According to BlockBeats, on August 31, the yield on the 10-year U.S. Treasury note rose to 4.75%, the highest level since January 2025.

According to BlockBeats, Bank of America Securities stated in a report on August 31 that after Federal Reserve Chairman Kevin Warsh's speech on Friday, the market's expectation of a September rate hike rose to nearly 60%, but the Fed's future tightening policy may still depend on the upcoming August economic data.

Analysts said, "We cannot say for sure that a rate hike is a done deal, because the situation could still change if the August data is very weak. But barring any major unexpected downturn, the responsibility for a September rate hike will fall on Warsh's shoulders."

The August jobs report will be released this Friday. The July jobs report was significantly weaker than analysts' expectations, leading some economists to question the underlying growth momentum of the U.S. economy.
