketwatch.com\/story\/treasury-yields-nudge-higher-with-fresh-batch-of-u-s-economic-data-ahead-b2d6397b?mod=markets\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>U.S. government debt sold off on Friday, pushing yields to their second-highest levels of 2024, after hotter-than-expected producer-price data created more inflation concerns.
