US TSYS: Focus Remains on Midweek FOMC, ISM Service 2Y Highs
May-05 19:32
- Treasuries look to finish lower Monday, off late session lows as rates bounced in reaction to reversal in stocks that had been climbing steadily off early session lows.
- Generally quiet session on lighter volumes (TYM5 <1M) with multiple Spring holidays around the globe: Japan, China, HK, South Korea, as well as the UK, EU is open however.
- Focus on Wednesday's FOMC rate annc at 1400ET. The FOMC is expected to extend its series of rate holds to a third meeting in May, keeping the Fed funds target rate at 4.25-4.50% while maintaining its forward guidance in the Statement.
- Treasury futures gap lower after higher than expected ISM Services data - climbing to the highest levels since January 2023 (51.6 from 50.8 vs 50.2 est; Employment Index 49.0 Vs Mar 46.2; New Orders Index 52.3 Vs Mar 50.4; Prices Index 65.1 Vs Mar 60.9.
- Jun'25 10Y currently -3 at 111-00 vs. 110-28.5 low (10Y yld at 4.3394%), through technical support at 110-30.5 (50-day EMA). A clear breach of this average would strengthen a bearish threat and expose 110-16+, the Apr 22 low.
- Cross asset: Still weaker BBG US$ index bounces to 1221.48 (-3.03); stocks weaker after paring losses all day: S&P eminis -20.5 at 5688.5.
