US TSYS: Holding Weaker Levels/Narrow Ranges Ahead Wednesday's FOMC
Jul-28 20:22
- Treasuries are holding modestly weaker levels/narrow ranges since midmorning, curves bear steepening (2s10s +2.376 at 48.412) ahead of Wednesday's widely expected steady FOMC rate announcement.
- It’s virtually unanimous that there will be two dissents in favor of a cut at this meeting, with Gov Waller widely expected to do so and Gov Bowman also likely (among analysts who expressed an opinion on this).
- Projected rate cut pricing gained slightly vs. early morning (*) levels: Jul'25 at -0.8bp (-0.05bp), Sep'25 at -17.4bp (-16.7bp), Oct'25 at -28.2bp (-27.6bp), Dec'25 at -44.5bp (-43.6bp). Year end projection well off early July level of appr -65.0bp.
- Currently, the Sep'25 10Y contract trades -5 at 110-26.5 (110-24.5 low). Key support to watch is 110-08+, the Jul 14 and 16 low. Clearance of this support would reinstate a bearish theme. First support is at 110-19+, the Jul 24 low.
- EUR sank sharply against all others in G10 Monday, swiftly reversing the opening bid on the back of the EU-US trade deal headlines. Bbg's US$ index looks to finish near late session highs: BBDXY +9.42 at 1209.99.

- SUP 3: 1.3503 1.618 proj of the Feb 3 - 14 - Mar 4 price swing
- SUP 4: 1.3473 Low Oct 2 2024
Despite a recovery from last week’s lows and a further phase of strength Monday, the trend needle in USDCAD continues to point south and short-term gains appear corrective. Markets have traded either side of resistance at 1.3728, the 50-day EMA. A clear break of this average is required to highlight a possible stronger short-term reversal. For bears, sights are on key support at 1.3540, the Jun 16 low. Clearance of this level would confirm a resumption of the downtrend.
