Summary
- The European Central Bank (ECB) and US Federal Reserve (Fed) are near the end of their tightening cycles, having raised rates materially in the past year or so.

- Short-end yields are not back to their year-to-date (YTD) peaks, but current levels are elevated enough to appeal to bond market participants.
