TREE NEWS update: New York Fed President John Williams said long-term bond yields are not linked to a shift in inflation expectations, adding that oil prices are also a factor driving yields. He said the Fed does not consider US elections when making policy rate decisions, and noted the rise in long-term yields is not confined to the US, with growth prospects and AI demand both contributing to yield swings. Williams expects inflation to decline, though the persistence of AI’s impact remains a question.
Fed’s Williams: Bond Yields Not Tied to Shift in Inflation Views
AI take
Williams is doing the work of decoupling the recent run-up in long-term yields from any change in inflation psychology, framing it instead as a global phenomenon tied to growth prospects and AI-driven demand. That matters because it gives the Fed cover to treat the move as a market repricing rather than a signal it has lost control of expectations. The open question is whether the AI contribution to yields is a durable investment story or a transient capex cycle — Williams himself flags AI's persistence as unresolved.
