A short-term bear theme in Treasuries remains in place and recent gains still appear corrective. Attention is on the bear trigger at 112-06, the Sep 25 low, and the 100-DMA, at 112-09. A clear break of these price points would strengthen a bear theme and expose trendline support at 112-03. The trendline is drawn from the May 22 low. Resistance to watch is 113-02, the Nov 5 and 7 high. Clearance of this level would be bullish.

This is an interesting point. The research the MPC has been citing has suggested that food prices, energy and fuel prices have outsized impacts on inflation expectations. And the narrative had been that food prices were the more concerning recently. This seems to be the point that Greene is making - not that she would be more worried about food than energy if they were both increasing - but that food prices are more of the near-term concern.
Comments crossing from BOE's Greene, who is speaking at a Society of Professional Economists event. Thus far, not much too surprising. A reminder that Greene wrote an OpEd in the FT last week, where she flagged the idea of skipping a rate cut (in line with her recent comments and not a surprise at all).
