Financial markets have scaled back their bets on 2024 easing after a strong January jobs report, as well as clear messaging from Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell and his colleagues that a March rate cut is off the table.

On Friday, both two-year and five-year Treasury yields climbed to their respective 2024 highs. Ten-year yields were less than 1 basis point away from year-to-date peak.
