President Donald Trump’s election-related tweets are likely to drive volatility in the U.S. Treasury market, according to the JPMorgan Chase & Co. analysts who created the Volfefe Index.

Named after Trump’s mysterious “covfefe” tweet from May 2017, the index seeks to gauge the impact of the president’s tweets on the world’s biggest funding market by tracking moves in interest-rate options.
