The big picture

The Bank of Korea's hike to 3% comes with growth forecasts revised up sharply, yet inflation is expected to stay above target through 2027. The Fed's tilt, not just its rate decisions, systematically compresses the common risk premium, an effect equivalent to 20% of intermeeting yield volatility. Nagel's warning against guidance beyond September echoes the Fed's caution about conditional statements, which account for 41% of future-oriented sentences.

On the watchlist

  • 2026-09-10: ECB Governing Council decision on rates, with Nagel's stance on September hike to be tested.
  • 2026-09-04: US August employment report, which will shape the Fed's tilt and term premia.
  • 2026-09-15: Bank of Korea's next policy meeting, watching for a follow-up hike after the dissent.
  • German 10-year yield: watch for a break above the highest since 2011, on euro-area inflation data.
