MSCI’s global shares index gained on Friday, butU.S.. Treasury yields fell with the dollar after good inflation data from Europe and the U.S. raised investor expectations that the Federal Reserve may be done raising rates.

The annual growth in prices, excluding food and energy, fell below 4.0% for the first time in more than two years in August, which is good news for the Fed as it considers monetary policy.

Headline inflation in the euro region rose less than expected and to its lowest level in two years, benefiting hawkish central banks.

“We fear we may not be at peak interest rates and yet be fighting inflation. Invesco global market strategist Brian Levitt said this study shows peak rates may be here.U.S.. Treasury yield curve interest rates are lower. The currency is falling as we worry less about rate rises. Longer-term investments like growth stocks are outperforming.”
