The Macro & Rates Desk

The Fed, inflation, yields, currencies, trade, and the global economy that prices every asset

Latest story 6h ago

The Macro & Rates Desk covers the forces underneath every other market: central-bank policy, inflation and employment data, government bond yields, currencies, trade and tariffs, and the economic decisions made in Washington, Frankfurt, Tokyo, and Beijing. It explains why everything else moved.

The desk reports data as released and policy as decided, with the context a reader needs to judge significance: what was expected, what changed, and what it implies for rates and risk. Forecasts are attributed, never asserted as the newsroom’s own view.

What we cover
  • Federal Reserve policy and the FOMC
  • Inflation, jobs, and growth data
  • Treasury yields and the bond market
  • Currencies and the dollar
  • Tariffs, trade, and global central banks
How this desk works
