So suddenly inflation is evaporating, what a shock! If you are surprised you shouldn’t be.
It is likely that inflation will continue to fall as well.
The oil rebound was what fueled the “inflation spike.”
Which caused the 10 year to fall.
But the Fed raised rates. Causing the yield to continue to flatten more.

But it is ok the Fed will now start “unwinding” the balance sheet creating Inverse QE. Helping to push rates higher still.
But alas, Atlanta Fed GDPNow came in today at 3.2 percent. More tomorrow….
