Inflation Breakevens, Term Spreads Up pre-FOMC


As of yesterday COB:

Inflation expectations (at least a proxy) are up, as expected. However, term spreads are relatively unchanged from before the election. In an earlier time, I might’ve thought this was indicating not much change in perceived growth rate of GDP, but now not so sure.
