Treasury yields are rising after strong economic data, with Franklin Templeton's Fixed Income Chief Investment Officer predicting the 10-year Treasury yield to stay around 4.5% due to a short, shallow cutting cycle by the Federal Reserve. The market is reacting to a potential hawkish move from the Fed based on the latest economic indicators, with the expectation of higher long-term yields in the future and the importance of fiscal spending in supporting the economy. Retail investor activity in the bond space is seen as a positive sign for the balanced role of fixed income in portfolios.
