The UST rose after softer-than-expected producer prices in the US reaffirmed expectations that inflation may have peaked and allowed the Fed to slow the pace of policy tightening. Rising geopolitical tensions over news that Russia is launching missiles at Ukraine also spurred a flight to safe-haven bonds. Overall yields fell, led by the long-term side. The 2-year UST yield fell to 4.37%, while the 10-year yield fell to a six-week low of 3.80%.

CPI contains different details in terms of reinforcing or questioning the Fed's stance. There has been a loss of momentum in the main indices in recent months, which is important in terms of receding inflation from the peak and opening a comfort zone.

Although the market terminal rate dropped below 5% immediately after the CPI, the statements made within the Fed, especially Brainard, about the reach point of the interest rate increase show that the distance of the run is not shortened and more evidence is needed.
If we look at Turkish assets; Although the lira is traded with a slight depreciation against the dollar, it has been continuing its narrow band movement for the last 2 months. Dollar-denominated bond yields are testing their lowest level since June as the risk premium falls. While the 5-year CDS fell to 559 basis points, the 10-year bond yield fell to 9.3%, the lowest level since January.
