INVESTORS PILE INTO LONG-TERM U.S. TREASURIES AHEAD OF CPI AND FED DECISION
Investors are favoring longer-term Treasuries, pushing long-term yields lower faster than short-term rates, according to BMO.
Markets increasingly expect the Fed to hold rates steady in October, followed by a 25-basis-point hike in December.
Recent Fed commentary suggests a gradual tightening path, reducing expectations of an October rate increase.
Wednesday's CPI report is the next major catalyst for bond markets.

U.S. DIESEL PRICES SURGE DESPITE TAX RELIEF AND RUSSIAN SUPPLY DEAL
U.S. diesel futures are up 2.1% to $4.8239 per gallon, despite tax relief measures and the lifting of sanctions on Russian diesel.
Analysts warn that tax breaks on dyed diesel offer little benefit to trucking companies, while additional Russian supply is unlikely to ease prices significantly in the near term.
Global diesel markets remain extremely tight, keeping upward pressure on fuel prices.
