Limited impact of Quantitative Tightening on bond yields?

Post by kellyfj »

As the US Federal Reserve accelerates it's quantitative tightening I am surprised to see an analysis suggesting only a limited impact on bond yields
. . .as the cap moves higher, balance sheet normalization will
likely steepen the yield curve with long-term Treasury yields increasing
by an estimated 10-15 basis points, while short-term Treasuries will
likely experience minimal impact. We expect this to be an issue
starting in 2018 when Treasury runoff reaches $12B/month.

Is anyone aware of other views on the possible outcomes of the tightening program?

Thanks!
