"Hoisington anticipates a continued decline in long-term Treasury bond yields in 2026, driven by persistent disinflationary forces including a softening labor market, tight credit, and AI-driven overcapacity."
Executive Summary
Hoisington Investment Management's Q4 2025 review outlines eight key forces sustaining disinflation into 2026. The U.S. labor market is underperforming, highlighted by an increase in the unemployment rate to 4.4% and significant downward payroll revisions by the QCEW. Real disposable income remains weak, forcing consumers to draw down savings. Despite interest rate cuts, bank credit is stagnant, real world dollar liquidity fell by 8.3%, and the velocity of money decelerated. On the fiscal side, the budget deficit fell to $1.7 trillion, aided by tariff revenues. Academic research shows that tariff hikes act as demand shocks that suppress growth and lower inflation over time. Additionally, AI capital spending risks causing overcapacity and margin compression, reinforcing the disinflationary path. Given unit labor cost growth of just 1.2%, Hoisington expects long-term Treasury yields to decline further.
