US Treasury 1-month yield on July 31?
💡 What the odds say
Most likely: 3.69 to 3.71 at about a 30% chance.
The field is moderately concentrated (top three sum to 89%) but a clear tension divides it: the prospect of a Fed rate hike this month pushes odds toward higher yields, while a recession warning from the yield curve pulls in the opposite direction, keeping the 3.72–3.74 bucket within striking distance of the leaders.
What's driving it
- • A Bloomberg report on July 13 that traders see a 50% chance of a Warsh-led Fed rate hike this month directly boosted odds for the 3.75%-or-more bucket and narrowed the gap between the top two brackets (Bloomberg.com, Jul 13).
- • Rising U.S.-Iran tensions pushed Treasury yields broadly higher around July 16, reinforcing the upward movement (CNBC, Jul 16).
- • But multiple outlets on July 18 highlighted that a key yield-curve indicator is signaling a possible recession, which would normally suppress short-term yields and thus provides a counterweight to the rate-hike narrative (MSN, Jul 18; The Motley Fool, Jul 18).
Why the front-runners lead
- • The 3.69–3.71 bracket likely led because it sits just above the actual market yield reported on July 16 (Forbes, Jul 16), and a probable upward drift from current levels makes this range a natural consensus landing spot.
- • The 3.75-or-more bucket shares the lead because the 50% probability of a July rate hike (Bloomberg, Jul 13) — which would directly raise short-term rates — gives it a strong, event-driven support that the lower brackets lack.
- • Both front-runner buckets benefit from the fact that a rate hike or ongoing Middle East tension (CNBC, Jul 16) would push yields above recent levels, making lower yield ranges (3.66–3.68 and below) increasingly unlikely without a clear dovish catalyst.
Why it's still open
- • The 3.72–3.74 range (29%) has nearly 1-in-3 odds and could overtake if the rate-hike probability declines or if recession signals (MSN, Jul 18) dominate, pulling yields just a few basis points below the 3.75 threshold but still above the 3.71 peak of the current leader.
- • Any unexpected dovish commentary from the Fed or a sudden de-escalation in U.S.-Iran tensions (CNBC, Jul 16) would sharply reduce the odds of the two top brackets, allowing the 3.66–3.68 or even lower buckets to surge — but the latter remain below 20% each, requiring a significant shift in macro sentiment.
- • The field remains open because the yield-curve recession warning (The Motley Fool, Jul 18) gives a plausible fundamental reason for yields to decline even if the Fed does not hike, splitting the market between inflationary/geopolitical pressure and growth fears.
What to watch
- • The Federal Reserve's July rate decision (expected July 28–29): a hike would push odds heavily toward 3.75-or-more, while a hold would likely consolidate support at 3.69–3.71 or even lower (Bloomberg, Jul 13).
- • Any new U.S.-Iran developments (e.g., a military clash or breakthrough in talks) before July 31 would directly amplify or reverse the yield rise seen on July 16 (CNBC, Jul 16).
- • The release of Q2 GDP data (scheduled July 30) could validate or invalidate the recession signal, sending yields sharply higher if growth surprises to the upside, or lower if the economy contracts.

Crude Oil’s next move: Pump to $120 or Dump to $55?
The market is nearly evenly split between a crash to $55 and a surge to $120, but the small recent shift toward the dump scenario reflects that near-term demand weakness and infrastructure investment are outweighing supply disruption risks for now.

GOLD Price: Pump to $4.900 or Dump to $3.700?
Despite safe-haven demand from the Middle East conflict, gold is trading below $4,000 and facing a bearish 'death cross' technical pattern, pushing the market strongly toward a dump to $3,700 (71% odds) rather than a pump to $4,900.

The field is highly concentrated on Nvidia, but the sum of top-three odds exceeding 100% reflects overlapping bets rather than certainty, and the biggest recent shift is the emergence of SpaceX as a speculative contender, as highlighted by Benzinga on June 16, which could fragment the race if its valuation narrative gains traction.

Next target for the US interest rate (July)
The field is heavily concentrated on a rate hold at 76%, yet the 22% chance of a hike indicates genuine uncertainty, driven by the Fed chair's ambiguous signals and mixed global inflation data that could still tip the decision either way.

Number of FOMC meetings with FED interest rate cuts in the US in 2026
The market is heavily concentrated on zero cuts (72%), reflecting a clear consensus that the Fed under new Chair Warsh will hold rates steady through 2026. The recent Fed minutes (Jul 8) revealing 'inflation concerns grew' and a 'family fight' over rates have solidified the no-cut view, pushing the one-cut option below 25%.

How many Fed rate cuts in 2026?
The field is extremely concentrated on a single outcome—zero rate cuts in 2026—with 85% probability, and the biggest recent shift is the market pricing in hikes rather than cuts, as economists stick to their cut call while markets price in hikes (Bloomberg.com, Jul 24) and the Fed faces a rate hike debate (The South Shore Press, Jul 25).
